Neck Pain Relief for All Ages: How Registered Massage Therapists Help You Move Better

Neck pain is one of the most common reasons people seek care. Whether you’re a student spending long hours at your computer, a busy parent juggling responsibilities, or someone noticing more stiffness with age, neck pain can affect how you work, sleep, and enjoy life in downtown Kamloops.

Why Neck Pain Happens

Common reasons include:

  • Prolonged sitting or “tech neck” from phones and laptops

  • Stress and tension leading to tight muscles

  • Age-related changes in the spine and joints

  • Sports or workplace strain from repetitive movement

Whatever the cause, neck pain doesn’t have to slow you down.

How RMTs Can Help

Registered massage therapists (RMTs) are trained to provide safe, evidence-informed care directed at muscles, joints, nerves, and connective tissues. At Well+Able, treatments often include:

  • Hands-on techniques to ease pain and improve movement

  • Patient education to give you confidence and control

  • Movement and posture tips for daily life

Every treatment plan is personalized — your goals and input matter.

Tips for Everyday Relief

Here are a few strategies that can make a difference:

  • Take micro-breaks from your desk every 30–60 minutes

  • Do gentle neck stretches to keep mobility

  • Adjust your workspace ergonomics for comfort

  • Try walking through downtown Kamloops — movement helps circulation, mood, and overall health
