Just Thai Massage is a Thai massage practice at 16 Lowe Street in Gisborne Central. The website gives the offices as 16/18 Lowe Street, which were recently refurbished. The business was set up by Yah, who brought authentic Thai massage to Gisborne in 2015 and previously ran a busy Thai massage clinic in Thailand. The team includes therapists with experience in Thailand and in Gisborne. Treatments run from 60 to 120 minutes. Traditional Thai massage uses deep tissue pressure, joint manipulation and rhythmic movement, and the intensity is adjusted to suit each client. Other options are a deep therapy massage for muscle strains and sports injuries, a hot stone massage using volcanic stones and essential oil, a foot massage, and a neck, back and shoulder massage.
Customers say the 90-minute hot stone massage was divine and left them relaxed and refreshed. Another says the team gave a thorough deep massage to the back, neck and shoulders, and that a cup of tea was offered at the end. One customer whose mother visited, at nearly 80 years old, says the massage was excellent and the facilities were top notch. Customers mention the atmosphere. For someone in Gisborne who wants a traditional Thai massage or a hot stone treatment, the practice offers a range of lengths and styles.
