Pyers Thai Therapy, at 7a Tahunanui Drive in Tāhunanui, Nelson, is run by a mother and daughter, who say they have over 16 years of experience between them. The menu includes Thai massage, which the website describes as a mix of acupressure, compression and passive stretching, as well as gentle relaxing massage, deep tissue massage for aches and sports injuries, and a 30-minute back and shoulder massage for a short visit. Traditional Thai massage can be combined with the studio's own blended oils. The studio also makes a whipped massage oil mousse in small batches. Sessions run for 30, 45, 60, 90 minutes or two hours.
Bookings are made online, though the online system closes two hours ahead, so last-minute appointments are made by phone or text. Couples' massages must be booked ahead by phone or text. The studio is open 10am to 6pm, six days a week. Our pick in Tāhunanui for a quick back and shoulder massage or a deep tissue session with a Thai massage flavour.
