What are the benefits of neck Massage?
Although there are several variations, most people experience persistent neck discomfort and stiff shoulders at some time in their lives. It's usually caused by a variety of factors, including poor sitting posture, sleeping postures, vehicle accidents, and even infections.
Over-the-counter medicines and home cures can help with minor to moderate neck discomfort. However, we cannot always count on taking these medications. Forming habits and recognizing the many health benefits of a good workout, stretching, and neck massage are two great ways to avoid long-term neck pain.

What Clients Say About Us
This is like Magic!
I've been to see Chantel at Performance Bodyworks three times now over the past couple of months. I can't even begin to describe the magic she is able to do-- through her stretch therapy, she is able to release all the tension I have in the different parts of my body so I am able to walk out of her office feeling a million times better and less stressed than when I initially walked in. I'm able to achieve with her what I have never been able to achieve even with the deepest of deep tissue massages. If you have chronic tension/pain/knots, I would highly recommend you go to Performance Bodyworks for a stretch therapy session ASAP.

How often should neck massage be done for best results?
Aim to massage your neck every other day. In order to maintain the benefits of massage, it is important to perform it on a regular basis. However, if you are experiencing pain or discomfort, reduce the frequency of massage until the symptoms subside.
What kind of massage therapist should I see for neck pain?
It is best to consult a massage therapist who has experience in treating neck pain. AT Performance BodyWorks, we deal with patients who have neck pain every day and the results are very positive.
A good massage therapist should be able to customize the massage according to your needs. They should also ask about your medical history and any current symptoms you are experiencing. This will help them provide the best care possible.
