Dokkoon Thai Massage is a Thai massage therapist at 3 Duke Street in Putāruru, South Waikato, holding a perfect 5.0 rating from 12 Google reviews. Reviewers describe travelling from Tirau on cafe hearsay, tradesmen credit it with easing years of aches, and one customer who has had many massages in Thailand ranks Nina among the best.
Traditional Thai massage is usually done fully clothed, without oil, on a firm mat or low table, the therapist using thumbs, palms, elbows and assisted stretches along the body's energy lines. It feels more like being stretched and pressed than stroked — firm, occasionally intense, but never painful, and a good therapist eases off the moment you say so. Wear loose clothing, mention old injuries beforehand, and take the longer session if you can — the sequence works through the whole body in stages, and regulars swear by it.
As one reviewer puts it, a therapist of this calibre is a great asset for Putāruru.
