Wasana Thai Traditional Massage is a traditional Thai massage spot on Amohia Street in Owhata, on Rotorua's eastern side, holding a 5.0 rating on Google. Traditional Thai work differs from the oil-based relaxation massage many people picture: it is performed fully clothed, usually on a firm mat or low table, with the therapist using thumbs, palms, forearms and elbows to press along the body's energy lines and guide you through assisted stretches. It tends to feel firm rather than pampering, and a good therapist will check on pressure as they go, so speaking up early makes for a better session. Regulars value it for tight hips, stiff backs and shoulders, and in a town where days get spent on forest trails, lake paths and long drives, it suits travel-weary bodies well. For those living in or visiting Owhata, Wasana brings that style of hands-on work to Amohia Street.
