Spanish term or phrase: óptimos para las cervicales

Luz natural, jets de masaje óptimos para las cervicales y un placentero momento para la natación.

From a leaflet for a spa. The water zone. There's no further context for this particular item: there then follows a description of the gardens. I am thinking of deviating from the original slightly and putting 'massage jets that are just perfect for the muscles/ neck muscles'...Any ideas or suggestions most welcome. Thanks in advance. For UK audience. :)

perfect for relaxing the neck (muscles)

Explanation:
If this is a spa rather than a medical facility, I prefer "relaxing" to "relief", which implies that you have to have something to be relieved from! I.e., relaxing opens up the clientele to those who simply want to be pampered as opposed to merely those who actually need treatment of some sort. But it depends on who the target audience is. If they're going for some sort of treatment, rather than for pampering, then you could also say

Excellent for the cervical vertebras- the atlas, the axis and vertebra prominiens

Explanation:
I think that needs a longer explanation as clients might ask questions later and, one needs to explain what the cervicales are. I must confess that just found out myself out of curiosity and, trying to help of course.
