Raises morale by making employees feel valued. Client Benefits Lets think for moment what actually happens to our muscles when sitting at a computer screen. We tend to stick our head forward. This causes the neck muscles to tense up to take the full weight of the head, which weighs approx. 4-6 pounds. A tense neck causes restriction in two ways. Less blood flowing to the brain for concentration and less air to the lungs causing shallow breathing. Massaging the neck improves oxygen flow to the brain and opens airways to deepen breathing. Both aid circulation, digestion and concentration. Stress can then travel down into the shoulders, arms and finally hands - a well-known area for muscle tension. Often muscles are unconsciously 'held' or contracted. Raised shoulders for instance, create a tremendous amount of tension for the whole of the upper back. Because rather than just hanging as nature intended, they actually have to fight against the force of gravity to remain continually raised. Long periods of inactively and bad posture at the desk leads to a stiffening up and loss of flexibility. Where there is muscle tension there is blocked energy. When the muscle is released by massage, the energy is unblocked making us feel wonderfully energised, yet relaxed. Massage can locate tensions held in the body. These are often held unknowingly for years and work in these areas can bring life back into these parts.
