What is a mobile massage therapist?
A mobile massage therapist brings everything they need, including their massage table, and sets up in the comfort of your own home. That means you get all of the luxury right there, in the comfort of your own home.
This is perfect if travelling is a challenge, you prefer the comfort of your own space or just if you feel like bringing a little indulgence into your day.
Swedish Massage
Swedish massage uses different pressures and techniques to help ease muscular tension or promote relaxation. Treatments are adapted to your own needs and often include options like: full body massage, back and shoulders or focusing on a specific problem area. If you’re looking for a relaxing, all-round massage, Swedish massage could be a great place to start.
Deep tissue massage
For those looking for more pressure, a deep tissue massage is a great alternative. This treatment uses slow, sustained pressure to work into deeper layers of muscle. Deep tissue massages are a great option for you if you are struggling with tight or aching muscles.
Sports Massage
You don’t have to be a professional athlete to benefit from a sports massage. Sports massage uses a variety of techniques, including kneading, myofascial release or trigger point therapy, to work with the muscles and wider musculoskeletal system. Whether you enjoy an active lifestyle or spend most of your time behind a desk, sports massage is a great way to tackle your aches and pains.
Seated Massage or Indian Head Massage
Indian head massage works on the head, neck and shoulder muscles to relieve stress or tension, and as an added bonus, it improves your scalp health. You can usually enjoy this treatment fully clothed and sat upright, so it can be the perfect option for those who aren’t able to enjoy a full body massage.
Aromatherapy Massage
If you love the idea of a relaxing massage with an extra boost of luxury, aromatherapy massage could be just what you’re looking for. This treatment combines gentle massage techniques with carefully chosen essential oils, creating a calming and indulgent experience designed to help you slow down, relax and take a little time for yourself.
Pregnancy Massage
Pregnancy massage is specifically adapted for expectant mums, providing a relaxing treatment while taking the changing needs of your body into account. Whether you are hoping to ease some of the aches and pains that come with growing a whole person, or are just looking for a moment of peace while you can, a good massage can be the perfect way to indulge in a moment of self-care.
As with any treatment during pregnancy, it’s important to choose a suitably trained therapist and check that the treatment is appropriate for you.
Ready to find your massage match?
Whether you desperately need someone to work out the knots in your shoulders, fancy an hour of uninterrupted relaxation or simply want to try something new, there’s a massage treatment out there for you.
