neck rub
Tension relief touch
A neck rub is a massage of the neck and shoulder area, typically brief and informal.
Neck rubs relieve tension from stress or poor posture.
The term sometimes carries intimate or suggestive connotations, as offering someone a neck rub can be a pretext for physical contact: He offered her a neck rub, and one thing led to another.
