Most individuals are dealing with some kind of postural stress,” says Ada registered massage Ascot therapist, and owner at Chinese Massage Therapy in Egham. “More often than not [that stress] tends to manifest in the shoulders and neck.”

Desk workers, beware. More advanced forms of postural stress “show up as pain or weakness in the low back  caused by prolonged periods of sitting.”

At massage Ascot, we believe a massage can counteract the imbalance caused from sitting, which means you can keep your desk job—as long as you schedule a regular massage.
