A focused treatment for the scalp, neck, shoulders and upper back — the places that absorb desk work, screen time, travel and stress. For clients who want targeted attention without committing to a full-body session.
How Does It Work?
The therapist customizes pressure and focus to your preference, then works through the scalp, temples, neck, shoulders and upper back. Because the session is concentrated on a small region, even thirty minutes covers the area thoroughly.
Key Benefits
Concentrated Region
All of the session time goes to the areas that actually hold your tension.
Fits a Lunch Break
Thirty and forty-five minute options make it practical mid-day or between meetings.
Includes Scalp Work
Scalp and temple work is part of the treatment, not an optional extra.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to undress?
Far less than for a full-body massage. The session focuses on the scalp, neck, shoulders and upper back, and your therapist will explain what is needed.
Will oil be used in my hair?
Tell your therapist beforehand if you would prefer to keep your hair product-free, and the scalp work will be adapted accordingly.
Thirty or forty-five minutes?
Thirty covers the area well. Forty-five allows more detailed work on the scalp and upper back, which suits clients with persistent tightness.
