@blackpearlmassage: Support 💪🏻 your neck because it upholds your life ! | Lauren - Gilbert, AZ 🌵 LMT The average skull is about 10 to 11 pounds, and your neck has to carry that weight for the entirety of your life. As massage therapists, we can’t miss out on giving our clients attentive neck work. A lot of back issues may have a root cause coming from the neck, especially occipital or a cervical spine dysfunction. These are my ways that I work the neck without injuring my thumbs, but some of the moves definitely involve using your thumbs. The neck could be someone’s favorite part to get worked on, so I try to incorporate some, even if that wasn’t the client’s focus. Im located and Gilbert AZ and I’m accepting new clients always! #pain #massage #massagetherapy #SmallBusiness #painmanagement
