Chloe is a 24 year old receptionist who works 9-5. She also goes to the gym 3 times a week. She had been suffering with some general shoulder pain that just wasn’t going away. It was a dull ache across the top of her shoulders that was there 24/7, but noticed it got worse when she was at work.
Chloe had never been here before, but a friend with a similar problem suggested a sports massage as it had worked for her.

The sports massage therapist found that Chloe had lots of tension in her muscles and even found a few adhesions (a.k.a knots). They explained to Chloe that a course of massage would ease her symptoms. The sports massage therapist also found that when Chloe was seated, her shoulders were rolling forwards. They explained this is likely to be contributing to the reason behind her pain and that it is likely due to the way she sits at her desk when working. However, some exercises to improve her posture could definitely help.
