The ‘just right’ of massages
Feeling tense, tired or in need of some time out? Our signature medium-pressure massage is designed to melt away stress, soothe achy muscles and bring your body back into balance.
It’s our version of the classic Swedish massage, the happy-medium between deep tissue and a relaxation massage — firm enough to ease tension, but never too intense. If you're new to massage, the Urban classic is a great place to start.
Releases tension, the gentle way
Using Swedish massage techniques like slow, flowing strokes, this treatment helps melt away tension without the intensity of deep tissue — ideal for easing tightness while keeping things soothing.
For when you can’t decide
The perfect balance between working out stiffness and leaving you completely at ease — it’s the happy-medium between deep tissue and pure relaxation.
A great intro to massage
With its smooth, flowing techniques and just-right pressure, our Urban classic is an ideal introduction to massage. Gentle enough to ease you in, effective enough to feel the benefits.
After a quick consultation, your Urban pro will perform a full-body massage treatment using massage oils or lotions to soften your muscles.
During treatment expect long, slow strokes and gentle-but-firm pulling and pressing to softly warm your muscle tissue. Your pro will personalise the treatment to your needs, whether that’s more tension-releasing work or calming techniques for stress relief.
Afterwards, just roll onto the sofa or straight into bed – but make sure to keep yourself hydrated.
Want something firmer? Try deep tissue massage for strong pressure and muscle recovery. Or if you’re after something softer, a sleep or relaxing massage is perfect for even deeper relaxation.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Learn more about the Urban classic
The Urban classic is our take on the traditional Swedish massage. It’s a full-body massage designed to ease tension, improve circulation and leave you feeling less stressed. It blends light-to-medium pressure with slow, flowing strokes and gentle kneading, helping to release tight muscles without the intensity of deep tissue work.
Your pro will start with a consultation to work out your preferences, so they can tailor it to what you need – whether that’s deeper work in your tight spots, or more relaxation techniques to help you unwind.
Pretty much! Swedish massage is one of the most well-known massage styles, and the Urban classic follows the same principles – long, smooth strokes, gentle kneading and just the right amount of pressure.
We’ve refined it to make sure it’s the perfect happy-medium – firm enough to relieve tension but always deeply relaxing. So whether you're a massage newbie or a seasoned pro, it’s a treatment that works for you.
Both are great, but the main difference is in the pressure.
Swedish massage (Urban classic) is more focused on balancing relaxation with relief, using light-to-medium pressure. It’s designed to release tension gently, boost circulation and help you unwind. It’s perfect if you want something soothing but still effective.
Deep tissue massage is stronger and more targeted. It uses firm pressure to get deep into tight muscles and break up knots. It’s the go-to if you need serious muscle relief, especially after workouts or long periods of stiffness.
Still unsure? If you love a mix of relief and relaxation, the Urban classic is a safe bet. If you prefer strong, intense pressure, go for deep tissue.
Yes, we offer fully customisable massage sessions. From massage type to pressure level and extras like aromatherapy, you can tailor your session to suit your needs. You’ll see all the options to customise your experience when you book.
We don't recommend this treatment if you're pregnant – try our specialist pregnancy massage instead, delivered by therapists with extra training.
