Photiya Thai Massage Therapy is a calm, curated studio at 60 Dickens Street in Napier South, Napier, where the treatments are built around traditional Thai techniques. Every visit starts with a consultation so the session can be tailored, and the studio uses premium coconut and essential oils and herbal compresses made from natural botanicals. Its practitioners are certified and trained in authentic Thai methods.
The menu covers traditional Thai stretching massage with acupressure, aromatherapy relaxation, targeted massage for the neck, shoulders, upper back and head, and Thai foot reflexology. It also offers deep tissue massage, hot stone massage, a clinical-style treatment that deals with specific pain or posture issues, and a Thai herbal compress massage. Gift vouchers are available, and sessions run from 30 minutes to two hours. Customers who have written about the studio describe long-standing treatments that have eased shoulder and lower back pain, stretching that left them relaxed, and a headache that cleared after a session. The studio says it is quiet and relaxing.
