Back & Shoulder Massage
Targeted Ayurvedic strokes melt away the knots and tension that accumulate in your back and shoulders from daily life.
The Back and Shoulder Massage is a focused Ayurvedic treatment that addresses the area where most people carry their stress: the upper and lower back, shoulders, and neck. Using warm medicated oil and firm, therapeutic strokes, the therapist works systematically to release accumulated tension, improve spinal flexibility, and relieve muscular pain. In Ayurvedic philosophy, the back houses the Sushumna Nadi, the central energy channel of the body. When tension accumulates along this channel, it disrupts the flow of Prana (vital energy) and manifests as pain, stiffness, and fatigue. This targeted treatment works to restore the free flow of energy while physically releasing the muscles that support the spine. As the warm oil is applied and the therapist begins working along the muscles flanking your spine, you feel the tension beginning to dissolve. Deep, focused strokes address the trapezius, rhomboids, and erector spinae muscles, while gentle stretching improves mobility. The session concludes with soothing effleurage that leaves the entire back feeling warm, open, and free.
