Dubai · Therapeutic massage at home
Therapeutic massage in Dubai: one problem, found and worked, at your home.
A therapeutic massage starts with what hurts, not with a routine. The therapist finds where the tension really sits in your back, neck, shoulders, hips or legs, then works that area with the technique it needs. We bring it 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.
It is massage with a goal. It is not physiotherapy, and we say where the line is.

What it is
What makes a massage therapeutic.
Most massages follow a sequence: back, legs, arms, neck. A therapeutic massage does not. It is built around one goal, such as a stiff lower back, a shoulder that will not settle, or tight hips after a training block.
Assessment. The therapist asks where it hurts, what makes it worse and how long it has been there. She presses along the area to find the spots that are tight or tender, and checks how far you can move.
Focused work. Then she uses whatever the problem needs. That might be slow deep tissue strokes, trigger point pressure held on one knot, stretching, or firm work across the muscle. Most of the session stays on the area that matters.
Feedback. She tells you what she found and how it responded. If something does not feel like a muscle problem, she says so.
Pressure is usually firm, but it is set to you. Good pressure can be strong. It should never be sharp.

Where the line is
Massage, not physiotherapy.
We are massage therapists. We work on muscles and soft tissue. That is a lot, but it is not everything.
What we do not do. We do not diagnose, treat injuries, manipulate joints or bill insurance. Some clinics in Dubai call this “medical massage” and work under a doctor or physiotherapist. We are not that.
When to see a doctor or physio first.
- Pain that runs down an arm or a leg, numbness or tingling.
- Pain after a fall, an accident or a sudden injury.
- Pain at night that does not ease, or with fever or weight loss.
- A diagnosed disc, joint or nerve problem. Book only with your physio’s OK.
When a massage is the right call. Muscle tension and stiffness from desk work, training, travel or stress. That is most of what people feel, and it responds well.
Therapeutic massage price

How the session runs
How the session runs.
Describe the problem
On WhatsApp: where it hurts, for how long, what makes it worse, plus the time and your building. We match the therapist.
She arrives in 20–30 minutes
Table, linen, towels and oil. Setup takes about ten minutes.
Five minutes of assessment
Questions, then pressing along the area to find the tight spots. She agrees the pressure with you.
Focused work, then feedback
Most of the session on the problem. Afterwards she tells you what she found. Drink water; some tenderness the next day is normal.
Good to know
Before you book.
Pressure
Firm is normal. Strong is fine; sharp is not. Say lighter at any time.
Pregnancy
Book prenatal massage instead.
Blood thinners
Tell us. Firm pressure can bruise.
Recent injury
A new sprain, fall or swelling needs a doctor first.
After the session
Some tenderness for a day is normal after firm work. Keep moving gently.
Covered throughout
Underwear stays on and you stay covered. Only the area being worked on is uncovered.
Good to know
Therapeutic massage Dubai: your questions.
What is therapeutic massage?
Massage built around one goal, such as easing a stiff back or tight hips. The therapist assesses the area first, then uses the techniques it needs, rather than following a fixed routine.
How is it different from deep tissue?
Deep tissue is one technique: slow, firm pressure into deeper layers. A therapeutic massage may use deep tissue, but also trigger point work and stretching, chosen for your problem.
Is it the same as physiotherapy?
No. Physiotherapists diagnose and treat injuries. We are massage therapists working on muscle tension and stiffness. For an injury, see a physio first.
Is it painful?
It is firm and some spots feel tender. It should never be sharp. Ask for lighter at any time.
How many sessions do I need?
For everyday tension, one session often makes a clear difference. For a problem that keeps coming back, every two to four weeks keeps it manageable. We do not sell packages.
How much is a therapeutic 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 I claim it on insurance?
No. We do not bill insurance. Clinic massage prescribed by a doctor may be covered; check with your insurer.
Which therapist should I book?
Tell us the problem and we suggest one. Maria and Jasmine for deep tissue, Fayal for training recovery, Nene for stiffness and mobility.
Can you come to my hotel?
Yes. We visit hotels across Dubai Marina, JBR, Bluewaters, Emaar Beachfront and Palm Jumeirah. Share the hotel and room number when you book.
Can I book at night?
Yes. We are open 24 hours, every day, at the same price.
Ready when you are
Tell us what hurts. We will bring the right hands.
