This focused massage targets the areas that most often hold stress: the upper back, neck and shoulders. It is designed to release tight muscles, ease stubborn knots and help you move more comfortably, especially if you spend long hours at a desk, driving, or carrying tension in your shoulders.

More information

What this back, neck and shoulder massage includes

The treatment concentrates on the muscles that commonly tighten with stress, screen posture and repetitive upper-body strain.

  • Brief check-in on where you feel tight, sore or restricted before treatment begins.
  • Targeted work through the upper back and shoulder girdle to soften tight bands and knotty spots.
  • Focus around the neck and base of the skull to reduce that heavy, compressed feeling.
  • Pressure and pace adjusted during the massage to stay effective and comfortable.
  • Simple aftercare guidance to help you keep the release in your shoulders and upper back.

Built for desk shoulders, driving posture and stress-held tension

If your shoulders sit up by your ears, your neck feels stiff when you turn your head, or your upper back aches by the end of the day, this massage concentrates on the areas most likely to be overloaded. It can also be a good choice if you feel tight between the shoulder blades, or if one side feels more worked than the other.

How the 60 minute appointment runs (45 minutes treatment time)

You will have time to settle in, discuss any sensitive areas, then move into the hands-on massage. Most of the treatment time is spent working across the upper back and shoulders, with focused work into the neck to finish, so you leave feeling less braced and more open through the chest and shoulder line.

After your massage: keeping your neck and shoulders looser for longer

Drink water, keep your shoulders warm, and avoid intense upper-body training straight afterwards if the area feels tender. If you sit at a desk, small changes like screen height and relaxed shoulder positioning can help the results last between visits.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this a full body massage?
No. This treatment focuses on the upper back, neck and shoulders to tackle the areas where tension most commonly builds. If you want legs and lower back included, you will need a different service.
Can I ask for deeper pressure on knots in my shoulders?
Yes, as long as it stays comfortable and your muscles can relax into the pressure. Your therapist can work gradually into tighter areas rather than forcing intensity too quickly.
Will this help with stiffness from desk work and screen posture?
It is designed for exactly that pattern of tightness, especially across the upper back and the tops of the shoulders. Many people notice easier neck movement and a lighter shoulder feel afterwards.
What do I wear and how much do I need to remove?
You will usually undress to a level you are comfortable with so the upper back and shoulders can be treated properly. Towels are used throughout to keep you covered, with only the area being worked on exposed.
When should I avoid a back, neck and shoulder massage?
Avoid massage if you have a fever, a contagious illness, a new or unexplained injury, or severe pain that has not been assessed. If you are under medical care or unsure, check with your GP and let your therapist know before treatment.
