Thai massage, oil massage and relaxing massage are all available with Sophie in London E1. Rather than choosing the option that sounds strongest or most familiar, start with the experience you want and ask how the treatment will be delivered.
Three descriptions, different starting points
Thai massage is generally associated with applied pressure and stretching. Oil massage uses oil with flowing massage movements. Relaxing massage puts the emphasis on an unhurried experience. These are broad descriptions; the details of your session should be agreed when you book.
| Option | Starting point | Ask before booking |
|---|---|---|
| Relaxing massage | A session centred on relaxation | What pace, pressure and techniques would be used? |
| Thai massage | Pressure and stretching | What stretches are involved, and what should I wear? |
| Oil massage | Flowing movements using oil | Which oil is used, and what preparation is needed? |
| Foot massage | A session focused on the feet | What does the session cover, and how long is it? |
Start with your preferences, not the name
If quiet time is your priority, explain that you are looking for a relaxing appointment. If you are interested in stretching, ask about Thai massage. If you like the idea of flowing movements with oil, enquire about oil massage. These questions help you understand the options; they do not replace a discussion about what is suitable for you.
Pressure is a separate question. Do not assume that an oil massage must be light, or that choosing Thai massage means you have to accept a level of pressure you find uncomfortable. Discuss your preferences before the session and speak up if you want an adjustment.
Check clothing, products and session length
Ask what to wear and what preparation is needed for the specific treatment you select. If oil is involved, mention any sensitivities and ask what products will be used. If you only have a limited amount of time, confirm the session length before committing to an appointment.

Compare the actual quote
Massages with Sophie start from £20, but the final price depends on your treatment and session length. Ask for the price of the specific option you want rather than assuming the starting price covers every service.
