Who is this full deep back massage for?
This treatment is ideal for people who experience recurring tension, stiffness or restricted movement throughout the lower back, upper back, neck, shoulders and arms.
It may also support people whose muscles feel overloaded because of prolonged posture, demanding work, sport or repeated upper-body activity.
It is particularly suitable for:
- office workers and people who sit for long periods;
- professional drivers and frequent travellers;
- surfers, kitesurfers, wingfoilers, cyclists and athletes;
- people with physically demanding jobs;
- anyone who regularly lifts, carries, pulls or performs repetitive movements;
- people experiencing tension around the shoulder blades or restricted shoulder movement;
- people dealing with muscular overload or repetitive strain;
- anyone who prefers targeted, results-focused bodywork to a general full-body massage.
A complete treatment for the back and shoulders
The full deep back massage covers the complete posterior upper body, from the lumbar and thoracic areas to the neck, shoulders, shoulder blades and arms.
Because the session focuses exclusively on these areas, Arianna has time to work carefully and precisely without rushing through a full-body routine. The exact pressure and combination of techniques are selected according to what your body needs on the day.
Focused treatment from the lower back to the neck
The Full Deep Back Massage covers the complete posterior upper body, from the lumbar area through the thoracic spine and up to the neck.
Because the full 50 minutes are dedicated to these areas, Arianna has sufficient time to assess where tension is concentrated and work through each region carefully without rushing.
This makes the full deep back massage particularly valuable when a standard full-body massage does not allow enough time for persistent tension in the back, neck and shoulders.
The treatment may include the:
- lower and middle back;
- upper back and shoulder-blade area;
- neck and shoulders;
- muscles surrounding the shoulder joint;
- upper arms and forearms where relevant.
Deep tissue massage
Slow, controlled pressure is used to work with deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue. This can be particularly useful for persistent muscular tension, heavily used muscle groups and areas that feel difficult to relax.
Research suggests that massage therapy may support short-term pain relief and physical function in some common musculoskeletal conditions.
The technique is applied gradually, allowing the body time to respond rather than forcing the tissues. This makes it possible to work more precisely around the back, shoulders and neck while keeping the treatment comfortable and effective.
Deep pressure does not need to be excessively painful to be useful. The intensity is always adjusted to your comfort, sensitivity and response throughout the session.
Myofascial and trigger point techniques
Research suggests that sustained pressure on myofascial trigger points may support short-term improvements in neck pain, mobility and physical function, although results vary between individuals.
Myofascial techniques use slow, sustained pressure around areas that feel tight or less mobile. Trigger point work focuses on sensitive points within the muscles that may cause local or referred discomfort.
A systematic review and meta-analysis found that ischemic pressure on myofascial trigger points may support short-term improvements in certain neck-pain-related symptoms and mobility. Results differ between individuals, so these techniques are used as supportive bodywork rather than as a guaranteed cure.
Cupping therapy
When suitable, silicone or vacuum cups may be used on selected areas of the back and shoulders. The cups create gentle suction, offering a different sensation from the compressive pressure used during massage.
Cupping may complement hands-on treatment in areas that feel particularly stiff. A systematic review found that cupping therapy may help reduce neck pain and support physical function, while also highlighting the need for further high-quality research.
Arianna’s cupping technique is gentle and designed not to leave visible marks. It is always optional and only used when appropriate.
Stretching and gentle mobilization
The treatment may include assisted stretches and controlled mobilization of the shoulders, arms, neck and back.
These techniques are intended to support comfortable movement and flexibility. A systematic review found that manual therapy may improve range of motion in people with myofascial trigger points, although results cannot be guaranteed for every person.
Other research also suggests that manual therapy and dry cupping may offer short-term support for myofascial pain and trigger points.
A combination of targeted techniques
The Full Deep Back Massage is not based on one single method. Arianna combines different manual techniques according to how your body feels and responds during the session.
Using these techniques together during the full deep back massage allows the session to be adapted more precisely than a fixed massage routine. The goal is to support easier movement, reduce the feeling of muscular overload and help the back, shoulders and neck function more comfortably.
The treatment may include:
- deep tissue massage for persistent muscular tension;
- myofascial techniques for areas that feel tight or less mobile;
- trigger point pressure for sensitive muscular points;
- cupping therapy as an optional decompression technique;
- assisted stretching to support flexibility;
- gentle joint mobilization around the shoulders, neck and back.
Arianna’s approach
Arianna combines professional massage training with more than ten years of personal experience as a kitesurfer on the waters of Tarifa.
She understands how repeated pulling, rotation, impact, strong wind conditions and long sessions on the water can place extra demand on the back, neck, shoulders and arms. This practical experience helps her adapt the treatment to surfers, kitesurfers, wingfoilers, windsurfers and other active people.
Her approach is never based on a fixed routine. Arianna adjusts the pressure, techniques and areas of focus to your body, activity level, mobility and personal goals.
Why choose the Full Deep Back Massage?
Unlike a general full-body massage, this treatment dedicates every minute to the areas that need the most attention.
The aim is not simply relaxation. It is focused bodywork designed to support mobility, recovery and more comfortable movement in daily life, work and sport.
Every session of the full deep back massage is adapted to your pressure tolerance, mobility, activity and personal needs.
It is a strong choice when your goal is:
- focused relief from back, neck and shoulder tension;
- more freedom of movement;
- support after sport or physical work;
- attention to repetitive strain and muscular overuse;
- deeper treatment around the shoulder blades and upper back;
- a personalized treatment rather than a standard routine.
What can you expect?
The Full Deep Back Massage can support comfort, movement and recovery, but it cannot diagnose an injury, permanently correct posture or replace medical treatment or physiotherapy.
Persistent, severe, unexplained or worsening pain should always be assessed by a qualified healthcare professional.
After the treatment, you may experience:
- less muscular tightness;
- easier movement around the neck and shoulders;
- a more relaxed feeling through the upper body;
- temporary tenderness after deeper work;
- a gentle cupping sensation without visible skin marks.
How to prepare for your massage
To get the most from your Full Deep Back Massage:
- avoid a heavy meal shortly before the session;
- drink normally and arrive well hydrated;
- wear comfortable clothing;
- mention any recent injuries, surgery, medication, pregnancy, skin conditions or sensitivity to pressure;
- let Arianna know if you prefer lighter or deeper pressure;
- avoid intensive training immediately before the appointment when possible.
If you are unsure whether deep tissue work or cupping is suitable for you, mention this before the session.
Aftercare

After a deeper massage, temporary tenderness or sensitivity can occur, especially in areas that received more focused work. After the treatment:

- avoid unusually intense exercise for the rest of the day if your muscles feel sensitive;
- keep moving gently rather than remaining completely inactive;
- allow your body time to recover;
- avoid strong heat on areas treated with cupping if the skin feels sensitive;

The gentle cupping technique used during this treatment does not normally leave visible marks on the skin.
