Massages are one of the best things in life (in our humble opinion). It benefits health, feels good, and improves mental and physical well-being. But we know that not everyone realises that massage is a cure, not a gimmick. We sometimes answer the dreaded questions of massage beginners, and we are here to answer them. Here are 9 reasons why home service massage is a boo-tiful thing.
There is no space for a massage table.
Don't worry, we are a
professional massage. Fitting in surprisingly small spaces, massage tables are used in studio apartments and cozy hotel rooms in all service areas. A 4' x 7' space is sufficient.
I have a cat or dog.
Good news! According to the licensed massage therapists in Sophia’s Health Massage, a full 93% have absolutely no problem with your furry bundle of joy.
A stranger came to my house.
Each massage therapist in Sophia’s Health Massage is licensed and insured in their practice and is directly inspected by Sophia’s team. When you schedule an appointment online, we'll tell you who your therapist is so you know exactly who they are.
Book your massage with confidence at home
I am injured or out of shape.
This is a common problem, don't worry. Experienced and licensed massage therapists have worked with a wide variety of people of all shapes, ages, and physical conditions. Anyone can do a massage.
I've never had a massage before and I don't know how to prepare.
You're in luck. You really don't need to do much to prepare for your first home massage. The massage therapist will do what's called a "check-in": ask you a few questions about any physical conditions or sore spots they should be looking for. Then they will excuse themselves to wash their hands, which gives you the opportunity to undress (up to the point where you’re comfortable, of course). Then you just lay back and relax, and let the therapist do what they do best.
I have allergies.
Some people are concerned that the lotions and oils that massage therapists use may cause skin reactions. Don’t worry, Sophia Health Massage therapists bring their fragrance-free, color-free, hypoallergenic lotion to all massage appointments. Of course, they're happy to use whatever products you have at home - just make sure you don't use coconut oil if you're allergic to nuts.
I don't want to be naked in front of a stranger.
You may be worried about privacy or being discovered. Massage therapists are very experienced in draping or covering your body with sheets except for the part of your body you are working on. No private part of your body will be worked or left uncovered. If you don't feel comfortable getting naked or if you're hosting a spa party with a large group of people you know, a cloth tabletop massage might be for you. Similar to a chair massage, this tablecloth massage lasts about 10-20 minutes at a time and focuses on the neck, arms, back, and legs.
I couldn't fit a massage into my schedule.
Most spas close after normal "office hours", making it impossible to get a massage after work or before bed. That's where Sophia comes in. You can book a Sophia’s Health Massage anytime between the hours of 9.30 am and 6.30 pm. Still not convinced? Read more about us or join the conversation on
