A massage is a great way to feel rested ahead of a day of sightseeing. Take in famous landmarks like Big Ben, Buckingham Palace, the Tate Modern, and Tower Bridge. In addition to its long history, London's known for its red phone booths, double-decker buses, world-class museums, expansive, lush parks, financial districts, and multicultural vibe.

Many people use Urban to book massages ahead of sporting events like the London Marathon, or even weekly Parkruns!

A deep tissue massage is a treatment that uses strong pressure that builds up to work out tension and knots in the deeper layers of the muscle tissue. The strength of the massage can help with releasing toxins from the muscles.

No, it’s not suitable for anyone with diabetes. If you’re pregnant, try our specialist pregnancy massage, bookable from your second trimester onwards. If you’ve got muscle injuries or dysfunction that’s stopping you moving we recommend our injury/pain management massage instead.

Don't book if you’re unwell with a fever or flu-like symptoms, or if you have a contagious skin disease. If you have a health condition and you’re not sure about booking a massage, ask your GP for advice beforehand.

Therapists have the right to cancel your treatment if they think it will harm you or them in any way.

No, a deep tissue massage should never be painful, and you should let your therapist know if you’re ever in pain. It is, however, normal to feel slight discomfort as your therapist increases the pressure. The strength of deep tissue massage means you might find it makes you feel tired afterwards at first.

While some might find relief from lower back pain from a deep tissue massage, at Urban we recommend our specialist injury/pain management massage delivered by therapists who have undergone extra training. It’s specifically designed to deal with common issues like frozen shoulder, pinched nerve, shoulder and lower back pain.

Give yourself at least an hour post-massage to recover, being sure to drink plenty of water. Bear in mind you’re likely to feel a little sore for up to 72 hours after a deep tissue treatment, but you should be able to go about your normal activities in the meantime.

Urban offers over 15 styles of massage in London, from our signature Swedish massage-inspired treatment the Urban classic, to sports massage, pregnancy massage, relaxing massage, reflexology foot massage and more.
