Traditional Thai massage works differently from a standard oil massage: it is usually done fully clothed on a firm mat or low table, with the therapist using palms, thumbs, elbows and sometimes knees to press along the body's energy lines, then guiding you through assisted stretches. It suits tight shoulders, stiff backs and post-sport soreness especially well. A good therapist asks about injuries first and checks in on pressure as they work — firm is the aim, but you should be able to breathe through it. Regulars wear loose clothing and drink plenty of water afterwards.
For deep, stretching relief just east of central Christchurch, Nina's on Worcester Street has clearly earned its loyal following.
