Merluza brings a precision approach to relaxation. Our 45 minute Aromatherapy Back Massage focuses on back, neck, and shoulders, pairing confident technique with an oil blend chosen for how you feel today and what your muscles need.
We read posture, map tension, and sequence a flowing treatment that releases knots, improves circulation, and settles the nervous system. You leave lighter, looser, and ready to move well again.

What’s Included
A focused, back of body treatment designed for busy schedules. Every appointment includes:
- Brief consultation to map tension, pressure preferences, and any contraindications
- Bespoke essential oil blend selected for mood and muscle needs
- Warm towel compress to prime circulation
- Focused back, neck, and shoulder sequence using Swedish flow, myofascial glide, and light trigger point as needed
- Quiet, low stimulus setting on request with adjusted lighting and music
- Aftercare coaching and a simple home routine to extend results
Who It’s For
Desk shoulders, gym tightness, new parent fatigue, and anyone carrying stress who wants therapeutic results that still feel luxurious. Suitable for most skin types and sensitivities. If you prefer fragrance light care, we can use neutral or nut free carriers and keep scents subtle.
Duration & Appointment Timing
This is a 45 minute hands on massage. Please allow around 60 minutes in total for check in and aftercare. Arrive 5 minutes early, and plan gentle time after your treatment. For ongoing tension, weekly or fortnightly visits help reset patterns. For maintenance, book every 2 to 4 weeks.
Aftercare & Maintenance
Hydrate well, keep warm, and avoid intense workouts or very hot baths for 24 hours. Expect mild tenderness as tissues release. Gentle stretching and slow breathing extend the benefits. Leave oils on skin for a few hours or shower with a mild cleanser. If you have any redness or discomfort that persists, contact the salon for advice.
