Dee Dee Thai Massage is an independent traditional Thai massage service on the first floor of the Boys' High Building at the Arts Centre, 28 Worcester Boulevard, Christchurch Central. The Arts Centre is one of New Zealand's largest collections of heritage buildings. The studio's therapists are trained in traditional Nuad Thai, and the owner, Vicky, has practised since 2008.
Treatments include traditional Thai, relaxing, therapeutic, remedial, deep tissue, hot stone and foot reflexology sessions, and head, neck and shoulder massage. Each treatment is planned around the client's needs, and new clients fill in an intake form on arrival. Only coconut oil is used, and the studio says it is a Pacific Island coconut oil. Cancellations need at least 8 hours' notice, or a $50 fee applies, unless the client is unwell. One reviewer said the treatment was tailored to where they were hurting. Our pick in Christchurch Central for traditional Thai massage in a heritage setting.
