Angel Thai Spa & Massage is a massage therapist at 252 Manukau Road in Epsom, Auckland, and holds a 4.6 rating on Google.
Traditional Thai massage is a different experience from a standard oil massage: it is usually done through loose clothing, without oil, using rhythmic compression and assisted stretching to loosen tight hips, shoulders and backs. Expect to leave feeling looser, often a little worked over, rather than sleepy. A good therapist will ask about injuries and problem areas before starting, check in on pressure as the session goes, and adapt the treatment rather than run through a fixed routine. If you carry desk-day stiffness in your neck and shoulders, say so — that is exactly what the technique is good at.
A reassuringly well-rated spot for Epsom locals and anyone travelling along Manukau Road.
