I've been at Thai Massage Dublin three times now and I'm definitely a much looser person. Looser in the good sense I hope.
The first visit was the best for a few reasons. I had no appointment but they were able to fit me in. I opted for a 30 minute neck and back massage, as I'd been suffering from neck crick for a few weeks and this session really helped.
The nice lady immediately found the problem areas without prompting. Also even though it was only for 30 minutes, it felt like longer. And it wasn't too painful. The next day I was definitely improved and the neck crick gone. An unexpected highlight was the hot towel. It was a wonderful touch.
I've been back twice since for an hour massage each time to work on other knots in my back, however I don't think these were as good my first visit. I had the same lady for these two visits, who I don't think had the same level of experience as the first masseuse I got. There was a lot of back walking, which I think is a bit of a gimmick if I'm honest. And some of the regular hand massaging was a bit too painful at times, but I'm hoping this is the good pain!
The interior is very well done, ideal for relaxation with soothing music and comfortable massage tables. Another highlight is they have electric blankets on their tables, so you won't get too cold.
One useful thing to know is Tuesday is Ladies Day and Wednesday is Men's Day, when an hour massage is 40 EUR instead of 50 EUR for each day respectively.
I'm still in two minds about going back again. It seems who you get here is random, but I'm not sure I could take more back walking.
Let's wait and see. read more
