Dubai · Back massage at home
Back massage in Dubai, at home: neck to hips, one focused hour.
A back massage with us is a full hour on the part of you that does the most work: neck, shoulders, the band between the shoulder blades, the lower back and the hips that pull on it. A therapist brings the table, linen and oil to your apartment, hotel or villa in Dubai Marina, JBR, Bluewaters, Emaar Beachfront or Palm Jumeirah. 60, 90 or 120 minutes, AED 400 excluding VAT.
Tell us where it hurts and how firm you like it. The session is built around that, not around a routine.

What it covers
A back massage is three areas, not one.
Most places sell “back massage” as thirty minutes on the shoulders. That leaves out the two areas that cause most of the trouble.
Upper back, neck and shoulders. The trapezius, the muscles at the base of the skull and the top of the shoulder blades. This is where screen time and stress collect. Slow kneading and pressure along the top of the shoulders usually does the most here.
Middle back. The band between the shoulder blades. It tightens when you hunch over a laptop and it is hard to reach yourself. Long strokes either side of the spine, then focused pressure on the knots.
Lower back and hips. The lumbar muscles, plus the glutes and the outside of the hips. A tight lower back is often being pulled by the hips, so a proper lower back massage always includes them. Underwear stays on and you stay covered by a towel.
In 60 minutes the therapist covers all three and spends longest where you told her it hurts. In 90 minutes she adds the backs of the legs: tight hamstrings pull on the lower back, and releasing them often helps more than another ten minutes on the spine.

The Dubai back
Why Dubai backs get tight.
The causes we hear most are ordinary, and that is the good news. Ordinary tightness responds well to massage.
The laptop on the sofa. Head forward, shoulders round, for hours. The upper and middle back carry the weight.
Cold air all day. Ten hours at 21 degrees and the shoulders creep up towards the ears without you noticing.
Driving. Sheikh Zayed Road twice a day, one hand on the wheel, the lower back in a bucket seat.
Flights. A long-haul flight followed by a hotel bed that is not yours. Hotel guests are a large share of our back bookings.
The gym. A heavy deadlift or squat block, or a new padel habit, loads the lower back and hips.
A massage does not fix your chair or your posture. It does release the tension those habits build up, and it makes it easier to move the way you are supposed to.
Back massage Dubai price
One price, no 30-minute trap.
Spa and home back massage in Dubai runs from about AED 95 for 30 minutes to AED 470 for an hour. We do not sell 30 minutes. On a properly tight back, half an hour is the warm-up: the therapist finds the problem and the session ends. Our shortest session is 60 minutes, at the same price as every other treatment.

How the session runs
From your message to a looser back.
Tell us where it hurts
On WhatsApp: the area, how long it has been tight, the pressure you like and your building. We pick the right therapist.
She arrives in 20–30 minutes
Plain professional attire, table, linen, towels and oil. Setup takes ten minutes in two square metres of floor.
Five minutes of checking
She presses along the spine, shoulders and hips to find where the tension sits, then confirms the pressure. Say firmer or lighter at any point.
The work, then rest
Most of the hour goes where you need it. Afterwards drink water, stay warm and keep moving gently. Mild tenderness the next day after firm work is normal.
Who performs it
Four therapists your back will like.
Every therapist on the team does back work. These four are the ones clients request for it. All are DHA-registered, licence-checked and insured, and you can ask for anyone by name at no extra cost.
Honest limits
When massage is the wrong answer.
Pain down a leg, or numbness
That can be a nerve. See a doctor or physiotherapist first.
After a fall or sudden injury
Get it checked first. Massage comes later, if at all.
Fever or pain at night
Pain that does not ease at night, with fever or weight loss, is for a doctor.
A diagnosed disc problem
Book only with your physio’s OK and tell us. The therapist works around the area.
Pregnancy
Book a prenatal massage instead: side-lying and fully supported.
Sharp pain during the session
Say so at once. Good pressure can be strong, but never sharp.
Good to know
Back massage Dubai: your questions.
Is a massage a good idea for back pain?
For ordinary muscle tightness from sitting, driving, training or stress, yes. Massage eases tension and helps you move more freely. If the pain runs down a leg, comes with numbness, or follows a fall, see a doctor first.
What type of massage is best for a bad back?
For stubborn knots and long-standing tightness, deep tissue. For a back sore from training, sports massage. For a tired, stressed back, Swedish or hot stone. If you are not sure, tell us what you feel and we will suggest one.
Do you offer a 30-minute back massage?
No. Our shortest session is 60 minutes, because 30 minutes on a tight back is only the warm-up. A 60-minute back session covers the neck, shoulders, whole back and hips.
Can I book a back-only session?
Yes. Ask for a back-focused hour and the therapist spends the whole session on the neck, shoulders, back and hips. Same price as any 60-minute treatment.
Does a lower back massage include the hips and glutes?
Yes, if you are comfortable with it. Tight hips and glutes pull on the lower back, so working them is part of a proper lower back massage. You stay covered and underwear stays on.
Will a deep tissue back massage hurt?
It should feel strong, not sharp. The therapist checks the pressure in the first minutes and you can ask for lighter at any time. Some tenderness the next day is normal after firm work.
How often should I book?
For a back that tightens every week from desk work or training, every two to four weeks keeps it manageable. After one bad week, a single session is often enough.
How much is a back massage in Dubai?
AED 400 for 60 minutes excluding VAT, AED 420 including it. 90 minutes is AED 550 and 120 minutes AED 680. Travel, table, linen and oil are included.
Can you come to my hotel?
Yes. We visit hotels across Dubai Marina, JBR, Bluewaters, Emaar Beachfront and Palm Jumeirah, and further afield at the same price. Give us the hotel name and room number when you book.
Can I book at night?
Yes. We are open 24 hours, every day, and the price is the same at 2am as at 2pm.
