Why Do the Neck and Shoulders Feel So Tight?
The neck and shoulders often hold tension caused by:
Long flights and travel
Poor posture
Computer and phone use
Stress
Carrying heavy bags
Sleeping in an unfamiliar position
Physical activity or repetitive movement
When these muscles remain tense for too long, they may begin to feel stiff, sore, or tired.

Massage therapy may help relax tight muscles, improve circulation, and reduce everyday muscular tension around the neck, shoulders, and upper back.
A massage therapist can focus on the areas that feel especially tight and adjust the pressure to your comfort level.
Some guests prefer gentle, relaxing pressure. Others may benefit from deeper work on stubborn muscle tension. The right choice depends on your body, your comfort, and how you are feeling that day.
