Back, Neck & Shoulder Massage
A massage focused on the areas that hold the most tension day to day: the back, neck and shoulders. Ideal for easing stiffness from screen work, stress or long hours sitting down, and leaving your upper body feeling light again.
Each booking is 15 minutes longer than the massage, to welcome you. Normal pressure.
The treatment
The back, neck and shoulders carry much of the tension of modern life. Hours spent sitting, carrying heavy loads, stress and repetitive movements all build up tension there and leave a feeling of stiffness.
This massage is devoted entirely to these areas. The therapist alternates targeted pressure, kneading and gentle stretches to relax the muscles of the upper back, loosen the shoulders and bring a feeling of suppleness to the neck. The work is adjusted to how you feel, so it relaxes without ever being uncomfortable.
It's the ideal treatment if you feel tension in your upper body, or if you want a massage devoted entirely to the upper body.
