Siam Thai Massage

I needed a massage — none of the light pressure, relaxing stuff that I usually get at day spas. I needed something a bit more intense. I recently had my first shiatsu experience and really liked the pressure. I know Thai massages are done in a similar way — a dry massage that uses the masseuse’s weight to create pressure.
Located on Smith Street between Gertrude Street and Victoria Parade is Siam Thai Massage, one of three establishments in Melbourne.
From my experience, Asian massage establishments are less professional from day spas — the masseuse sometimes talk to you in the middle of the massage, fail to give you instructions, or walk in on you when you’re naked (please knock). This has happened to me before and it is annoying. But this establishment appeared professional and I wasn’t uncomfortable there.
The service wasn’t bad — there was no talking during the massage, but there was also no talking before the massage. Do you want to know what kind of pressure I want? Should I be naked, semi-​naked, or fully clothed? We got there in the end.
I left feeling great! The pressure was spot on and while my shoulder is still a bit stiff, my back feels great. I definitely prefer more pressure and I find at day spas, you can’t get the same type of pressure. Prices are good: 45 minutes for $ 65, 60 minutes for $ 75, and 90 minutes for $ 110.
