There are many Rotorua spa massage therapies on offer throughout our region, my favourite is a deep-tissue massage combined with passive stretching and joint manipulation at the central very popular Thai massage facility on Eruera Street called 'The Studio'. It's simply wonderful. They just know how to manipulate away tight muscles and knots, ease the tension in my shoulders and when I leave there, I feel so reinvigorated and a little bit younger. :)
