A back, neck, and shoulder massage focuses on the muscles and tissues of the upper body. It is designed to alleviate tension and pain in the back, neck, and shoulders, which are common areas of stress and tension.
During a back, neck, and shoulder massage, a trained massage therapist will use a variety of techniques to apply pressure to the muscles and tissues in these areas. These techniques may include kneading, rubbing, tapping, and stretching.
The massage therapist may also use massage oils or lotions to help reduce friction on the skin and to promote relaxation. The massage can be customized to the individual’s needs and preferences and can range from gentle to more intense pressure.
