Hi Peter, Thank for looking into relaxing massage in York and your question. Tension across your back and shoulders is a common issue and massage can help here. Also your headaches might well be due to stress as well. The solution massage can offer is releasing that muscle tension and offering you deep relaxation instead. Some medium and deeper pressure strokes acorns your trapezius (the muscle across the top of your back) may be required but, as long as you are working age your body should be resilient enough for these. Feel free to contact me on 07979 814388 and we can arrange an appointment for you over the weekend. All the best, Kevin
