My Experience with Urban Clap Massage Services @Home: Review

Hey lovely readers,

Another weekend is here again, and while its completely #lockdown in India to combat the spread of the deadly virus #COVID-19, I thought to spare some time (from #WFH) for my new blogpost. Well, this blog is about my experience hiring the ‘popular’ Urban Clap services for my first ever massage at home.

I hope everyone is aware of Urban Clap. Its the one-stop destination if you are looking for professional help for anything from the plumber, electrician, cleaning to Fridge, RO & AC repair as well as women beauty salon and massage services.

I never did a try to Urban Clap before my sister discussed her relaxing home massage appointment via them. The way she explained each and every minor thing- from the expert arrival to the surrounding she created and performed her overall job, I literally craved to experience the same at the very moment. Probably this is the reason why I haven’t put a second thought booking an appointment with Urban Clap the very next weekend.

From their vast menu of massages, I booked Swedish Medium pressure massage with essential oils. Let me explain a little about my chosen Swedish massage. This is a gentle form of massage that uses long strokes, kneading, deep circular movements, vibration and tapping to help relax and energize you. PS: Don’t get carried away too soon..continue reading my in-depth experience of the same.

The moment I booked my choice of massage, they allotted me a therapist who was expected to be reaching to my home (Gaur City, Greater Noida) on my preferred time slot. Her name was Rajni and I can call as well as track her too via the details Urban Clap sent on my phone. She arrived on time and was holding a big folded massage bed. I asked her how she has been here holding so much weight. She replied- “Mam aaj saturday hai, husband ghar par the to unhone chhord dia.”

I took her to my room and she started unfolding the bed. She was carrying some other massage utilities like disposable massage clothes, a portable music system, aromatic candles and 3 bottles of essential oil. I was then asked to change. She prepared the bed, put on the disposal sheet over it, played the soothing music of nature, lighted the aromatic candles and asked me to lay over the bed.  As a precautionary measure, she inquired a few things from me like- if I have an underlying medical issue, any symptoms or expecting. (out of no way :D)

As she started her job relaxing my nerves, she switched off the light and covered me with a sheet.  For a full 1 hour, I was literally in heaven. The sound of chirping birds, the flow of water made me feel so much relaxed. She started with my feet>legs>back>arms and ended with my thighs, lower & upper abdomen and neck. She used those essential oils to reduce friction as well as let my skin absorb that nutrient-rich oil. In between, she asked to determine about the pressure needed.

The massage session lasted for 60 minutes.

That Massage really made me feel good. Its really a great way to indulge or pamper yourself. On the contrary, massage can really be a powerful tool to help you take charge of your health and well-being, whether you have a specific health condition or are just looking for another stress reliever.  I am really looking forward to booking my next appointment with Urban Clap ( maybe this time with another variant –Deep Tissue one!).

Hope to see things normalize soon!

Lastly, I am mentioning a few things that I really liked about Urban Clap massage and some that I feel could have been better.

Thumbs Up:

• Expert Professional
• On-time service without any delay
• Deliver what they promise with all mentioned utilities
• Various Payment Options (Like I chose for the card on delivery)

Thumbs Down:

• I found 1 hour pretty less. She consumed the time of preparation from that 1 hour only.
• Found prices a little high. (I had booked it for 1299 INR)
