Neck, shoulders and stress
The neck and shoulders often carry what the mind keeps holding.
Stiffness in the neck, pressure in the shoulders and tension between the shoulder blades often grow slowly over time.
Work, stress, sitting, responsibility and shallow breathing can all show up in the upper body. Calm bodywork can help the body find more space again.
Context
Why the upper body tightens
The neck and shoulders react quickly to stress, concentration and long sitting. If the body does not get enough time to release, tension can become the normal state.
I work with pressure, slower contact, trigger points and the surrounding areas so the body does not have to defend itself against too much force.
