If you are choosing an oil massage in Blackpool, the names can sound very similar. Full body oil massage and hot oil massage both use oil for flowing movements across the skin. The main difference at LadyBobb is the warmth of the oil. Your preferred pressure, the time you have available and how you like a massage to feel are useful starting points when deciding.
What is full body oil massage?
LadyBobb’s full body oil massage uses smooth, flowing movements, with pressure adjusted to your preference. You can ask for a gentle session or firmer work. “Oil massage” does not mean that every appointment follows exactly the same pressure or pace: tell your therapist what you enjoy and which areas you would like them to focus on.
It can be a straightforward choice if you like the feel of an oil-based treatment and do not specifically want warmed oil. You can read more in our oil and hot oil massage guide.
What is different about hot oil massage?
Hot oil massage uses warmed oil for a soothing experience. The name describes the oil, rather than a promise of stronger pressure. If you enjoy warmth, that may be the deciding factor for you. Temperature is a personal preference, so speak to your therapist before the treatment and say straight away if anything feels too warm.
You do not have to choose hot oil to request firmer pressure, and you do not have to choose regular oil to keep things gentle. Discuss the warmth and pressure separately so your therapist understands both preferences.
Which length of appointment should I choose?
Think about how much time you would like to set aside and what you want the session to focus on. A shorter appointment leaves less time to cover different areas, so agree your priorities at the start. A longer appointment gives more time for a less hurried session and your chosen focus areas.
At the time of writing, both treatments are listed at £30 for 30 minutes, £50 for 60 minutes and £75 for 90 minutes. Full body oil massage also has a two-hour option at £95. Check our treatments and prices and Fresha for current options and availability before booking.
What should I tell the therapist?
A few simple details help: whether you like gentle, medium or firmer pressure; whether warmed oil appeals to you; and any areas you would prefer the therapist to avoid. Mention any allergies or sensitivities and ask about the oil used if you are unsure. You can change your mind about the pressure during the appointment.
You should not feel obliged to put up with discomfort. Our Journal guide, does a massage need to hurt to work?, explains how to talk about pressure. For practical information before your appointment, see our frequently asked questions.
