Head Neck & Shoulders

Most therapists offer their own take on this popular massage style, which targets the upper body and is loosely based on the technique used in Swedish massage. A Back, Neck, and Shoulder massage is a shorter treatment than a Full Body massage. Full Body massages are normally between 50 minutes to 90 minutes and include arms, legs, hands, and occasionally even your face, scalp, and feet. The pressure used may vary, although the therapist tends to use a light to medium touch unless you request a deeper pressure. A good spa therapist will be willing to adapt a massage to suit your individual preference. A variant of the classic Back, Neck, and Shoulder technique is the Back, Neck and Scalp (or Head) massage.
