Massage for Neck & Shoulder Pain in Vancouver - W11 Therapy

The neck and shoulders are where working life accumulates: screen time pulls the head forward, stress raises the shoulders, and the muscles in between do overtime. At W11 Therapy in South Granville, CCHPBC-licensed RMTs assess how your neck, shoulders, upper back, and chest work together, then treat the pattern — including whiplash-associated pain under ICBC claims, where 25 sessions are pre-approved within 12 weeks of an accident.

Neck & shoulder patterns we commonly work with

• Desk and "tech neck" tension from screen work
• Stress-carried shoulders
• Whiplash-associated pain after a car accident (ICBC)
• Waking up with a stiff neck
• Shoulder muscle tightness from training or overhead work
• Neck-driven tension headaches

When to see a doctor first

Neck pain with numbness, tingling, or weakness down the arm, or pain following trauma, needs medical assessment before manual therapy. Our RMTs screen for these signs and refer on when indicated.

Insurance & direct billing

Massage therapy by a CCHPBC-licensed RMT is eligible under most BC extended health plans. We direct bill Sun Life, Manulife, Pacific Blue Cross, Green Shield, Canada Life and ICBC when your plan or claim allows it.
