When we are sitting at a desk all day, we tend to carry our stress heavily on the shoulders and neck. Massage therapy can relieve the postural stress that results from prolonged periods of sitting and improve your overall posture. If you work a desk job, be sure to pay attention to any pain or weakness in the lower back, shoulders, and neck. Scheduling a regular massage will not only help you relax after a busy month at work but also greatly counteract the negative health effects that result from sitting down all day.
