Koia — Local services in London

I cracked my tailbone and sacrum 2 months ago and since then I had developed what I thought were knots in my lower back that had become extremely painful, so I booked in for a massage with the hope that a masseuse would be able to help with the knots. It turned out to not be knots after all, but the muscles of the entire lower area, especially the piriformus and the hip flexors, had become excruciatingly tight as a result of my injury and this was tightening all of the surrounding muscles including those in my lower back which were so painful. I am so lucky that I was given Fernando for my massage, because he is also is a physical therapist so we were able to talk about my injury and the result, where the pain was coming from, and he was able to target all of the surrounding muscles one at a time to try to loosen them up. It was very painful at times, but necessary. I have had enough experience in my life with sport and injury to know that this was doing me goo. Today I am very sore as I knew I would be, but after doing some light stretches which Fernando gave me, I feel like I am on my way thanks to him to undoing some of the accumulated damage of the past months from my injury. I can't recommend Fernando highly enough--thank you, and...

I cannot fault my experience today or indeed any time i have visited Koia!

Fantastic covid precautions taken, the spa was spotless with a ‘one in one out’ routine as far as i could tell!

The Manager/Owner as always was warm, inviting and helpful! She never ceases to make me feel good about myself! Thank you! 🙏🏽

Speaking of feeling good, i cannot explain how long overdue i have been for some much needed koia sport massaging! After a year of working from home hunched over my desk my already bad back has been in agony!

Bernadeta was fantastic, she listened to me about where the pain was coming from and paid special focus to those areas at just the right pressure, leaving me to return home feeling loose, light and energised for the first time in so long!

I wouldn’t choose to go anywhere else, I’ve recommended a number of friends and family to Koia all whom agree this is a truly special place, of luxury, quality and serenity.

Not to mention it’s the only place i can get my hands on my favourite goji berry tea and geodesis candles!! 😌😌

Thank you for once again making me feel...

I previously had a swedish massage with Ola which was fantastic, beautiful setting and very relaxing. I was also presented with a small gift at the end.

On this occasion I booked a remedial massage, the masseur was nice however I was not happy with the treatment areas, I've had a remedial/sports massage before and it was focused on various parts of the body with continuous motion throughout the whole session. This massage felt more like a treatment session focused on one part of my body, I had to participate with certain movements and tensing during the massage. It also finished 7 minutes early and when I had to mention this which made me feel very uncomfortable. He completed the rest of the time however the room was very cold, the air conditioning was up quite high. As clients of a place like Koia you would expect to be asked if the temperature is right etc Overall disappointed with this session. The receptionist was very kind...
