At Dusnee Thai Spa, licensed therapist Sasighan Prasertsri restores bendability to bodies by eliminating hidden tensions and loosening tight tendons using techniques mastered in her native Bangkok. During deep-tissue therapy, pressurized strokes delve deep beneath the body’s surface strata of muscle to target lingering pains caused by heavy physical activity, past injuries, or workplace unicycle accidents. Also known as Nuad-Bo-Rarn, traditional Thai massage uses hands, elbows, feet, and knees to manipulate the body and restore range of motion through stretches while keeping pressure on points of accumulated tension. Targeting both physical nerve clusters, Thai massage may also incorporate steamed herbal compresses, which are places directly onto the skin to soothe swollen muscles and bring out their natural flavors.

Inside Dusnee Thai Spa, shiny, golden fabric cascades elegantly from ceiling to floor about massage beds, providing a blissful, visual rubric for bodies to emulate as they seek their own serenity. Stylized paintings of pink and white flowers flow across the walls, as patients gaze at lounging statues that therapists use as a practice form to harden their hands against rock-hard knots.
