Space for the massage table

You’ll need about 2x2m of floorspace. To check you have enough space for a home massage, roll out a yoga mat – if you can walk around it easily, you should be fine. 

Three clean towels
You’ll need a small hand-sized towel for the headrest and two large ones for the massage table. 

Candles and spa music optional
The beauty of an at-home massage is you set the scene. Choose what to listen to – from classic spa vibes to something more upbeat - and enjoy creating your home spa by lighting candles.

Here’s how a typical Urban home treatment goes, step by step:

1.Your mobile therapist arrives fully-equipped
For massage, osteopathy and physiotherapy treatments they’ll bring a massage table, massage oils, wax and/or balms, plus any required PPE.

For beauty treatments, they’ll bring salon-quality products with them as well as equipment like UV lamps for gel manicures and massage tables and basins for facials and pedicures.

2.Relax while they set up
Within minutes they’ll turn your living room into a home spa or clinic. Feel free to relax in another room while they get set up or sit and chat with them. For facials and luxury pedicures, your therapist will need access to warm running water.

3.Be guided through a quick consultation
Your therapist will run through some questions (either by chatting to you or with a quick form) specific to the treatment you’ve booked, which might include any health concerns.

4.Get changed in private
For massages, your therapist will leave the room while you get comfortable on the table. You must wear underwear on your lower half at all times, but if you wear a bra you can take it off. Once you’re ready, lie face-down on the massage table (or wait if you need help), with a towel covering you.

5.Enjoy your treatment 
Your therapist will check the pressure’s right at the start, but let them know any time if it’s not.

6.Get aftercare advice and easily rebook
At the end of the treatment your therapist will give you privacy to get dressed before packing down. They’ll recommend aftercare advice, but you can also message them with any questions after your treatment via the Urban app. You can schedule your next session there and then via their app, or rebook easily later. 

For massage treatments, you must wear underwear on your lower half at all times. If you wear a bra, it’s up to you whether you keep it on so your therapist can work on your back – your chest will always be covered. You can also choose to wear sports gear such as leggings or shorts if you feel more comfortable.

A note about safety

All Urban treatments are strictly non-sexual and we have a zero tolerance approach to sexual harassment. That includes (but isn’t limited to) not wearing underwear or exposing yourself. We don’t hesitate to take action against offenders, including involving the police. Read more.

You can cancel your booking at any time, but we do charge a fee if you give us less than 24 hours notice. Here’s how it works:

Our most popular massages include deep tissue massage, sports massage and the Swedish massage-inspired Urban classic. Deciding which massage is best for you is a matter of personal preference: what pressure you prefer, what treatment benefits you’re looking for and how you’d like to feel afterwards.
