Best Back Massages near me in Layerthorpe, York

Fabulous experience and so quiet even in the middle of York. Emily the therapist is lovely and will work on any areas that feel most tension. Absolutely first rate

Wonderful experience at my Spa Massage just outside York. Afer much online research, booked Deep Tissue Massage Treatments for Two (sister and self) at Shabby to Chic just outside York centre and were completely satisfied. Both Elise and Sarah were very professional taking pride in their work - both therapists took the time to listen as to which areas to concentrate on and the treatments were tailored accordingly. Wished we lived nearer, as were just in York for a couple of days - would like to go back on a regular basis to pursue a tailored treatment plan - can't speak highly enough!

Had a deep tissue massage at svasti wellness today, iv had some aches and pains for a while so decided to get them seen to, Yok is extremely knowledgable, she did an evaluation first of all, asked me a few simple questions and asked me to move a little to see what the problem areas were, she knew straight away what the issue was and got to work. I feel much better after one treatment but will need to return for a couple more appointments to really fix things. Extremely knowledgeable and talented masseuse and I will recommend Yok to everyone. Can't wait To go back.

Fabulous therapist and venue. Venue really quiet even though it's in the middle of York city centre. Will be back regularly for treatment

After not having had a massage for a few years, Hilde was great at releasing lots of tension in lower back and shoulders, would highly recommend Hilde for deep tissue release.

Absolutely amazing! Sophie was so knowledgable and amazing. I felt so reassured and welcomed from the start. Sophie tailored the time to exactly what was needed for me specifically and worked on my areas of most tension and need in my back. She was patient, so skilled and absolutely amazing at what she does. I will definitely return, Thankyou so much Sophie my back neck and shoulders feel so much less stiff and tense!

Emily is incredible! I have suffered chronic back pain for years, and have had many, many massages but Emily was game changing. For the first time in a long time, I am pain free and honestly feel inches taller. I live 45 minutes away and had my massage as part of a weekend away, but I am already planning a return trip. A 45 minute drive is worth it to feel this good after years of pain. Thank you Emily xx

Had a lovely relaxing neck,shoulder and scalp massage. Very friendly atmosphere and such a cosy setting, perfect for winding down at the end of the day. Will definitely be going back

Fantastic relaxing massage. Great combination with the back, neck and scalp massage. Would highly recommend.

My daughter had a Japanese head spa done by the lovely Holly and she absolutely loved it, she has asked for another one! Holly also managed to fit me in for a mini treatment: back, neck and shoulder massage which really helped with my muscular pain. Highly recommend 👌

A delightful hour with Emily. Just the relaxation that I needed during a stressful time. Chilled, laid back atmosphere. If you're thinking of a treat for yourself - do it. If you're thinking of a gift for a loved one - do it. Many thanks Emily & Pernilla.

great attention to areas with most tension

Emily was so amazing, she knew want to say and do to cater to my needs. She was welcoming and friendly. I felt unreal after and so relaxed. Can't wait to get back!!

Fabulously warming with attention to all the areas around my back, neck and shoulders that needed it! Holly once again delivered a great treatment and always has me thinking ‘what should I book next time!!’ Cannot recommend more highly.

Ideal. Just what I needed for some time out. Will be back!

I’ve been going to Sophie for treatments for a while now and she is absolutely brilliant! Mostly been for deep tissue massages on my back, not for the faint-hearted but very effective. Sophie is professional, knowledgable, friendly and excellent at what she does. Had a lymphatic drainage massage today, which was also fabulous!

I’ve had multiple massages with Pernilla and I try come back for more sessions as much as I can. I can’t express enough how amazing she is and I always look forward to Friday massages with her. I’m so glad I’ve found Massage 22 and I highly recommend booking with Pernilla. Thanks Pernilla, it’s always so great seeing you.

Indian head massage absolutely dreamy, Elsie is extremely good at what she does, I have booked back in today for a back massage 45. If anyone is on the fence I would encourage you to go and you won't be disappointed ❤️

Thank you Pernilla for a wonderful massage. You really worked to sort out my knots and relieved the tension. The ambiance was really relaxing and calming. A thoroughly enjoyable experience. I will definitely book again.

Absolutely perfect! Feel like every knot was massaged out. Highly recommend and will be back again x

My first ever deep tissue massage, and my first ever appointment with Elise. Absolutely amazing experience! She worked wonders on the many areas of tension, and despite some (expected) ouchy moments working out the deep knots, I left feeling so much better physically and definitely a lot more relaxed. Just wish I had the money to have a couple of these every week! Room is lovely and cosy, absolutely adore the electric under blanket!Definitely deserves the 5 stars x
