A Sanctuary of Relaxation and Healing​

Spa & Massage offers many services to promote relaxation, relieve tension, and address various physical and emotional issues. From deep tissue and sports massages to aromatherapy and reflexology, their highly trained therapists craft each session to the client’s individual needs.

But what really makes Spas and Massages unique is its method of creating a true sanctuary of healing. Inspired by the best spas in Asia, its clinics provide a luxurious yet welcoming environment where clients can unwind and escape modern life’s stresses.

“We take aspects from both Eastern practices and more mundane Western medicine. You get the spiritual and science-backed physical benefits – all in one room, too,” says Aly-Khan Thobani, founder of Spa & Massage. With state-of-the-art facilities and a team of experienced health professionals, Spa & Massage delivers results that keep clients returning.

The Science of Massage as a Treatment​

More than pampering, people attribute the popularity of spas and massages to the proven health benefits of massage therapy. Research has shown that regular massages can effectively alleviate various types of pain, including chronic pain, muscle soreness, and joint pain. Massage also promotes relaxation, reduces stress levels, and enhances overall well-being.

Founder Aly-Khan Thobani is adamant about maintaining a science-backed method of massage treatment: “We’ve moved massage therapy away from being just a luxury and brought it into the mainstream as part of a healthy lifestyle. Our treatments are backed by medical professionals, positioning massage as a science-based health solution.“

Accessibility and Convenience​

With locations across London numbering near the double-digits, Spa & Massage has made expert massage therapy accessible and convenient for Londoners. The company performs an astounding 1,500 weekly massages, statistical proof of the high demand for its services.

Thobani attributes this success to the company’s focus on quality and affordability: “We’re building a chain of massage therapy clinics in London and beyond. We want to be known as the go-to place for massages in London – affordable yet best in class. There’s no reason people shouldn’t have access to good, high-quality massage therapy.“

A Leader in the UK Massage Market​

Spa & Massage’s presence can be noticed even beyond its London clinics. As one of the largest and most established massage providers in the U.K., the company’s every move can create noticeable ripples.

The U.K. massage market has seen steady growth in recent years, driven by increasing awareness of massage’s health benefits and a growing focus on wellness and self-care. A GlobalData report states that the U.K. spa market, including massage services, generated total revenues of $3,776.1 million in 2024. This represents a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7% between 2017 and 2024.

With its popularity already quite significant, Spa & Massage continues to hold a major share of this market, catering to a broad swathe of London’s residents. Performing 1,500 massages a week and growing, Spa & Massage is delivering on its promise of providing quality massage therapy in the U.K.
