Vibrations that reach where hands can't.

Come fully clothed, at your booked time or as a drop-in where your club takes them. Check in with your phone, lie face down, and an automated 3D scan maps your body. Your first scan at a station is checked by the Self team before the massage starts, and the screen shows how long is left. A 15-minute session then runs from there: you set intensity and focus, and the robot handles the rest. Production units shipping from January 2027 include that automated scan on every visit.

Wear comfortable clothes, sessions are fully clothed, no changing required. Tie back long hair if it falls onto your neck or shoulders. Check in on the Self touch screen or app, lie down when prompted, and the system builds your 3D body map from there. No special apparel, oils, or undressing.

No. Sessions are fully clothes-on and there is no therapist in the room. Venue layout varies — some clubs use a dedicated room, others a screened floor placement. The session itself is 15 minutes.

Not always. Where your club takes drop-ins, you can scan the code on a free station and start a session there and then, if the next booking leaves enough time. Some session types can only be booked, and some clubs do not take drop-ins. Booking holds your time.

No. Self is for members aged 18 and over. Sessions are designed for adult recovery needs; clubs do not offer use for under-18s.

No. We advise against use during pregnancy or while breastfeeding. Percussion and pressure on the back and torso are not appropriate in those stages. Ask your doctor about other recovery options.

Both. Before can work as a light warm-up; after is what most members prefer, percussion relaxes muscle, and going deep right before an intense session can leave you feeling too loose. Post-workout recovery is the usual choice on the floor.

A massage chair runs one fixed program for one assumed body shape. The same rollers, the same spots, whether you are tall or short, tight in the shoulders or lower back. Self scans your body in 3D every visit and places percussion exactly where you need it, adapting pressure and focus in real time. A six-axis arm reaches areas a chair cannot, under the shoulder blade, precise lumbar work, and remembers you next time. It is personalised recovery on demand, not a pre-set track.

Full-body flows plus targeted programs for lower back, glutes, and legs (hamstrings and calves). Pick your focus at the start or change it mid-session, Self places percussion where your body needs it, not a fixed track.

Do not use Self if you are under 18, pregnant or breastfeeding, or have an active pacemaker or electronic implant. We also advise against use with recent surgery, acute injury, open wounds on the treatment area, severe osteoporosis, blood clots, or uncontrolled heart conditions, and when your doctor has told you to avoid percussion or deep tissue work. If any of these apply, consult your clinician before your first session.

Self delivers clinical-grade percussion with robotic placement and pressure control, no angle drift, no tired arms, no guessing where to hold the device. A home device is great for spot work you do yourself; Self is for precise, full-session recovery you walk into on the floor, clothes-on, with a profile that improves every visit.

You can try Self at current pilots in London, United Kingdom and Switzerland. The 2026 fleet is sold out. Join the 2027 waitlist to book a try or reserve a floor. Contact us.
