A private Thai massage and wellness studio at 18B Quinns Road in Shirley, Christchurch, run from a calm, minimalist home studio. The website describes a boutique setting with personalised care, and each session starts with a chat about any preferences and areas of tension. Treatments include dry Thai massage, which combines acupressure with assisted yoga postures, and a Thai oil fusion massage using warm coconut oil. Deep tissue and sports recovery work is offered for persistent tension, as well as royal Thai and hot stone massage. A mini facial and body scrub treatments are also available. The website says that when you book any treatment, you can add a free 10-minute add-on, such as a head and shoulder, foot or hot stone massage.
Customers say the massage is long, flowing and relaxing, with specific pressure-point work, and that the pressure can be adjusted to suit them. One customer with very sore muscles from hard work says the massage was better than anywhere they had tried. Another filled in a form about past injuries before the session, and left with more mobility in the neck. Our pick in Shirley for a relaxed Thai massage that is tailored to you.
