Amazing massage! Natty was so awesome ❤️ The only suggestion I have is to have an electric blanket on beds as I was very very cold.

Tina was amazing. I go to Thai massages quite often and this is a hidden gem. Humble spot, the massage spoke for itself and was well worth the money.

Too much elbows to the shoulder blades, needs more variation and attention to the neck, head and upper shoulder area. Massage however has improved issues overall. Thanks

Finally found a gem of a place to get an amazing Thai massage on the east side of Auckland. I've lived in Thailand and can say that this massage was one of the best I've ever had. It's an unassuming place in a row of shops but the staff make it a lovely experience. My masseuse, Dasha simply knew just by tapping my back that I carried my tension there and worked it right out of me. She has a gentle presence and voice but wonderfully instinctive and truly superior touch. Will be going back and also recommending Massage Studio to everyone.

This was my 1st ever Thai massage and boy, was it the bestest ever! It's like the perfect 2 in 1 Relaxing massage and a Therapeutic chiro cracking session! One of other highlights for me was the much needed Silence... Dasha is very experienced and knowledgeable in her work. Will defo be returning next month for another 90 mins of bliss... Well done, Massage Studio Team!

Pam is intuitive and an incredible therapist. I have been getting regular massages from various places for the last 15 years and Pam is the best! I have the myofascial massage every few weeks and since beginning treatment I have been much more relaxed with far less aches and pains. I am so lucky to have found her!

Your therapist might use arms and elbows to work out tension and speed up healing. Or some prefer a deep tissue massage to soothe chronic pain or help with restoration for injuries. You can book a deep tissue massage for between 30 minutes and 1 hour 30 minutes, with our massage therapists in St Johns.

Deep Tissue Massage FAQs
Deep tissue massages offer a range of benefits, from improved circulation and blood pressure to better sleep and a healthier mind. However, there is currently very little evidence to directly link deep tissue massages to the breakdown of fat.
That doesn’t mean a deep tissue massage, or any kind of massage, can’t be used as part of a well-rounded approach to weight loss. If it makes you feel better both mentally and physically that can only help!
This is entirely up to you. If you’ve experienced a deep tissue massage and felt the benefits, then you might decide it’s worth doing regularly - or even just the once so you could know what it’s like and if it’s something you’d be interested in again.
You might feel they aren’t for you, in which case you might be more interested in other types of massage treatment, including:
- Swedish massage
- Hot stone massage
- Thai massage
- Lymphatic massage
- Shiatsu massage
When you get a deep tissue massage, your therapist will ask which area of your body you want them to focus on. There is no standard method - the treatment should be tailored to your specific needs, but all therapists will have their own individual styles too.
You’ll be asked to lay on the massage table, either on your front, back or side depending on what area is being massaged. Your therapist might begin lightly at first to warm up your muscles, before moving on to the areas of focus.
This will involve deep pressure being applied slowly with hands, arms and elbows to release your contracted muscles and tissues. The time it takes to complete the treatment can vary, but it will normally be between one and two hours.
It’s been known for centuries that emotions can be trapped deep inside the body, and a deep tissue massage can be effective at helping release those tensions. Your massage therapist will understand the importance of emotional release as part of their treatments - however it’s important to remember that they may not be trained to assist in emotional therapy.
There are no hard and fast rules on how often you should get a deep tissue massage - it’s more about what feels right for you and what provides the most benefits. This could be daily, a few times a week, every month - whatever makes you feel comfortable.
Remember you can always ask your therapist to recommend a treatment plan, as their expertise means they’ll know how to address the underlying issues you may be suffering from.
It’s normal to feel some soreness after a deep tissue massage, as they can be quite intense. Think of it as the same kind of pain you get after a hard workout! The treatment itself does involve high pressure being applied to your body, and there may be some discomfort - if it becomes too much, you can always let your therapist know.
However, it’s important to note that while soreness can be common, you shouldn’t be feeling any extreme pain post-massage. If this is the case, you should tell your therapist and your doctor too.
The reason a deep tissue massage can leave lingering pain and discomfort is because they involve intense physical pressure on your body. It’s completely normal for the soreness to last for a day or even two or three!
