Muscle strain will only make you more stressed and cause more muscle strain.

Feeling overloaded in the neck and shoulders?

There is a clear reason for this.

The age in which we live requires us to meet quite a few tasks in parallel.

For example, while you are concentrating on a particular document or work call, a message arrives on WhatsApp that requires a quick response from you, the children need help zooming in or you just pop up a notification on Facebook.

Your brain works on several fronts simultaneously.

Why has everyone been obsessed with their smartphone lately?

To the full article

We are seemingly accustomed to these incessant distractions, but often, our brain is "lost" in the fog of stimuli, and fails to maintain quality efficiency.

Failure to keep up with the pace of completing the tasks will cause stress and a constant feeling of stress, two things whose combination, we have already learned quite a few times, leads to physical and mental results that are not positive at all.

It's a vicious circle: muscle overload that will lead to contractions and pain (muscles in the shoulders and neck), these will interfere with our daily functioning and cause sleep disturbances, which will lead to muscle restlessness and ... we are a very difficult loop to get out of, sometimes 24 hours a day.

To break this cruel loop requires, at times, external intervention, and one of the most natural, positive, and effective is massage.

Receiving medical massage treatments as a maintenance routine will contribute to a permanent reduction of tension in all the muscles of the body, including the muscles of the shoulders, neck and scalp.

The effect of physical relaxation and reduction of pain will allow for a calmer, longer and better quality sleep, dilation of blood vessels and normal flow of oxygen-rich blood and sugar to the brain and will improve its ability to cope with multi-tasking more efficiently.

Reduction of tension in all muscles of the body.

A holistic medical massage performed by a professional therapist helps in blood circulation and removal of toxins in the body, and that is not all: massage can help calm and reduce stress, provide better flexibility and increase range of motion in muscles, relieve migraine and menstrual pain, reduce pain and side effects and side effects Disc, lowering blood pressure and more.



Here are some tips for improving concentration through self-massage:

  • Rotate the arms through all the joints back and forth, from the wrist to the shoulder joint, each time a different joint.

  • Rotate the head left and right, tilt it to the sides and down (and not back or up), applying a little pressure with the hands on the nape of the neck to create another stretch.

  • Massage the scalp in "overlap" motions to warm the muscles and pump blood.

  • Massage the facial muscles with a slightly stronger intensity than stroking, it is especially important to perform stretching to the locking muscles of the jaws using a relatively strong opening movement of the mouth, and a smile as wide as possible.

  • Massage the softness with rotating movements and focused presses.

  • Apply pressure with the palms of the hands on the sides of the head, and try to "push" the scalp skin upwards.

  • Combine the fingers with the palms of the hands on the chicken and perform a massage of the neck muscles using the palm pads in their pressing and rotating movements on the muscles.

It is important to note that anyone who suffers from orthopedic or other problems should consult a professional therapist and not try these movements on his or her own without the guidance of the therapist.
