An Honest Case
A 25 minute drive needs to be worth it
We are not going to pretend Yarm is convenient for Darlington. It is about 12 miles, usually 25 minutes along the A67 through Hurworth and Middleton St George, or slightly longer if you go round on the A66 and A19. Darlington has its own massage therapists, and for a quick 30 minutes on your shoulders you would be better served by a local therapist.
A firm, invigorating hour that sits close to deep tissue, with lots more assisted stretching to free up the hips, back and shoulders. Oil is optional, just let us know how you like it. Once you are warmed up, your therapist begins at the legs with steady pressure and stretches that leave you standing taller and feeling more flexible. A gentle head massage finishes things off beautifully. Brilliant if you feel stiff from sitting, driving or training and want to move freely again.
The other reason people drive over is the 90 minute rituals. Steamed Thai herbal compresses, aromatherapy oils and head massage layered into an unbroken session is a spa experience rather than an appointment, and guests routinely tell us it is the only massage that keeps working for a week afterwards.

Book the 90 minutes
Deep Relief by Herbal, 90 minutes, £100. Our signature ritual, and the most complete treatment we offer. We begin by gently warming the whole body, then Thai massage works its way up from the legs, easing out the tightness you have been carrying for weeks. Warm herbal compresses follow, soft bundles of Thai herbs steamed and pressed into aching muscles, so a deep, comforting heat sinks in exactly where you need it. Beautifully scented aromatherapy oils carry you further into calm, before a slow, soothing head massage brings everything to a peaceful close. The strongest relief we can give in 1 visit, and the treatment our regulars keep coming back for.
Royal Thai Package, 90 minutes, £95. Think of this as the best of everything we do, wrapped into 90 blissful minutes. After a gentle warm up, Thai massage loosens you from the legs upwards, then fragrant aromatherapy oils and smooth heated stones take over, melting away whatever tension is left in the back and shoulders. By the time we reach the end, with a calming head massage to round it all off, most guests are drifting somewhere between awake and asleep. Perfect when you want proper tension relief and deep relaxation in the same session, or simply a well deserved treat.
Traditional Thai Massage, 60 minutes, £50. If 90 minutes is more than you want, this is the proper introduction. You can have it with or without oil, your choice.
Every treatment and price is on the treatments page. Do call 07301 158604 before you set off if you want advice on which to choose, and always book ahead rather than travelling on the off chance.
