Available in Grange Park, Northampton. ## What a Neck, Back and Shoulder Massage focuses on This massage concentrates on the areas most likely to feel tight and overworked, with pressure adjusted to feel effective but comfortable. - Upper back work to ease stiffness between the shoulder blades. - Shoulder and trapezius massage to reduce tight, raised shoulders. - Neck and base of the skull techniques to relieve built up tension. - Slow, controlled pressure to warm the muscles before deeper release. - Simple check ins during the treatment so the pressure stays right for you. - A calm finish so you leave feeling settled, not rushed. ### When a 25 minute Neck, Back and Shoulder Massage is most useful This is a great choice when you want noticeable relief but do not have time for a full body treatment. - Desk and screen tension, especially tight shoulders and a stiff neck. - Stress that sits in the upper back, jaw, neck, or shoulder tops. - Post workout tightness in the upper back and shoulders. - A quick reset before an event, travel, or a busy week. - Regular maintenance if your shoulders tend to creep up during the day. ### How your Neck, Back and Shoulder Massage appointment runs You will start with a quick chat about where you feel tension, any sore spots, and the pressure you prefer. The massage then focuses on the upper back, shoulders and neck, with adjustments as needed so it stays comfortable and effective. If you are sensitive around the neck, the work can be kept more focused on the shoulders and upper back. ### After your massage, keeping shoulders looser for longer Drink some water and try to keep your shoulders down and relaxed for the rest of the day. Heat at home, a short stretch break, and being mindful of your desk setup can all help the results last. If you get recurring tightness, regular 25 minute sessions can be an easy way to stay on top of it.
