How do I give a targeted massage for neck muscle pain?

It is easiest to identify the location of cervical (neck) spasm by lying flat on your back looking up at the ceiling. This relieves your neck of bearing weight, and you can search the muscles when they are more relaxed. Begin by placing your fingertips at the base of your skull, and gently press into the muscles.

Then slowly run your fingers down your neck, eventually trying to cover all the areas between the base of your skull and the top of your shoulders. If very light pressure causes significant or stabbing pain in your neck or through your upper back, you are still in an acute stage, and you should not proceed. However, in most cases the light contact will feel soothing and will gently ease the tightness and pressure.

This response is an indication you can proceed, and although it generally feels good, by itself the light pressure has very little if any overall benefit. When you reach the specific offending muscle fibers, the gentle and soothing pressure will suddenly turn to a very localized sharp or ice pick-like sensation. That's your spasm.

It should feel like a tiny steel wire or perhaps a small pea in the midst of softer, more pliable tissue. If you are having trouble locating the area, you can gently increase the pressure you are using. However, when working on your neck, be sure to never apply deep or heavy pressure above the shoulder level.

This area contains large blood vessels and large, sensitive nerves that can be vulnerable to severe compressive forces. To massage neck spasm, apply firm and steady circular pressure over an area about the size of your fingertip for thirty to forty-five seconds. If you feel general muscle tightness in your neck, you can also safely use gentle, superficial, soothing massage over the specific site two to three times daily.

There is no benefit to massaging the entire neck for long periods of time. Gentle and regular targeted massage is all that is required to reduce neck spasms.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
