Jade Thai massage is a thai massage therapist on Ridgway Street in Gonville, Whanganui, with a 4.8 rating on Google. Traditional thai massage, or nuad thai, is usually done fully clothed on a firm mat or low table, with little or no oil: the therapist uses thumbs, palms, elbows and sometimes feet to press along the body's energy lines, then moves you through a series of assisted stretches, so it's often nicknamed lazy man's yoga. Expect to wear loose clothing, arrive without a heavy meal, and speak up about pressure, since a good therapist checks in as they work. It's also worth asking whether a therapist trained in Thailand and whether they practise the traditional dry style or oil-based treatments. At 36 Ridgway Street in Gonville, Jade Thai massage brings that press-and-stretch tradition to Whanganui.
