Back Massage FAQs
A back massage is a massage focused solely on the back, and involves a range of techniques including acupressure, myofascial release, effleurage and skin rolling.
You’re likely to to pay around €40 for a back massage, but expect to pay anywhere between €40 and €70.
If you suffer with muscle tension in your back, then a back massage could be beneficial. A back massage from an experienced therapist can help to relieve back pain by relaxing the soft tissues and reducing muscle aches.
Your therapist is best placed to advise you how often you should have a back massage. It could be anything from once a week to once a month, depending on your body and what you are treating.
They can certainly help to treat knots in your muscles. Massage therapy increases blood flow and relaxes the soft tissue, helping to relieve muscle tension and discomfort.
It’s advisable to steer clear of a back massage if you are sunburned, have a fever or rash, if you are dizzy, bruised, or if you have recently been involved in an accident.
