5 Things You Can Do Today to Melt Shoulder Tension

Shoulders up by your ears? Neck feeling like a brick? You’re not alone. Living and working in Hackney—or anywhere in London—means long hours, desk time, workouts, and stress, all of which pile tension onto your shoulders.

Here are 5 simple things you can do today to release that tightness and feel human again:

1. Desk Stretch Reset – Every hour, roll your shoulders back and open your chest for 30 seconds. It helps undo that hunched-over posture.

2. Breath Break – Inhale for 4, hold for 4, exhale for 6. This signals your nervous system to relax.

3. Warm Compress – A hot water bottle or heated wheat bag loosens tight muscles and improves blood flow.

4. Hydrate – Dehydrated muscles cramp and tighten faster. Keep a bottle at your desk.

5. Book a Massage – Sometimes, you need more than DIY fixes. A targeted shoulder and neck massage can release weeks of built-up tension in one session.

Massage isn’t just about relief—it’s about resetting your whole system. At No More Tension, we focus on deep, restorative work that eases pain, calms the mind, and leaves you feeling lighter.
