What is a cervical massage for

A cervical massage serves first of all to release tension in the cervical area and eliminate neck stiffness.

In fact, there are people who tend to accumulate tension in the cervical due to work, for example, and who tend to go regularly to receive these massages.

Some of the professionals who suffer most from these problems are those who spend many hours in front of the computer and even those who answer the phone for a long time.

It is inevitable to vary the posture and adopt positions that end up damaging the cervical. If this is not corrected, it can reach the point of not being able to move the neck due to stiffness.

But it is not only about bad posture at work but also about the specific position of the cervical spine, which not only supports the entire weight of the head but also the impact of your footsteps as it is the end of the spine.

Therefore, to avoid pain or stiffness or the other effects of neck tension, neck massage alone is not enough.

Our recommendation is that you accompany them with good postural habits, that is, you should be aware of avoiding the problem rather than solving it when it has already appeared.

Benefits of a cervical massage

Besides relieving tension, a cervical massage has additional benefits to your health and well-being.

Relieves tension headaches

This type of condition occurs when tension builds up in areas such as the suboccipital or trapezius muscles.

Cervical massages that treat the entire area through trigger points, gentle movements, and stretching can reduce the frequency and intensity of headaches.

Reduce dizziness and vertigo

One of the causes of dizziness and lightheadedness lies in the tension of the upper cervical muscles, which are not coordinated with the movements of the eyes.

Thanks to these massages and the release of tension, these symptoms can be greatly improved while you get greater well-being in your day-to-day.

Eliminate trigger point pain

Trigger points are very sensitive nodules found in muscle fibers that produce pain.

They can be eliminated through physiotherapy and cervical massage with techniques such as dry needle acupuncture, inhibition, or stretching of the muscles in the area.

Improves joint problems

There are some problems related to the upper spine that are the product of poor posture, improper movements or excessive accumulated tension.

In all these cases, a decontracting massage can alleviate the discomfort and even, depending on the case, eliminate it completely.

A sensation of general well-being

The relaxation of the muscles also leads to a sensation of general relaxation that goes beyond the physical to the psychological.

That's why getting a neck massage from time to time promotes happiness by noticing physical improvement.

How to do a good cervical massage

Before anything else, you should know that if you perform a cervical massage to someone you should be careful because in the area there are very sensitive points.

Do it with the aim of relaxing the muscles and without further pretensions, since to solve other problems related to the cervical you have to go to professional specialists.

The step by-step that you must follow for a cervical massage is as follows:

• Watch your posture. The person you are going to massage can be face up or face down, depending on the specific muscles you are going to work.
• Perform the basic maneuvers. Sliding, kneading, mobilizing, and circling. Remember to use smooth, slow movements.
• Watch for reactions. If the person's breathing quickens or he/she gasps, for example, perhaps he/she is not enjoying the massage. Ask him/her.
• Use oil or cream. It will help you glide your fingers across the skin more easily and may contribute to the relaxation of the person being massaged.

Remember, once again, that you must be very careful if you are going to do a cervical massage on someone as you will be touching delicate areas.​​​​​​

Unlike other types of massage, here you should not make intense movements but soft and slow, since relaxation is sought at all times.
