Teacher, 38 Neck and shoulder tension from screen work 5 weeks
Assessment showed tight upper traps and forward head posture from marking papers and screen time. We used focused neck and shoulder massage, upper back release, and short classroom friendly stretch breaks she could do between classes.
Headaches went from several per week to rare within a month. She now works full teaching days with much less neck tension. Monthly maintenance sessions help her stay comfortable through the school year.
