Do you suffer from typical headaches or neck pain/tension? Barring any serious medical condition, try this simple technique between massages for sweet relief; take a few minutes and lie down or recline in a supportive high back chair and place a cold beverage can comfortably behind your neck.
The cold will help reduceinflammation and also tells your brain that the area is ‘cold’ and not tight or painful, this interrupts the pain/spasm/pain cycle.
The shape of the can will help encourage the natural ‘c’ curve in your cervical spine by aiding in shock absorption, diminishing strain on posterior neck muscles by allowing them to return to their neutral position, and lengthening ofanterior neck muscles.
The stillness will calm body & mind.
