Traps, neck and the base of the skull
Neck and shoulder tension almost always shows up as the same pattern: upper traps pulled high, tight bands along the shoulder blade and a sore ridge at the base of the skull. Your therapist works that whole set rather than only the spot you point to, because releasing one without the others rarely holds.
A 45-minute deep tissue at $100 covers neck, traps and shoulders comfortably. If your jaw, temples or headaches are part of it, Cranial Sacral Therapy at $120 uses very light sustained holds instead of pressure.
For phone necks and laptop shoulders
If you spend the day at a screen or behind a wheel, the front of your chest shortens and the back of your shoulders holds the weight of your head all day. Shiatsu at $125 works pressure points along that line and is a favourite with guests who find deep tissue too intense.
Add a 30-minute Head Spa Treatment at $75 to finish at the scalp and neck. Serving Branford, Guilford, Madison, East Haven, North Branford, Short Beach, Stony Creek and New Haven.

Frequently asked questions
How much is a neck and shoulder massage in Branford, CT?
Deep tissue is $100 for 45 minutes and $129 for an hour; Shiatsu is $125 for an hour at 249 East Main Street.
Which is better for tight shoulders, deep tissue or Shiatsu?
Deep tissue if you want direct sustained pressure on the knots, Shiatsu if you prefer rhythmic pressure point work without the intensity.
Can massage help tension headaches?
