Before you book any massage treatment you should get familiar with the options available to meet your specific needs and answer yourself some questions. Where do you want to have a massage treatment done?

Massage can be delivered at your place at home or hotel room. Some independently working massage therapists or agencies employing the therapists offer mobile massage in London only and they do not have a physical location for you to visit them. Sometimes referred as outcall massage, mobile massage or visiting massage, we refer it as Offsite Massage where the massage therapist – male or female masseuse visit you at home or hotel room. This is very convenient service for those very busy with work or family or unable to attend a site.

Second option is to visit your local therapists or massage place near you in London. You can also travel to receive a massage at local spa, beauty & massage salon or visit the independently working massage therapists at their location. We refer the service they offer as Onsite Massage, so please see their profiles or browse our website for such a service only.

There are also several questions you should consider asking your massage therapist before booking the service with them – qualification, delivery of the massage – on a portable bed when visiting you or floor mat, length of treatment, price. Usually you should have 2-4 large towels prepared before, take shower before, dress appropriately (wear underwear) or lose clothes for Thai or partial body massage, and be ready 15 minutes before they arrive at your place.

If you visit massage place, spa, or arranged an onsite massage when you visit the massage therapist, please be 10 minutes before or on time, be respectful, clean, use appropriate dress code requested by the massage therapist, and communicate clearly. You should also mention any health problems you have, pain or past surgeries. Always be transparent and communicate clearly with the massage therapists before and during any treatment.

Let your massage therapists know any places of discomfort you have just before starting the massage. If there is any specific area that is providing your discomfort, the therapist can concentrate on that and try to give you some relief. She can also be careful to stay away from any places that are especially sensitive.
