Mobile massage to the office or home: a skill clients didn't know they needed
People can't find time to visit a massage studio. A certified therapist comes to them โ at their desk or their door.
Mobile massage is a model in which a certified therapist travels directly to the customer โ at their office, home or business premises. The operator needs a valid sole trader registration with HMRC, appropriate professional qualifications, a portable massage table, hygiene supplies and reliable transport. Revenue comes from individual sessions, while corporate clients offer higher order volumes in a single booking. The main challenges are building a client base in the first few months, the physical demands of the work, and meeting regulatory requirements before trading begins.
Booking a salon means travel, waiting rooms and fixed appointment slots that busy professionals struggle to fit in. The result is predictable: the massage keeps getting pushed back, even when the need is very real.
๐The wellness market is growing consistently
The UK wellness sector has expanded year-on-year, with mobile and corporate massage among the fastest-growing segments. Employer spending on staff wellbeing benefits has risen sharply since 2022, and the trend shows no sign of reversing.
