FAQ
Everything You Need to Know Before You Relax
Is there parking available near the shop?
Yes, there are several convenient parking options nearby:
On-Street Parking: Pay-and-display parking is available directly along Ecclesall Road.
M&S Foodhall (Opposite the shop): Free parking for up to 90 minutes. (Please consider doing a little shopping to support M&S if you use their carpark!)
245 Ecclesall Rd Car Park: Located just a 3-minute walk from our shop.
We recommend arriving 5–10 minutes before your appointment to give yourself plenty of time to park comfortably.
I have chronic back and shoulder pain and have never had a massage. Which treatment is best for me?
We highly recommend starting with our Back, Neck & Shoulder Massage or a tailored Relaxing Thai Oil Massage. Since it is your first time, these treatments allow our therapists to safely focus on your specific tension spots with adjustable pressure—helping you ease into the experience while effectively melting away stress and muscle tension.
What is the difference between a Traditional Thai Massage and a Relaxing Thai Oil Massage?
Traditional Thai Massage is an oil-free treatment that uses deep pressure and passive Thai yoga stretching to improve flexibility. On the other hand, a Relaxing Thai Oil Massage applies oils directly to the skin using smooth, rhythmic strokes, focusing heavily on soothing the nervous system, calming the mind, and easing daily fatigue.
How often should I get a massage?
For general wellness and relaxation, once a month is ideal. However, if you are targeting chronic pain, intense muscle knots, or high stress, we recommend visiting every 1 to 2 weeks initially. Once your body feels restored and muscle knots ease, you can transition to a monthly maintenance routine.
Can I choose or adjust the pressure during my massage?
Absolutely. Your comfort is our top priority. Before your session begins, your therapist will consult with you about your preferred pressure (Light, Medium, or Firm).
During the treatment, please feel free to tell your therapist at any time if you would like more or less pressure—we want to ensure your experience is completely tailored to your comfort and relaxation.
Do you offer couples massage?
Yes, we do! We have specially designed treatment rooms connected by a sliding door. This allows you and a partner, friend, or family member to enjoy your treatments together side-by-side, while still giving you the option for extra privacy whenever needed. Perfect for special occasions, anniversaries, or a relaxing day out together on Ecclesall Road!
How does your Hot Stone Massage work, and how long are the hot stones used?
Our Hot Stone Massage begins by warming up the muscles with a relaxing massage without oil, followed by an oil massage to release muscle tension. We finish the session with soothing warm hot stones for deep relaxation.
The hot stone portion varies depending on your session length:
- 60-minute massage session: We use hot stones approximately 15 minutes
- 90-minute massage session: We use hot stones approximately 25 minutes
- 120-minute massage session: We use hot stones approximately 40 minutes
