Back, Neck & Shoulders Massage in Manchester
Release upper-body tension and sink into relaxation.
Hunched over your desk, shoulders creeping up to your ears, and your neck stiff every time you turn your head? This is for you if work stress, bad posture, or life’s weight is settling into your upper body. It releases that tightness, gets your blood moving, and helps you feel like you can actually move your head without wincing. You’ll walk out standing taller and breathing easier – like someone’s taken a load off your back, literally.
What is Back, Neck & Shoulders Massage?
A Back, Neck & Shoulders Massage is perfect if you’re carrying tension in your upper body. This gentle, light-pressure treatment focuses on releasing stiffness and soothing aches around your shoulders, neck, and back – the areas that often hold the brunt of daily stress. It’s not a deep tissue massage, but it’s designed to ease tightness, improve circulation, and leave you feeling relaxed and re-energised. Ideal if you’re looking for something calming and restorative.
