Back massage in Switzerland
Want to discover back massage near you? The back alone concentrates a large part of everyday tensions: the back massage targets them directly for rapid relief. The ads below bring together the masseuses who offer it: compare profiles, prices and availability before making contact.
What is back massage?
The back massage focuses on the entire area from the lower back to the neck, including the shoulder blades and trapezius. This is where most of the tensions linked to sitting posture, carrying loads or stress are located.
It can be inspired by several techniques, from Swedish massage to deep massage, depending on the desired pressure. Its advantage is to offer a real result in a shorter time than a complete massage.
How does a back massage work?
You lie on your stomach, the masseuse spreads the oil on your back and begins with light strokes to warm up the muscles. She then works zone by zone: the lower back, along the spine, the shoulder blades then the shoulders and the neck.
Kneading and thumb pressure help to loosen the most tense points. The session ends with long, soothing movements that connect the entire area.
Who is back massage for?
Back massage relieves lower back and neck pain, improves posture and provides an immediate feeling of lightness. It also helps to breathe better, by relaxing the rib cage.
It is aimed at people who work seated, who drive a lot or who regularly feel stiffness. It’s also a good option when you have little time.
Succeed in your first back massage
Before the session, identify the areas that cause you the most pain and indicate them to the masseuse: she will concentrate her work on them. If you have a diagnosed back problem, talk about that too. For a lasting effect, remember to stretch and move regularly between two massages: the massage provides relief, but daily posture does the rest. In all cases, remain courteous during the first contact, respect the agreed time and notify us if you have an impediment: this is the basis of a relationship of trust with the masseuse.
