As an extension of our enveloping body treatment , this massage targets the muscle chains of the back . The movement is slow, enveloped in warmth and silence.

Here we offer you a complete overview of this treatment, from its manual techniques to its benefits, in a premium spa designed for deep relaxation.

Why do the back and neck concentrate tension?

The back and neck bear the brunt of prolonged sitting , screen time, and stress. These areas quickly become prone to stiffness.

The trapezius and lumbar muscles contract in response to nervous fatigue. A targeted massage stimulates circulation and releases these knots.

In our high-end spa , each session begins with a discussion to locate areas of tension .

The back and neck massage protocol at Mont Anis

The session begins with a period of extended breathing , the skin warmed by a lukewarm vegetable oil.

The practitioner moves upwards from the lumbar region towards the nape of the neck , using slow pressure. The rhythm remains steady, without ever applying force to a sensitive area.

The treatment concludes with a soothing stroking of the neck and shoulders, to prolong the relaxation in a premium establishment .

The manual techniques used

The light touch opens and closes the session. It prepares the tissues and establishes calm.

Kneading works the muscle groups deeply. The gliding pressure follows the path of the fibers to dissipate tension.

On the most tense points, the practitioner applies static pressure . This technique is inspired by the principles of relaxation massage .

The benefits for the body and mind

On a physical level, massage loosens the shoulders and restores mobility to the neck.

On a nervous level, it lowers stress levels . Breathing slows down, the mind calms, and sleep is often improved.

It is also a precious moment for oneself in a high-end spa where time seems to stand still.
