Massage is the treatment on almost every spa and wellness centre menu, and the one most people book first. Centres usually offer a short list of core styles — Swedish for relaxation, deep tissue for chronic tightness, sports massage for training-related aches, hot stone and aromatherapy for something more indulgent — alongside a signature treatment that combines several techniques with the spa's own oils.
Booking through a centre rather than an individual means fixed opening hours, a reception, changing rooms and, often, use of the heat facilities before or after. Many centres let you state a preference for pressure and for a male or female practitioner when you book, and couples rooms allow two people to be treated side by side.
Sessions are typically 30, 60 or 90 minutes. An hour costs roughly £50 to £80 at a wellness centre outside London, £70 to £120 in a London or hotel spa. Massage is not advised over areas of recent injury, inflammation or broken skin, or during a fever, and pregnant clients should book a pregnancy massage specifically.

New Town holds the established day spas and the Georgian-terrace clinics, where facials, acupuncture and reflexology are booked by people who have been going to the same practitioner for years. The Old Town's hotels have the city's largest thermal suites, used mainly by visitors. Leith and the waterfront have the newer arrivals: social saunas facing the Firth of Forth, cold-water dipping groups and yoga studios in converted warehouses.
