What is back massage?
A back massage concentrates on the area where most people carry their tension: the whole back, the neck and the tops of the shoulders. It is the standard short treatment in the directory, usually thirty minutes, and the one to book when you have a specific ache, a limited lunch hour or a limited budget.
The technique depends on the therapist and on what you ask for: Swedish strokes for a relaxing session, deep tissue and trigger point work for knots between the shoulder blades, or firmer work on the lower back after a long drive. Many therapists will add a few minutes on the scalp or the arms if time allows.
It is offered by nearly every listing on the site and is the most common mobile and office treatment. If you find yourself booking it every couple of weeks for the same problem, a longer remedial or sports session that looks at the hips, chest and posture as well is usually the better answer.

Where to find it in London
Mayfair, Knightsbridge and Chelsea hold the high-end clinics and hotel spas, where ninety-minute treatments and a few days' notice are the norm and rates run a third above the rest of the city. Soho and Shoreditch are younger and later, with studios open until ten and a strong showing of Thai and deep tissue work for people coming straight from the office. Kensington and Paddington have the largest number of independent therapists working from their own treatment rooms, and Canary Wharf is almost entirely a weekday market: mobile massage to offices and hotels, sports and back treatments booked at lunchtime, and very little at weekends.
