The Massage Guy™ – Cape Town travels out to Hotels and Homes within a 30km radius of the Cape Town City Centre. Most areas within this radius are covered but certain high risk areas are not. Call directly to find out if your area is covered.

That’s easy, give me a call and let’s discuss your massage needs, which massage styles appeal to you and what’s going on in your body at that point in time. I will gladly suggest massage style combinations to best address your requirements.

It’s quite common for clients to have a bit of analysis paralysis when reading through my massage menu as there are so many amazing massage options to choose from, each with its own benefits. The beauty of these massages is that they are individually customized to meet each woman’s specific massage needs and more often than not, you will find that massage styles are combined in order to address different issues detected in the body as the massage progresses.

This is the advantage of having a therapist working on your body intuitively and not following standard, almost robotic massage routines in a very limited time frame. You really do get a very personalized massage treatment that is adapted just for you.

Quick Answer: No

The Reason: I personally find it disingenuous & lazy for professionally trained massage therapists to claim they are offering complete full-body massages for women when their sessions usually only last 60 or 90mins. This happens to be the norm at most massage studios & SPAs, both in South Africa & in most countries around the world, so much so that clients who don’t know any better because they haven’t had any better, are under the impression that they have had a thorough full body massage.  C’mon, are you kidding me? These places operate like a machine line in a factory, getting you in and out within a limited time frame where every minute is carefully monitored and then move on to process the next waiting body in order to keep the machine line going.

You don’t realize just how standard & generic the vast majority of these massages are. You don’t realize just how much you have been cheated. A 60min massage is barely enough time to give all your problem areas adequate attention. A 90min massage allows for more time to be spent working through those problem areas but it’s still not balanced enough because certain areas get more attention than others, so your treatment is not quite complete and before you know it, your massage is over.

There is a small minority of massage therapists who do actually take the time to do a 2hr massage, therapists who care enough about their client’s needs to carefully work through all the muscle groups in enough detail to adequately release and relieve the pain and tension detected without fixating on the clock or counting massage strokes in their heads. 2hrs is the bare minimum duration any professional massage therapist should be aiming for. The Massage Guy™ – Cape Town starts where other therapists have already ended and he doesn’t stop there, treatments can go up to a maximum of 5hrs. An absolute heavenly treat for any woman who truly loves massage.

Long story short, The Massage Guy™ – Cape Town makes use of his years of extensive massage education, with a large focus on human anatomy & physiology, and advanced massage skills to provide clients with incredibly detailed, intuitive massages in an unrushed manner. Each woman is treated as an individual and each massage is adapted to those individual massage needs. Multiple massage styles are combined, according to the duration of the treatment being booked. None of this can be adequately achieved in a rushed massage shorter than 2hrs.

A professional massage, performed by a skilled therapist, should release & relieve pain & discomfort and not cause it. The reason why some conventional massages leave you feeling sore & stiff afterwards is because the therapist worked too deeply and aggressively into your muscles & in doing so, caused further pain & discomfort.

Lack of adequate skill and limited level of training in a wide variety of massage styles can often make therapists adopt the harder is better approach when trying to deal with problem areas within a short time frame. Remember, massage does not have to be forceful & hurt you in order to be effective. Skill trumps brute force.

The Massage Guy™ – Cape Town will carefully assess the condition of your muscles as he works along your body & will adjust the pressure to a manageable level that not only eases your tension but makes you feel good as well. After all, that is one of the main purposes of a massage.

Another reason why your massage with The Massage Guy™ – Cape Town will not hurt is due to the longer durations of his treatments. This allows for more repetition of the massage strokes, using variable degrees of pressure, along with a combination of different massage styles to achieve the best possible results from your treatment. Not too forceful, not too light, just the right amount of pressure…this is sign of experience, skill & intuition.

It is important that you let your therapist know if you have any medical issues or if you are pregnant. Massage during the 1st trimester is contraindicated. Medical conditions would include things like recent surgery, recent injuries, heart disease, skin disorders, open cuts or wounds, any type of infectious disease or even if you have fever, colds or the flu.

Please also inform your therapist if you are under the influence of drugs or alcohol as massage is contraindicated in those instances.

Simply call me on +27 83 790 1909 to discuss your specific massage requirements and indicate your preferred booking date & time. International clients may call the same number via WhatsApp if that’s easier for you.

Based on the information you supply me with regards to your physical condition, stress levels & massage preferences, I will recommend the most suitable combination of massage styles to address those needs & give you an opportunity to ask any follow up questions or supply me with any relevant medical information which could impact your treatment.

Once a date & time for your booking is confirmed as available, I will then send you the relevant payment details in order for you to do payment to reserve your slot & commit to your booking and my time. You are required to complete and send me the payment confirmation via email or sms payment notification within 4hrs of payment details being sent to you. Once I have received the proof of payment, I will then send you a text or email to confirm that your booking has been finalized. Should payment confirmation not be received within 4hrs of you receiving payment details from me, the slot will be reopened so that other clients have the opportunity to book it. South African clients may pay via EFT or through a credit card payment link, while International clients may pay via the credit card payment link which will be sent via email. Please note that a 5% processing fee applies to all credit card transactions.

Once your booking has been finalized, all that remains is for you to supply me with your address where the treatment will take place. Clients staying at Hotels will also need to supply their room numbers upon check-in.

All that remains thereafter is for you to be ready for my arrival at least 10-15mins before the scheduled booking time.

It’s best to book as early in advance as possible. All bookings are subject to availability on your preferred date & time and slots are allocated on a 1st paid 1st reserved basis. It is not uncommon for women to book weeks & months in advance, especially if they are coming to Cape Town from other countries. Same day bookings are sometimes possible with the same policy of 1st paid 1st reserved being applied.

It’s understandable that some clients may do this as a spur-of-the-moment, spontaneous thing, so if I am able to fit in your booking request at that time, I will certainly do my best to assist you. If this is you & your booking request is quite last minute, it’s best to call directly to book. Please leave a voice message or send an SMS or WhatsApp text if your call is not answered. Phones are switched off or turned to silent during active treatments so cannot be answered in those moments.

 As is the case at most SPAs/massage studios worldwide, all massage treatments are conducted on a 1on1 basis. No 3rd party individual (be it a husband, boyfriend, girlfriend, sister, etc) is allowed to be present in the treatment room during an active session, except in the case of a treatment being done on a minor female(below 18yrs of age) where a female parent/guardian is legally required to be present.

A treatment area is a sacred space where both the giver & receiver are required to be physically, mentally & energetically present & focused on the massage completely. This is not possible with the energy of a 3rd person infringing upon that sacred space.

By booking a session with The Massage Guy™ – Cape Town you are confirming that you are aware that you are booking the services of a professional Male Massage Therapist. The clue is in the name itself so no claims of not knowing are going to be entertained. If this goes against your religious beliefs for any reason, it is your duty & responsibility to make the therapist aware of this beforehand.
