🍂 Fall Weather & Neck Pain: What’s the Connection?
As we transition from summer to fall, I’ve noticed an uptick in clients coming in with neck stiffness and pain—and there’s a good reason for it.
Cooler temperatures, changing barometric pressure, allergies, and even seasonal stress can all contribute to neck and shoulder tension. When the weather turns chilly, our muscles instinctively tighten to conserve heat. Add in less outdoor activity, school schedules ramping up, and fall allergies, and it’s no wonder our necks are feeling the strain!
Some common culprits:
Temperature drops: Muscles tighten in the cold, leading to stiffness
Barometric pressure changes: Shifts in pressure can inflame joints and tissues
Reduced activity: Less movement = tighter muscles
Stress & allergies: Both can cause extra tension in the neck and shoulders
🌿 How Massage Can Help
Massage therapy can:
Relax tight muscles and improve circulation
Relieve tension headaches caused by tight neck and shoulder muscles
Support better posture and mobility as the seasons shift
Help reduce stress, which is often a root cause of neck tension
So if your neck has been feeling tight lately, you’re not alone—and massage might be exactly what your body needs to adjust to the season change. 🍁
