What Is a Back, Neck & Shoulder Relief Massage?

This is not your typical spa massage. Kampbell’s upper body massage therapy focuses on releasing tension in the neck, shoulders, and upper to mid-back areas commonly affected by poor posture, stress, or muscle overuse. Sessions are personalized and designed to target specific pain points through advanced techniques such as:

  • Trigger point therapy
  • Myofascial release
  • Orthopedic manual therapy
  • Deep tissue manipulation
  • Postural assessment and correction

This is an ideal solution for people who don’t want or need a full-body massage but are seeking focused, clinical treatment to reduce discomfort and improve mobility in the upper body.

Who Benefits from This Massage?

Professionals & Office Workers

If you spend hours each day hunched over a laptop, you may already be familiar with terms like “tech neck” or “forward head posture.” These postural habits place strain on the neck and shoulders, often leading to tension headaches, muscle fatigue, and reduced range of motion. Kampbell’s treatment is especially helpful for workers in San José’s bustling business districts, including Rohrmoser, Escazú, and Sabana.

Digital Nomads & Remote Employees

Whether you’re set up at a co-working space like Selina or operating from your Airbnb in Santa Ana, remote work can take a toll on your posture and spine. This posture correction massage is tailored for individuals who spend long periods sitting and experience upper back discomfort, helping to restore proper alignment and muscle balance.

Expats Living in San José

For many expats living in Costa Rica, the combination of a new environment, daily stress, and unfamiliar routines can create or worsen upper body tension. Kampbell’s clinical approach delivers much-needed relief, whether you’re based in Rohrmoser, Escazú, or Heredia.

Tourists & Travelers

Long flights, heavy luggage, and unfamiliar beds can wreak havoc on your back and shoulders. If you’ve just arrived via Juan Santamaría International Airport or are exploring the Central Valley with a backpack in tow, this upper body massage in Costa Rica is a smart way to reset your posture, reduce tightness, and enjoy your travels pain-free.

Conditions and Symptoms This Massage Treats

This service is designed to address a range of upper body conditions, including:

  • Tension headaches
  • Neck stiffness or limited range of motion
  • Upper back tightness and knots
  • Shoulder pain and poor mobility
  • Muscle fatigue from overuse or poor posture
  • Stress-related muscle tension

It’s also a great option for anyone recovering from repetitive strain injuries, long flights, or postural imbalances related to sedentary lifestyles.

How This Treatment Works

Unlike spa massages that emphasize relaxation, Kampbell’s approach blends clinical expertise with therapeutic goals. Each session starts with a brief assessment of your symptoms, posture, and range of motion. Using this evaluation, Kampbell employs various hands-on manual therapy techniques tailored to your specific needs.

His specialty leans more towards bone formation rather than physiotherapy rehabilitation. I also focus on rehabilitation and movement, but clients often seek me out for musculoskeletal training, injury recovery, and massage. Musculoskeletal and therapeutic chiropractic is a field dedicated to diagnosing, treating, and preventing mechanical issues of the musculoskeletal system, especially the spine, as well as injury repair.

Key techniques include:

  • Trigger point release to deactivate painful knots in the muscles.
  • Myofascial work loosens connective tissue restrictions.
  • Orthopedic mobilization to improve joint function in the neck and shoulders.
  • Stretching and movement guidance to restore mobility and support long-term relief.

The goal is not just to feel better temporarily, but to treat the root cause of your discomfort, whether it stems from poor posture, muscular imbalances, or stress accumulation.

Not a Spa Massage — A Therapeutic Approach

If you're seeking a chiropractic approach that focuses not just on temporary relief, but on long-term wellness, this service may be exactly what you’re looking for. Unlike traditional spa massages that prioritize ambiance and relaxation, this experience is built around your body’s needs, providing a results-driven method to enhance your overall function.

Kampbell Blanco Valverde leverages his extensive knowledge in chiropractic care to address issues such as tech neck, shoulder impingement, and chronic tension headaches. His objective is to assess, treat, and empower your body toward self-healing rather than simply alleviating symptoms. By employing techniques like spinal adjustments, joint mobilization, and myofascial techniques, he targets the core of your discomfort.

Every session is tailored to evaluate your unique biomechanics. Kampbell analyzes your posture, spinal alignment, and movement patterns to identify the root causes of your pain. He doesn't just focus on the painful areas; instead, he looks for underlying issues, such as misalignments, restricted movement, or postural imbalances, which may be contributing to your discomfort.

This is chiropractic care, not indulgence. It’s a commitment to restoring your body’s natural alignment, enhancing mobility, and ensuring you can navigate your daily life with greater ease and vitality.
