The “Stretch & Tokyo Sumiyoshi Station Front Store,” which opened in April 2024, offers Thai traditional massage, with a blend of yoga stretches, shiatsu, and chiropractic techniques.
They will listen carefully to your areas of physical discomfort and work to improve them.
Communication is a key part of therapy at “Stretch & Tokyo Sumiyoshi Station Front Store”. The therapist asks about any pain you may have and works with you to set goals. While you can have a session just to relax, scheduling monthly sessions can lead to significant improvements.
In addition to traditional Thai and maternity massage, there is a wide range of other options, including oil foot massage and massage using a massage gun.
You can also combine the menus to choose a massage that suits your physical condition.
What sets this experience apart is the ability to combine these different techniques to create a customized treatment tailored to your physical condition and specific needs. It is uncommon to find a place where various massage styles are seamlessly integrated, and I felt very grateful for it.
Deep acupressure massages the muscles, promoting blood and lymphatic circulation, while gentle stretches help to condition and refresh the entire body.
During the massage, I experienced a soothing warmth spreading through my muscles. I could feel the tension melting away, leaving me deeply relaxed.
Soft mats and cushions are provided, creating an environment that puts less strain on the body.
The salon provides all the necessary materials, including loose-fitting pants and a T-shirt. I appreciate being able to enjoy a session on a workday without needing to bring extra clothes. It’s convenient and allows me to fit a relaxing massage into my busy schedule without any hassle.
“Stretch & Tokyo Sumiyoshi Station Front Store” offers “Chiang Mai style” treatments, distinguished by various techniques, such as sitting astride the other person’s body, stepping on them with the soles of their feet, or standing on them.
I spend a lot of time sitting at a computer, which often leads to lower back pain and limited hip flexibility. The therapist worked on improving my mobility with great care and gentleness, making the experience very soothing.
According to the owner, Ms. Riho, Thai traditional massage includes parts where two people do it together, similar to yoga. Stretching alone can end in tensing up the body, but with support, you can relax and still get the stretching effect.
Given my lack of flexibility, I was surprised to perform the movement successfully. The therapist placed her foot on my back and we held the pose for a while. It was an unusual but effective technique. I felt the gentle pressure and the extended hold helped to stretch my muscles and improve my flexibility.
The “Stretch & Tokyo Sumiyoshi Station Front Store” also offers gentle massages for pregnant women. With many of the store’s customers being pregnant women, experienced female staff are available for the massages. Pregnant women who are planning to book a massage should check with their doctor in advance to see if a massage is appropriate.
In conclusion, this salon offers a unique experience that combines a variety of techniques and personalized care. The therapist, who is half Japanese and half Spanish, speaks fluent English, ensuring accurate communication and a deep understanding of your needs. You will leave feeling relaxed and impressed by this exceptional service, making every visit memorable.
