Your head weighs between 5 and 10 kilos. Once the head is tilted 15 degrees downwards, the weight and pressure increase. The weight of the head is then about 12 kilos. With a tilt of 30 degrees, the head already weighs almost 20 kilos. If the head is tilted about 60 degrees, the pressure on the back increases to about 30 kilos (reports Medical Daily)!

Muscle “knots” are tackled more firmly with pressing movements. A single massage can give a nice relief of the complaints. A regular massage can also work preventively. So, book a massage right now (=link)) to experience this.
