Hi everyone,
I’ve got a slightly awkward question. I’ve been thinking about booking a massage in Cambridge as a gift for my partner. They’ve been under a lot of stress lately and often complain of backache, so I thought it could be a thoughtful surprise. The problem is, I have no idea what type of massage to book, and I don’t want to choose something that ends up being uncomfortable or unsuitable.

When I check websites, there are so many options – Swedish massage, hot stone therapy, deep tissue, sports massage, and even Thai massage. I want it to feel special and relaxing, but also safe and professional. How do you decide which type of massage is best for someone who has never had one before?

Also, does anyone know whether places offering massage in Cambridge sell vouchers? I think that might be the best solution, as then my partner could choose the treatment themselves. I just want to make sure that the place I pick has a good reputation and that it won’t feel awkward or impersonal.

If anyone has recommendations for trusted massage studios in Cambridge that are good for first-timers, I’d be really grateful.
