Visited after a few days of walking around on vacation with my boyfriend and we both had back pain. He has chronic lower back pain and by the end of the 30 minute massage he said he was "walking on a cloud". For me - I just had a knot that needed to be kneaded and they took care of it in the 20 minute option. There is no appointment just walk in only, we didn't have to wait long maybe 15 minutes. They also have 10 minute options and up to an hour. They also do foot massages other than back. I will be coming back whenever I can! read more

Tucked away on a little pedestrian lane just off Goodge Street, Walk In Backrub is just that: a little shop where you can walk in and get a good, welcome backrub. The front area has loads of massage items from small to large, cheap to costly. It also has, a bit curiously, yoga mats and mat bags for sale. I waited two minutes before being led to a massage chair and explained I've been having a lot of problems in my right shoulder and neck and general tension in my shoulders. The massage therapist definitely worked on these areas competently. Having expressed specific concern about these areas, I didn't receive any wussy relaxation massage, which I appreciated. I only paid for ten minutes because I'm cheap, so now eight hours later the pain in my shoulder doesn't feel much different. The fact that the prices for services from 30 to 60 minutes here are comparable to those at salons/spas with more private and calming atmospheres wouldn't make me eager to return for a more lengthy service. That is, unless I get a hankering for a ten-minute rub on a whim. Plus, ten whimsical ten-minute backrubs will get you one free. Bonus points to Walk In Backrub for the loyalty card. read more

Have 20-30 minutes during your workday for a break? Need a quick massage to loosen your muscles? If you sit at a computer all day and can squeeze this into your schedule, I'd highly recommend a visit here. You'll likely have to wait in bit if you come during the lunch hour, but it shouldn't take long. They have plenty of chairs and employees, so it'll go by quickly. Be sure to let them know what area you'd like them to focus on, otherwise they will do the typical routine. What to expect: 1. Walk in 2. Check in 3. Follow someone to an open chair. 4. Relax 5. Pay - they take credit cards read more

I love this place! The masseuses are fantastic. They are very good about asking of your conditions or trouble spots first, and then following through to focus (or not focus) on those areas. I like that they have timers on the wall so the massage time is very clear, and there are individual hooks for your items directly in front of your chair, The wait is also rarely bad. I work in the area, and have never waited more than 20 minutes. Tip: they have a card where if you have 9 massages, you get a 10 minute massage free. read more

The concept is simple, no appointment necessary, just walk in and enjoy for a reasonable price a massage that can be a shiatsu or a chair massage. I recommend the 30 Minute ultimate de-stress backrub at £27.00 it's the best value for your money. The masseurs are absolute professionals that will make sure that your time there is absolute bliss and a time of relaxation. The Neal's Yard shop is quite busy, that's why I really like the one on Goodge Street, and it's closer to me. Its one of those experiences that you have to try. There is no need to make big plan, just pop in and enjoy. read more

Walk In Backrub - Massage Near Me - London, XGL

I absolutely love massages. Yes, I don't know many people who don't. Due to the fact that I'm a struggling writer in London, I can't usually afford a full hour massage at a day spa. So my indulgence is occasionally popping into Chinese Medical centres and getting a £10, 10 minute massage. So I was delighted to discover 'Walk-In Backrub', a place that did just what it said on the packet. I walked in, and they gave me a backrub. And it was a damn good, reasonably priced backrub. Twenty minutes of pure bliss, and affordable enough to indulge in rather regularly. I'll definitely be heading back for more. read more

In the category of "affordable luxury," here's a new concept. A spur-of-the-moment massage can be a life-saver when you're suffering from too much work, stress, or sight-seeing. We noticed this serene little storefront tucked away in a residential neighborhood. Some massage-related items are for sale near the front, but there's really nothing else here but a few massage chairs (the kind you kneel forward on) and some New Age-y music. Milan, the massage therapist (his background is in shiatsu), was pleasant and skilled. He asked if we wanted him to focus on a specific area: I had some lower-back tightness, and one daughter had a knot in her upper back. My other daughter wanted something more general, so Milan worked on her back, arms, hands, and (surprisingly) scalp! Everyone left feeling relaxed and refreshed. This is very different from a conventional massage. You can pay more for a longer massage, but the goal here is not a therapeutic treatment. If you have medical issues or real pain, look elsewhere. If you need a quick indulgence, though, this is a keeper. read more

This place is amazing!!! Being a photographer, years of carryring heavy equipment have left me suffering from chronic muscle pains. I discovered Walk In Backrub by chance and have been going there for the last two years. I started off with 10 minute sessions but soon discovered that the benefit is greater the longer the sessions. I now go once or twice a week for 20 minutes and I have found great relief from the muscle stiffness and pains through the massages. The masseurs know exactly what they are doing and will find your problem areas even if you don't point them out. They gave me useful tips on other things I could do to prevent the pain from recurring. They are very lovely people and they will really make this a relaxing & peaceful experience for you. Just try it out and enjoy. read more
