I would actually recommend the one I went to but I don't think it would be prudent to name it now. I don't blame her, the masseuse, I think it's just my physiology that caused it and I am curious to know how that works. I also don't feel there is any lasting damage beyond a few days of discomfort. I would be more concerned if there was any issue affecting my vertebrae rather than a muscle. Edited October 14, 2022 by Padthaigoong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I must say it seems a good thing to release it if that is the case. You can't beat a good release. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimTripper Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 (edited) Why don't you goto a real massage place? They wear the silk dresses and traditional clothing. They will have an option for hard or soft massage. You don't want to walk into a nameless shop and have someone in street clothes putting weird pressure on your back. It could just be someone who was hired yesterday from upcountry somewhere who was a rice farmer. It could end up hurting you or pulling a muscle.

I have to say that I do like real massage, not particularly the traditional Thai type, but a relaxing one without all of the pressure from elbows etc, this especially as I seem unable to sleep on many occasions, and I can certainly nod off for 30 to 60 minutes when having one of these. Luckily enough here in Patong I have located a couple of great massage places, with fully trained staff, certificates etc displayed and no funny business involved at all, so they are my main ports of call when I feel I need to go (been going to them for more than 10 years now), either because of lack of sleep, or as a result of the many football injuries I've incurred over the years in my youth, giving me some grief.

I deliberately sought recommendations from other people for a reputable shop where I could get a health massage with no funny business. The one I used to use called Eden closed down in the pandemic so I had to find somewhere else. I don't think there was anything wrong with what she did. I've had the same type of massage hundreds of times before. It's just unfortunate I seem to be prone to this especially after a long time without one.

No contra-indications checked, and performing some pretty dangerous movements on some people. No wonder people have been injured, some permanently. Gotta watch 'em like a hawk and be firm. At the same time it's also a function of money: you get what you pay for. Qualified, competent massage therapists are more expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can apply that logic across the board in this country and that's what makes it affordable. I don't think I would get a better massage from someone with a wall of certificates The same thing would have happened but they would have charged me more for it.
