Neck and shoulder tension.
15,000+ sessions · 20 years of practice · NBSM-registered
Tension headaches, a stiff neck you cannot turn far, a pair of shoulders that sit up near your ears — this is the modern office injury. The fix is not foam rolling the upper traps. It is releasing the muscles underneath (levator scapulae, rhomboids, suboccipitals) that are doing the actual holding.
01
What it looks like
- — A persistent knot between the shoulder blades
- — Neck stiffness when checking your blind spot while driving
- — Headaches that start at the base of the skull
- — Shoulders that creep up toward your ears under stress

How one session addresses it
One session. 60 minutes. €40.
- 01
Infrared preconditioning
Warm the upper back, trapezius and suboccipital region so the deep muscles under the traps can actually be reached.
- 02
Deep-tissue work
Focused work through the levator scapulae, rhomboids, and suboccipitals — not just surface traps. This is usually where the real tension lives.
- 03
Targeted stretching
Upper traps, pecs, and the deep neck flexors — the muscles that hold the shoulders-up-to-ears posture in place.
- 04
Joint mobilization
Gentle mobilization through the thoracic spine and shoulder girdle, restoring rotation that desk work has slowly stolen.
- 05
Cryotherapy
Cold along the neck and base of the skull to calm the nervous system and lock in the release.
03
Who this helps
- · Office workers with screen time
- · Drivers
- · Tension-headache sufferers
- · Anyone who carries stress in their shoulders
Important
When we are not the fit
Headaches that start suddenly, come with vision changes, or are the worst of your life — see a doctor, not a therapist.
After the session
Home care
Drink water. Expect a "worked" feeling for a day. The knot usually comes back lighter each session.
