Apples Thai Massage is a massage therapist at 35 Islington Street in Kawerau, in the Bay of Plenty. Its website is applesthaimassage.com.
A good massage therapist begins by asking about your health, any injuries and what you want from the session, whether that is relaxation or relief from a sore back or shoulders. Traditional Thai massage is usually done on a mat or low table, fully clothed, and uses stretching, compression and rhythmic pressure rather than oil. Wear loose, comfortable clothing, avoid a heavy meal beforehand and tell the therapist straight away if the pressure is too much or too little. It is worth mentioning pregnancy, recent surgery, blood-thinning medication or any medical condition before you start. Drinking water afterwards is a habit many regulars keep, and booking ahead is wise for popular times.
For people in Kawerau and the wider Eastern Bay of Plenty, Apples Thai Massage on Islington Street is a local place to book a session.
