What is a Home Service Massage?

A home massage, also known as mobile massage or in-home massage, is a professional massage therapy session delivered by a licensed therapist in the comfort and privacy of your own home, apartment, hotel room, or office. It's essentially a way to bring the full, high-quality experience of a spa or clinic directly to you, removing the need for travel.

What to Expect:

  • Booking: You typically book an appointment through a mobile massage company's website or app, specifying your desired date, time, duration (e.g., 60, 90 or 120 minutes), and the type of massage you want (e.g., Swedish, Deep Tissue, Sports, Prenatal).
  • The Therapist's Setup: The massage therapist arrives with all the necessary equipment, including:

    • A professional, portable massage table.

    • Fresh linens and towels.

    • Oils, lotions, or creams.

    • Soothing music (usually played on a portable speaker).

  • Preparation: You simply need to designate a clear, quiet space (like a living room or bedroom) large enough for the table and for the therapist to move around. You can customize the environment by dimming the lights or setting the temperature to your preference.
  • Consultation & Session: The therapist will perform a brief health intake and consultation to discuss your needs, areas of pain, and desired pressure before starting. The massage session itself is conducted just as it would be in a spa, with proper draping to ensure privacy and comfort.
