BookI went there with a lot of shoulder and neck pain. I did not go for a massage, but a more pain relief and stretchy informational treatment. My shoulder and neck pain is almost all gone. Remember to stretch every day people :)
Root Cause
Back, Neck & Shoulder Pain Massage in Playa del Inglés, Gran Canaria
If you are on holiday in Gran Canaria with lower back pain, a neck that will not turn, or a shoulder that has hurt for months, this page is for you rather than the relaxation menu. Most people arrive having already tried the obvious — rubbing the sore spot, a hot shower, a massage that felt good for a day. What I do is different in one specific way: I start somewhere else, and I show you what to do when you go home.
How It Works
Pain rarely starts where you feel it
A neck that will not let go is usually being pulled from further down — the lower back, the hips, the legs. That is where we start, and it is why the relief holds.
What I share is what I worked out on my own body over two decades: the posture corrections, the stretches and the few simple exercises that keep a spine free. My hands open the door — releasing what is locked too hard for you to reach yourself. Everything after that is yours to do.
Almost everyone feels the change before they leave. Whether it lasts is decided by what you do with what I show you, and that is the whole point. This is not something you come back for every month. It is something you learn once.
After an Accident
If your pain started with an accident
Pain that began with a fall, a car accident or a sports injury behaves differently from pain that built up slowly at a desk. Tissue heals at its own pace. What often does not settle by itself is everything the body did to protect the area at the moment of the impact, and that can carry on long after the injury has healed.
“A storm does not flood a house because of the rain. It floods because the water carries everything loose with it, and the drain stays blocked long after the sky is clear. A crash, a fall, a sudden shock of pain will do the same to a body. Much of my work is clearing the drain.”
In my experience this matters most in the first weeks and months after an accident, up to about half a year. After that, pain people still blame on an old accident has usually become something else — posture, work, the way they have moved since. Working out which of the two you are dealing with is part of the first session, because the answer changes what we do.
Some people arrive after being told an operation is the next step. I cannot tell you whether that is right for you. What I can tell you is what I do myself, before any decision that cannot be undone: I ask five people from five different fields — doctors among them, and others who work in completely other ways. There are very good doctors, and there are very good massage and holistic therapists; what I look for is the same in all of them. Ten years or more of real practice, not degrees or certificates. A paper tells you nothing about whether somebody is good at the work. I listen to all five without arguing with any of them, and only then do I decide. One opinion is one angle. Five of them show you the shape of the thing, and the decision stays yours.
What I can add is simple: hands-on work is reversible and surgery is not, so you usually lose nothing by seeing what changes first.
If I do not think I can help you, I will say so.

Questions
Before You Book
Both, and the order matters. There is hands-on work — deep and precise, on the areas that need it. But at least half the session is spent showing you what to do yourself: how to sit, how to sleep, which two or three stretches are worth your time. If you want an hour of pure relaxation with no homework, the Signature Experiences are the better choice.
Because the body is a chain. Tight hips tilt the pelvis, the lower back compensates, the shoulders round forward to keep your eyes level, and the neck ends up carrying the whole arrangement. Working only where it hurts treats the last link. We start further down and work up, which is also why we read your posture before anything else.
Usually one. This is built to be learned once, not subscribed to — you leave with the corrections and the exercises, and they keep working long after your holiday ends. A second one is worth having all the same, and that is from experience rather than principle: within a few days most people have drifted on at least one of the movements without noticing, and it is not something you can see in yourself. We watch you do them and correct the drift.
Most of what you take away is knowledge, and that travels home with you. A single Structural Reset gives the fullest picture if time is short, since it covers the whole chain rather than one region.
Yes. The Reset work travels — all that is needed is a little floor space alongside the table. Mention where you are staying when you get in touch and we will sort out the details.
