Swedish Massage – Back, Shoulders and Neck Only???
I am getting ready for my first Swedish Massage. I think that I would only be comfortable asking the therapist to work on my back, neck and shoulders. Is that a strange request to ask them to only concentrate on those areas?
As a massage therapist, this is probably one of the most common requests I get. The neck and shoulders work very hard and hold a lot of tension from stress. An experienced therapist should know plenty of techniques to help you.
Whether it is your first massage or your 20th, you have the right to dictate where and how you are touched. If the pressure is too deep, say so, and the therapist should lighten up.
P.S. I don’t know if it was the strangest, but I once had a woman who asked me to work on just her feet for an hour. That was probably the worst request I’ve had.

ok this sounds sooo weird but … my neck! i wake up with it really stiff, and have to keep “tensing” it to get rid of this feeling … its been going on for about six weeks now. i had it about a year ago but it went away and now its come back :S
i thought i might be sleeping on it funny so ive tried using more pillows, less pillows, changing positions when i sleep, but its not helping. tried massaging it, moving my neck around. i look like a complete arse tensing my neck like every five seconds … please help
Ok First, it does not sound weird. Is see this every single day in my office. This is a classic presentation of a neck that is out of proper alignment.
You really need to see a chiropractor. They will be able to help realign your neck and help relieve this tension. If it is anything more serious, they will refer you out to a proper specialist.

Ok, so we all know us girls have sneaky tactics at getting guys to do stuff for us, like saying you are cold so a guy will give you his jacket etc. But here is a tricky one, how do you get a guy to give you a little neck massage, without them knowing you are making them do it…
Any ideas for 10 points?!?!?
And not you have hurt your shoulder, it has to be GOOD =D
Thanks
*Angel*
This has worked on me: you are sitting there and you rotate your neck and say that your neck is stiff. And just casually say that you wished you could find a way to relax the muscles there.
Give him about 10 seconds to suggest that he might give you a little neck massage and that should help.
Remember, when you give us guys a problem, we will try to fix it.
