Chicago & Hinsdale Neck Massages You Can Trust
What Causes Neck Pain?
At any given time, at least 15 percent of American adults experience neck pain. Whether it is a short-term occurrence or the result of an ongoing condition or injury, neck pain is extremely uncomfortable and difficult to live with. Medical conditions such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, or cancer can cause neck pain, as can car accidents or other traumas in which the head is snapped back quickly. Even basic lifestyle factors such as posture, sitting at a computer for long periods of time, or improper exercise techniques can take a toll on the muscles in the neck. Neck pain also tends to be more pronounced during colder months when lower temperatures cause muscles to tense up.

What To Expect
Though many types of neck pain may disappear or subside over time, neck massage can alleviate discomfort faster and in a long-lasting way without medications. Reflexion Spa’s locations in Hinsdale and Chicago welcome massage advocates and first-timers alike and our experienced staff will do everything possible to put your mind at ease. Though you do not need to do anything special to prepare for your massage, hydrating by drinking a lot of water for the day before your appointment can help aid in the release of toxins during the massage. Deep-tissue neck massagemay result in some discomfort both during and following your session as the therapist will need to manually manipulate the problem areas, but you should communicate with your massage therapist immediately if the pain is extreme so that they can adjust the amount of pressure applied.
How Effective Are Neck Massages?
You should always talk to your doctor if your pain is extreme or persistent, but the medical community has long recognized the benefits of complementary treatments such as massage. Neck massage in particular is particularly effective for treatment and prevention of injuries and it is often the first remedy of choice for professional athletes. Depending on the source and severity of the pain, it may take several sessions to feel the full effects of cranial massage therapy, but most clients notice some improvement immediately. The pain relief from massage therapy usually lasts for a long time as it addresses the actual problem areas rather than providing a short-term solution like painkillers or muscle relaxants. If your pain is caused by a known injury or illness, your physician may recommend massage in conjunction with other treatment modalities.
Why Choose Reflexion Spa?
Though neck massage is a very effective way to relieve pain, it can be dangerous if done incorrectly. Many people are tempted to self-massage or ask their partner or friends to help them, but this is not recommended. The trained and certified massage therapists at Reflexion Spa have experience in many types of
massage techniques and can incorporate extras such as aromatherapy or specialty approaches to meet your individual needs.
