Amazing service from Ntombi, as usual. The 30 minute back massage felt like an hour, and a proper massage, not just a superficial rub.

Artisan Skin - the crème de la crème of skin clinics in Cape Town. I couldn't recommended them more. The therapists are extremely knowledgeable and professional. A really top class team. Plus the ambiance and luxurious rooms makes even a bikini wax feel like a spoil!

I had a 90 minute Full Body with Mathapelo. My back and neck had been in spasm for over a week, so tbh, the massage was fairly painful in places, but the relief it's brought has made a massive difference. I fell asleep afterwards. Thanks Mats :-)

Trust me when I tell you that Kaneesha gives a great massage. I had an aching back, stiff neck and sinus pain. She sorted it all out in one treatment.

I always have the best experience at Artisan, and Ilhaam is truly a wonderful therapist-I recommend her to everyone I meet. I had a back facial and carboxy treatment and am very happy with the results, and as always Ilhaam takes care of me very well and is friendly, knowledgeable, and professional.

Back Massage FAQs
A back massage is a massage focused solely on the back, and involves a range of techniques including acupressure, myofascial release, effleurage and skin rolling.
You’re likely to to pay around ZAR 360 for a back massage, but expect to pay anywhere between ZAR 250 and ZAR 495.
If you suffer with muscle tension in your back, then a back massage could be beneficial. A back massage from an experienced therapist can help to relieve back pain by relaxing the soft tissues and reducing muscle aches.
Your therapist is best placed to advise you how often you should have a back massage. It could be anything from once a week to once a month, depending on your body and what you are treating.
They can certainly help to treat knots in your muscles. Massage therapy increases blood flow and relaxes the soft tissue, helping to relieve muscle tension and discomfort.
It’s advisable to steer clear of a back massage if you are sunburned, have a fever or rash, if you are dizzy, bruised, or if you have recently been involved in an accident.
