10 Minutes South
Thai Massage near
Thornaby
A straight run down through Ingleby Barwick and over the river into Yarm. Skilled therapists, open 7 days, and online booking rather than phone tag.
Why Guests Drive Down
Thornaby is well served for almost everything except this
Thornaby has the retail parks, the leisure centre, the gyms and the aerodrome development. What it does not have is a spa offering Thai massage, which is why a steady stream of Thornaby guests make the short run down to Yarm instead.
The drive is about 10 minutes on a normal day, straight down through Ingleby Barwick and over the river, or along the A135 if you are coming from the Stockton end. It is short enough that a 60 minute treatment after work still leaves you your evening.
What you get at the other end is a proper Georgian high street rather than a retail unit, and a spa where the treatment menu runs from 30 focused minutes to a 90 minute herbal ritual. We are at 49 High Street, near the Town Hall on the cobbles.

What Thornaby guests tend to book
Traditional Thai Massage, 60 minutes, £50. 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.
Deep Tissue, 60 minutes, £50. For the shoulders and lower backs of people who spend their days at a screen or a wheel. Firm, sustained and specific.
Hot Stone, 60 minutes, £65. Smooth heated basalt stones and warm oil, glided through the muscles and rested where you hold tension, so the warmth sinks in and tightness melts away without heavy pressure. It is the most comforting hour you can give yourself when you feel tense but would rather have warmth than firm work. After a gentle warm up, the stones travel up from the legs, settling the back and shoulders, before your therapist finishes with a soft head massage by hand. You will feel warm right through, calm and wonderfully relaxed.
Head, Neck & Shoulder, 30 minutes, £30. The practical option if you are fitting it around a school run or a shift. 10 minutes each way, 30 minutes of focused work.
Everything is on the price list, or ring 07301 158604 and describe the problem.
