Back Massage
A focused 30-minute back, neck and shoulder treatment — ideal for desk workers and anyone carrying tension in their upper body.
- Releases upper-body tension
- Improves posture
- Eases headaches
- Quick lunchtime reset
What the back massage actually is
A concentrated 30-minute treatment for the back, neck and shoulders — the three places almost every desk worker in Nairobi stores tension. There is no full-body sequence to get through, so the whole half hour goes into the region that actually hurts.
The therapist combines warming strokes, kneading through the trapezius and rhomboids, and specific pressure into the knots either side of the spine and along the top of the shoulders.
Who it suits best
- Office workers with a stiff neck and tight shoulders
- Anyone with a tension headache building
- Drivers stuck in long Nairobi commutes
- Guests who want targeted relief inside a lunch break
- New guests testing us before booking a longer treatment
Benefits you can expect
Immediate upper-body relief
Focused time on the trapezius and rhomboids relieves the band of tightness that builds by mid-afternoon.
Fewer headaches
Neck and shoulder tension drives many everyday headaches; releasing it often clears them the same day.
Easier posture
Freeing the upper back lets the shoulders drop back naturally instead of being held forward over a keyboard.
Efficient
Thirty minutes, straight to the point, and you can return to work afterwards feeling clear rather than drowsy.
What to expect in the room
- 1A quick check on where the tension is worst and any recent injury.
- 2You lie face down under a sheet with only the back uncovered.
- 3Warming strokes first, then progressively firmer work through the shoulders, neck and spine borders.
- 4Specific pressure held on individual knots, released as they soften.
- 5A short finishing sequence over the whole back before you get up.
How we set the pressure
Medium to firm, adjusted region by region. The upper trapezius often takes more than the lower back does, and the therapist will treat them differently rather than applying one pressure across the whole area.
Aftercare
- Drink water through the rest of the day — muscle work moves fluid around and hydration helps you feel clearer.
- Keep the next hour gentle if you can. A slow walk is fine; a heavy gym session usually is not.
- A warm shower or bath in the evening extends the release you felt on the table.
- Mild tenderness for a day after deeper work is normal. Sharp pain is not — message us and we will adjust next time.
