Jo-Anne Livingston
Massage client
“As someone who has enjoyed a variation of massages throughout Glasgow, I consider this to be the best massage treatment I’ve ever had. You will not want for more pressure, she gets right in there! 100% recommended and will be back.”
Kim
Massage client
“Honestly one of the best massages I’ve ever had. I work in a similar industry , so Ive had my fair share of massages over the years. I have a bad whiplash injury from 7 months ago , that is causing me no end of bother, and this massage has been amazing.”
Laura
Massage client
Today I had a very wonderful massage (deep tissue massage), I feel so fresh and my muscles are alive! The service is great. The place is beautiful and calm. The general atmosphere is comfortable and warm. I will definitely come back to this place again, and I definitely recommend it very much. Thank you. You are a nice and wonderful team
Sarah
Massage client
I really enjoyed my experience at Deserved Massage. The whole process was very professional and smooth from booking to what to do upon arrival. I liked just going in and waiting without any fuss. I had a Deep Tissue Massage from Wendy and it was brilliant. I feel it helped a lot with my shoulder tension. Would absolutely recommend.
Rachel
Massage client
I showed up booked in for an Indian Head Massage, but after explaining my reasons why (hyper - mobile, lots of tension, etc) she said I'd probably be better off with a neck, shoulders and back massage instead and she knew exactly every part of them that were bothering and needing focused on without any guidance. Very, very good. Will definitely be back.
Jonny
Massage client
Had my treatment from the lovely Wendy and words cannot begin to describe the feeling. I'm pretty sure the ancestors knots were taken care of during that deep tissue massage. She took time out to listen to what my concerns were, took care of them and then took time after to give some after care. Naturally a revisit is in order and will be done for sure. I had the best night's sleep after.
Harmony
Massage client
I had my first massage here today with Wendy. It was a deep tissue massage that lasted 45 minutes. Great value for money and a very satisfying massage, exactly what I needed! Would highly recommend.
Barry
Massage client
Abbi was on point with today's session - it was clear she understood my body she seen signs of stress in me and knew there were areas on my shoulders and lower back needing further relief; I booked a 45-minute Swed. massage and really enjoyed the experience - Abbi focused to relieve areas most tense, I felt relaxed during the massage and I'd like to continue treatment with her.
Alastair
Massage client
First time getting the sports massage. Feel much better especially in my shoulder area and my lower back pain hasn't bothered me since, can now focus on the gym properly again. Big thanks to Wendy for making it a good experience.
Jamie
Massage client
It was my first day in Glasgow after a very long flight. Wendy was terrific! I feel so much better. If my itinerary allows, I would love to come back! Thank you so much Wendy!!!
Rita
Massage client
First time having a deep tissue massage at Deserved Massage . Abbi was very professional, friendly and knowledgeable making me feel at ease during the process. Felt great afterwards and I will definitely be going back here.
Callum
Massage client
Genuinely excellent pregnancy massage! Feel relaxed and my back and neck feel great. Cannot recommend enough.
Olivia
Massage client
Abbi was wonderful she knew what I needed and had a very nice flow along with just the right amount of pressure! I would highly recommend her.
Lisa
Massage client
I booked a 90 minute Sports/Tissue massage with Abbi for my mum on her birthday and it was the best massage she has ever experienced. She left feeling amazing and told me how Abbi was so knowledgeable about muscles and knew exactly what to do for her soar muscles. I'm over the moon with how well she took care of my mum and we will be returning.
Yvanna
Massage client
A wonderful experience and quite simply the best sports massage I have had in years! I’m a musician, and had requested Abbi focus on my upper back, neck, and shoulders where I hold a lot of tension. By the end of the session, so much of the tension in my neck, shoulders and arms had been released and I felt more flexible, open and rejuvenated, Abi then took time to talk about ways in which I could improve my overall posture and shared some really useful exercises that could help open up my chest area and strengthen my back muscles. I can highly recommend and will definitely be returning. Thank you Abi!
Andrea

“Best sports massage I’ve ever had! Tailored to your needs and made me feel comfortable throughout”
Nicola Gallacher
Massage client
“Doing a year on tour in a job that requires a massage once a week for maintenance- this is the best deep tissue massage I’ve ever had…. hands down…. the best so far out of about 50 plus different people in all parts of UK…. this place comes 1st! You must go!”
Tom Chambers
Massage client
“One of the best massages I have ever had! Lovely atmosphere. Worked on all the problems I have been having with my shoulders. Highly recommend.”
Adam Kashmiry
Massage client
“Was very pleased with the massage I received. I’d been having a bit of pain and tightness in my right shoulder. Everything was explained very clearly beforehand and I’m very happy to say my shoulder is feeling much better now!“
Hamish
Massage client
Just had my first massage here today and it was the best massage I’ve had in a very long time. I get a massage every 4 weeks and have done for a lot of years. I always come away still not feeling like all my knots are out. But today I actually feel like all my knots have gone. I also love that they’re opened on a Sunday.
Claire
Massage client
I had an excellent and extremely helpful experience at Deserved Massage. My shoulder had been giving me problems from extreme hours at work and after doing some research on Google and reading reviews I decided to try this place.
Gillian
Massage client
Abbi is a wonderful therapist. She took time at the start to really understand the issues I was having and focused deep tissue massage on where it would help me the most. Great aftercare and follow up advice too. Looking forward to regular massage with Abbi to keep me mobile and manage stress.
Gillian
Massage client
I had a great Deep Tissue Massage with Jeannie. She listened attentively and dealt with your needs. She also helped in identifying areas where I need further treatment with different health professionals. She was perfect and the environs were superb. Thank you.
Stevie
Massage client
First time ever having a sports massage - Jeannie was really friendly and explained the process clearly. Great massage and lovely environment. Highly recommend if you sit at a desk all day!
Cat
Massage client
The Sports/deep tissue massage was exactly what I needed as I had knots and pain in my back and shoulders. I’m a CrossFit athlete so it’s really important to recover well from the intense exercise. Thank you Wendy for an amazing massage!
Myrm
Massage client
I had the 45 minute deep tissue treatment with Wendy and it was yhe best massage i’ve received. My neck back and shoulders are prone to tightness and spasm due yo my work and the relief Wendy provided was wonderful. Perfect pressure, de-knotted. Excellent service!
Russell
Massage client
Wendy was superb! I was nervous about my pregnancy massage being 38 weeks pregnant but she put me at ease and did a wonderful job to relax me. Just what I need as I go closer to my due date.
Tarandeep
Massage client
I had been dealing with a pinched nerve and pain in my left shoulder and right hip for almost a year. One 45 minute session at Deserved Massage and the pain and tightness has all but gone I would definitely recommend.
Stephen
Massage client
Excellent deep tissue massage. Wendy listened to exactly where I was feeling tight, and then spent time chasing down all the knots she found. I'll definitely be back.
Liam
Massage client
Very happy with massage. It's difficult to find a good masseuse but Jeannie was one of the best.
Dawn
Massage client
Highly recommend Deserved Massage. Wendy gave me a sports massage and was very informative about the injury I have. I will definitely be going back soon. Cant recommend her highly enough.
Liz
Massage client
Got this voucher for my birthday and it was the best massage I've ever had. Got the Swedish Massage and it was relaxing but firm enough to actually make a difference (not just someone rubbing oil on you). Will book in again when I'm in Glasgow! Thanks Wendy!
Sophia
Massage client
Relaxing but healing massage. Focused on injured and tense regions for a more personalised massage and good advice for methods of tension release. Overall very pleasant experience! Would highly recommend for all.

Got Questions?
Here's a quick FAQ for anyone new to massage therapy
It really depends on which type of massage treatment you book. If you’re in for any kind of relaxation based treatment then you will have no pain at all.
However, if you’re booked in for a deep-tissue massage or a sports session then the focus of the session will be to break down knots and nodules which can be a little uncomfortable.
Unfortunately, it’s hard to avoid pain when it comes to stubborn muscle tension. With that in mind, our experienced massage therapists will do everything they can to help you feel at ease.
Sometimes, people get confused about what to wear before a massage treatment, what they should bring along with them and even how they should be covered up during. And, as a result of this confusion, many people put off getting a treatment because they don’t want to feel any kind of discomfort. Rest assured though, it’s much simpler than you think!
All you need to bring along is yourself in comfortable clothing. That’s it! When you’re receiving your treatment, you just keep your pants on and cover yourself with the towels provided and you’ll be all set.
Most clients book in for a 60-minute massage treatment, but just because that’s the most popular doesn’t mean it’s the best option for you. Here’s a couple of things you might want to consider:
Relaxation vs Pain Relief - some people like to lie and be pampered for 90 minutes with an aromatherapy massage - helping them to let go of any stress. However, if you just have a very specific sore point that needs released, then a 30-minute sports massage may be all you need.
Your Schedule - if you’re a busy bee, juggling studies, work or kids then it’s not always easy to fit 90-minutes into your week so you may opt for a shorter session. Alternatively though, perhaps you’ve got a week off from the chaos you’ve found some time - maybe a longer session will be just the ticket for you?!
Budget - although all our treatments have been priced for people to afford them, we understand that you may not have the money for a longer session. In which case, you can choose a shorter treatment and still get some of the benefit.
We recommend that you avoid holding out and buying one longer session, but opt in for more shorter treatments so that you don’t build up tension over time.
Some clients love to chat during their treatment. Others would rather lie down and just listen to music. There is no right or wrong answer.
Our therapists will gauge how you’re feeling and adjust how much they talk to you accordingly.
Yes! You’ll still receive the benefits from your massage treatment even though you are asleep.
Sorry, we do not offer walk-in appointments. If you are interested in booking a massage session, click here.
Right away! Although each type of massage treatment gives different results, we are confident that you will get results right away after your treatment has finished whether that is in the form of relaxation or pain relief!
It’s difficult to say exactly how many you need because every person is different. Some of our clients just need one session every few months, others get a treatment every week.
The best way to understand what you need is by following the expert advice of our therapists. Before and after every session, they’ll give you a clear understanding of where you’re at and help you figure out what you need to do next to achieve results going forward.
If the following apply to you, then you should avoid booking a massage treatment: If you are sick If you’re pregnant (pre-12 weeks) If you have inflammation If you are suffering from nausea If you have bruises, wounds, rashes, or severe sunburn in areas you’d like a massage If your doctor does not recommend you receive at treatment

You'll notice your therapist's moves will become less firm and more relaxing. After which, they will let you know your treatment has ended and they will step out of the room for a moment, allowing you to re-dress and receive your aftercare advice.
Payment is always taken prior to bookings via our website booking system.
Our cancellation policy is that you must give 24-hours notice before your treatment to cancel. If you book a space with one of our therapists and do not show up to your appointment, it's kind of like being asked to come into work and being told to go home unpaid which is unfair. Therefore, we do not accept last minute cancellations (we will not refund or re-schedule your booking). If you cannot make your appointment, and wish to gift your time to a friend then we are willing to accommodate this.
Please note that this policy includes COVID related cancellations.
Unfortunately, we do not offer parking at Deserved Massage (the space in front of the building is reserved for contractors working on the building).
If you are only in for a short session of 30 or 45 minutes, then you can park at the nearby Lidl which offers up to 90 minutes free parking. Please note though, they are very strict about not exceeding this and you must buy something at Lidl in order to avoid being fined.

If you are in for a longer massage treatment and need to park your car then we'd suggest using the underground car park next to the Gurdwara Temple which is £3 for a 2 hour time slot.
