Back and neck massage —
where the desk day lands
Forty minutes on the shoulders, neck and lower back. The format for people who don't ache everywhere — just in one very specific place, every single evening.

Who this is for
Eight hours at a screen loads a surprisingly small area: neck, the strip between the shoulder blades, the trapezius, the lower back from sitting. The rest of the body does almost nothing in that time. So forty focused minutes there tend to do more than an hour spread thin across the whole body.
People usually arrive with the same three sentences: it pulls between the shoulder blade and the spine, the shoulders turn to stone by the evening, turning the head one way feels wrong. That is not a diagnosis and I don't make them — it is simply what walks through the door most often.
What happens in the session
You don't need to undress completely: for back and neck the upper body is enough, everything else stays covered. I usually don't start where it hurts — the source often sits a level above or below, in the thoracic spine, the lats, or at the base of the skull. Pressure is adjusted as we go, and I ask. Deep knots can be noticeable, but nothing has to be endured.

How long it lasts
Honestly: it depends on what happens between appointments. If the desk stays the same, the light feeling usually holds for a few days and then the old pattern returns — that is the eight hours of sitting, not the massage. The people whose interval stretches from two weeks to five or six are almost always the ones who raised the monitor and started standing up twice a day.
40 or 60 minutes
Forty-five minutes is enough when it really is neck and upper back. The 70 € hour makes sense if legs, hips and the lower back belong in the session too — with desk work that is more often the case than people expect. If you are unsure, book 40 minutes and tell me at the start what bothers you; I'll set the priorities inside the session at no extra cost.
