𦴠Anatomy fact:
Your neck supports your head (about 10â12 lbs)âŚ
but stress can make it feel like 40.
Chronic stress increases muscle guarding in the upper trapezius, levator scapulae, and cervical extensors, forcing your neck to work overtime.
đââď¸ Massage helps reduce that guarding and restores normal muscle tone.
đ Bonus nervous system fact:
Spending time with friends and laughing activates the parasympathetic nervous system, lowers cortisol, and reduces pain perceptionâespecially in the head and neck.
Same anatomy.
Multiple ways to support it.
Massage + connection = a lighter load.
