Verified listingWhat is hot oil massage?
Hot oil massage uses oil warmed to just above body temperature, applied generously and worked in with long, firm strokes. The heat relaxes the muscles before the pressure arrives, so the therapist can work more deeply than with cold oil while the session still feels soothing. Coconut, almond, sesame and olive oils are common, sometimes infused with herbs or essential oils.
It is particularly good for stiffness in cold weather, for dry skin, and for people who want firm work without the intensity of deep tissue. Many therapists combine it with acupressure on the back, shoulders and feet, and with scalp massage, where warm oil is a traditional treatment in its own right.
Sessions are 60 or 90 minutes. The oil is heated on the spot, so it is offered as a mobile treatment by many therapists as well as at studios. Expect to feel soft-skinned and sleepy afterwards; it is a good evening booking.

Where to find it in Manchester
The City Centre and Deansgate cluster around the office towers and the hotels, with a lunchtime trade in thirty-minute back treatments and an evening one in deep tissue for the gym crowd. The Northern Quarter is where the independent therapists and the Thai studios concentrate, and where hot stone, aromatherapy and holistic sessions are easiest to find. Salford Quays serves the media and business crowd at MediaCityUK, mostly by mobile appointment to hotels and offices, while Didsbury is residential, quieter and books further ahead.
