The neck and shoulders work together with our core muscles in holding us up. The neck and shoulders are one of the main places we also hold stress. Sitting for long periods of time at a desk, in an automobile or plane affects our posture and back. The forward head position most people have from working and playing on computers and cellphones strains the muscles as they hold up the head. Additional issues can be caused from car accidents, whiplash, rotator cuff pull or strain, scoliosis, and weekend play injuries. Shiatsu works on treating the whole neck and shoulder area along with the upper back, lower back, chest and hips to increase the movement of the joints and connective tissue while also relaxing the muscles and increasing the circulation and blood flow. This approach opens up the whole torso and upper body.
