Neck and shoulder massage at Andrea Massage and Spa is a focused session that targets the tension built up from daily stress and posture strain. The muscles across the top of the shoulders and along the neck tighten during long hours at a screen, on the road or under pressure, and they rarely get a chance to let go. Clients throughout Little Neck, Douglaston, Great Neck and Bayside book this session when the shoulders feel raised, the neck feels stiff and turning the head has become an effort.
Each session at our Douglaston Parkway studio starts with a short conversation about where the tension sits and how much pressure you prefer. Your therapist then tailors the massage to your needs, focusing on the areas that feel tightest. Our Google reviews describe the therapist as professional and the massage as the best so far.
Focused Work on the Trapezius and Neck
Warm gliding strokes across the shoulders and upper back prepare the muscles. Your therapist then works into the trapezius with kneading and thumb pressure, releases the muscles around the shoulder blades with slow holds and finishes with gentle work along the sides and base of the neck. Light stretches restore movement. Easing tension at the base of the skull may also help reduce how often tension headaches appear.
Shoulder Relief Whenever You Need It
Andrea Massage and Spa is open 24 hours, every day, so you can book a neck and shoulder massage after a long shift, before an early start or whenever the tightness becomes hard to ignore. Call (917) 485-9799 to check availability and discuss your session. Bookings and payments are handled directly through the studio, so confirm the details with us before your visit.
