Massage can ease a stiff neck after long hours of sitting, stress or sleeping in an awkward position. But if the pain runs down your arm, your hand goes numb, or the pain started suddenly after an injury, an assessment comes first, not a massage. That is the short answer.
At Fizio Spa we never work on the neck blindly. The therapist first checks mobility, asks what makes the pain worse, and only then chooses the technique and the amount of pressure. With the neck, gentler and more precise work is almost always smarter than forceful pressure.
If it is ordinary stiffness, a 45- or 60-minute therapeutic massage is usually enough. When there is a suspicion that the problem comes from a joint or a disc, a physiotherapy treatment makes more sense, where massage is combined with mobilisation and exercises.
The warning signs are clear: pain spreading into the arm, numbness, weaker grip, dizziness, or pain that keeps you awake at night. With any of these symptoms, contact a doctor or physiotherapist first, and only then plan a massage.
The fastest way is online booking via Fresha, and the confirmation arrives in your inbox straight away. If you are not sure whether you need a massage or a physiotherapy assessment, write to us via the contact page and describe where it hurts and how long it has lasted.

It is a good choice for stiffness after sitting, stress or a poor sleeping position, when the pain does not spread into the arm. Caution is needed if your arm goes numb, if the pain started suddenly, or if it comes with weakness. In that case an assessment comes first.
When the pain is new and severe, when it spreads into the arm or head, when there is numbness or weakness, or when your doctor has already advised caution because of a condition. In these situations an assessment is done first, and only then is a decision made about massage.
Tell us where exactly it hurts, how long it has lasted, whether it spreads and what makes it worse, for example computer work or driving. You do not need to know any technical terms. A plain description of your day is the most useful thing for the therapist.
