Massage For Neck/shoulders?

[efyl]

Hello, I'm wondering if anyone has come across any massage places that offer a massage focusing on the neck/shoulder area (maybe head too). I need some work on that area and some of the general massages hit those areas but don't focus on them. Alternatively, if you know a place that's responsive to requests, that should work as well. I tried at one place directing the massage therapist to a problematic area but it seemed like she kind of avoided it. I get the impression that most of the people trained in Thai massage are used to going through a set sequence and not necessarily used to developing a program of treatment specific to an individual's bodily concerns. Any help is appreciated. Thanks in Advance!

there is a little place on the corner close to Tuskers Bar & just over the road from the moat. They offer a head, shoulders and neck massage for quite a reasonable price (150 baht I think). It's not bad value

yes you are right to a great extent, start here and finish there...times up. If you get a good masseuse, she will concentrate on a specific area where you have the problem. All you have to do is keep looking till you find one that suits. The one that just left here this evening specialises in hip problems, which I have at the moment.

I had a painful upper back and shoulder and went to Fresh Herbs (Groundfloor Hillside 4) where a lady (sorry do not know her name) located a knot of muscle in spasm and worked on it with some strong oil. She really sorted it out for me.

I too highly recommend that place. They are excellent. Ask for Dang. She is not always there though.

I too have old injury to neck and shoulder and regularly get treatment from 'Loi Kroh Massage'..Soi 3..turn right into Soi 3 at the famed doctors clinic..about 30metres on the left is LKM..own and run by kind Dutchman Rutger. He and staff highly trained and skilled in all aspects of traditional Thai massage, Royal Thai Herbal, Oil massage and hot stone techniques. His wife also runs a Massage School next door. Quote my name as a referral. Good luck, you won't be disapointed.
