Massage Therapy in Crawley

Fresh linens per client (non-negotiable), clean towels, washed hands or shower before your session, and clean equipment. For mobile massage, the therapist should arrive with laundered linens in a sealed bag. If linens look reused or the table is sticky, end the session — this is the clearest professionalism signal there is.

If you already go monthly, a 5-10 session package at 10-20% off pays for itself. Beware chains that make cancellation hard or expire credits quickly — read the expiry and freeze terms. Never prepay a large package at a business you haven't visited at least twice.

Roughly 2x the single rate, sometimes with a small bundle discount at spas. For mobile couples massage, two therapists work simultaneously, so expect 2x the mobile rate plus one travel fee rather than two. Back-to-back sessions with one therapist are cheaper but double the total time.

A short health intake (medications, injuries, surgeries, pregnancy), a discussion of your goal areas and pressure preference, then the treatment. You undress to your comfort level — you're always draped except the area being worked. Speak up during the session if pressure is too much; a good therapist adjusts without fuss.

A 60-minute session runs £40-£100, averaging around £60 outside London and £65-£80 in it. Mobile massage adds £10-£25 travel, with London mobile sessions commonly £70-£120. Sports and remedial massage at clinics runs £45-£90 per hour.

No — anyone can legally offer massage, which is why checking credentials matters. Look for a Level 3+ diploma and voluntary registration with the CNHC or FHT. London adds one legal layer: premises need a borough Special Treatment Licence. For mobile therapists, the qualification and insurance are what you check.
