Immediately it is worth notify that if you have a disease such as osteochondrosis, then the massage is allowed only after the inflammatory process is removed. Usually, special procedures and injections are prescribed for this. If you do not fulfill this recommendation, instead of use, you can significantly worsen well-being. It should also be remembered that it is necessary to carry out the neck massage carefully, without particularly sharp tapping and pressing. Otherwise you can harm the nerve endings and provoke violations of the normal state of the vertebrae.

Masseurs usually spend it as follows: The hand of the massage therapist falls across the neck (the thumb is not hoping, and keeps along with the index), go down to the trapezoid muscle along the spine. You can easily exercise more difficult, but you can also. To do this, connect together the index and middle finger and do a similar movement.
