Shoulder complaints are persistent but respond well to treatment. Targeted massage loosens muscle tension and adhesions.
Shoulder complaints are one of the most common reasons people visit a massage therapist. The shoulder is a complex joint with many muscles, tendons and connective tissue working closely together. Tension in one muscle group affects the whole system, which is exactly why shoulder complaints can be so persistent.
Most shoulder complaints have a muscular cause: overuse from sport or repetitive work, poor posture at a desk or accumulated tension from stress. Prolonged computer work is a classic trigger: the shoulders are raised and the neck held forward, leading to chronic overloading of the trapezius and the muscles around the shoulder blades.
A relaxation massage focused on the shoulder area improves circulation, reduces muscle tension and helps shortened muscles to release. For deeper adhesions or myofascial tension, cupping massage is particularly effective: the cups release connective tissue in a way that is difficult to reach with hands alone.
Every treatment at Masseur Joost starts with a targeted intake: where exactly is the tension, what do you notice and how long has it been there? That shapes the massage entirely.
A session lasts 55 minutes and costs €60. The practice is at Crommelinbaan 29H in Hoofddorp, easy to reach with free parking. Book via WhatsApp or the online booking system.
