Lucky addition to massage business

Best Traditional Thai Herbal Massage has become so popular that owner Banchorn Puranaphan’s cousin, Luck, has now joined the business.

Chorn opened Best Traditional Thai Herbal Massage three years ago and now has many regular clients who book in for a massage every week. She has decided to sponsor her cousin Luck to come to New Zealand so she can help her with the busy workload which comes from having a great reputation for providing relaxing, healing herbal Thai massage.

Luck spent five years working at the Thai Massage Centre at Nakhou Chiang Mai Hospital, specialising in pain and nerve problems.

Thai massage has many different styles and is based on the ancient writings of a Buddhist monk who was a traditional healer over 2500 years ago. It combines philosophies relating to stretching, yoga, pressure point work, shiatsu and understanding of the body's energy flow.

Chorn says in Thailand massage is used as a preventative therapy, not a cure for illness. She trained in the traditional healing massage techniques of Dr Shivagakomarpaj.

Thai herbal massage is great for people who want to get movement back into their muscles after physical exercise, is excellent for sportspeople after competing in an event, and terrific for those working at the computer who have neck and shoulder problems.

With two experienced Thai healing traditional massage practitioners under one roof, clients can book in for a massage with Chorn or Luck and experience the benefits for their health and wellbeing.

Phone Chorn for an appointment and try Best Traditional Thai Herbal Massage for yourself.
