Therapeutic Massage — Midtown Manhattan
Thai Massage,Bodywork & Stretching
Authentic Thai massage techniques combining acupressure, assisted stretching, and therapeutic bodywork — performed fully clothed in a private Midtown Manhattan studio.
What Is Thai Massage?
Thai massage is one of the oldest and most respected healing traditions in the world. Unlike Western massage styles, traditional Thai massage is performed fully clothed on a treatment table, using a combination of rhythmic acupressure, passive stretching, and assisted yoga-like movements to work along the body's energy pathways.
At Jirat Thai Wellness, I bring 19 years of experience and authentic Thai massage training to every session. Each treatment is personalized to your body's needs — whether you're seeking relief from tension, improved flexibility, or deep restoration after a demanding week in Midtown Manhattan.
My approach blends traditional Thai techniques with contemporary therapeutic bodywork, creating a session that is both grounding and genuinely effective. Sessions are available at 18 West 33rd Street, Floor 2 Room 3 — steps from the Empire State Building and Penn Station.

What to Expect During Your Session
Thai massage sessions at Jirat Thai Wellness are performed fully clothed — please wear or bring comfortable, loose-fitting clothing. Sessions take place on a professional treatment table in a private, quiet studio.
Your session begins with a brief consultation to understand your areas of focus, comfort level, and any relevant health considerations. Pressure and techniques are always adjusted to your preferences.
A 60-minute session focuses on key areas of tension. A 90-minute session allows for a more thorough full-body treatment. A 120-minute session provides the most comprehensive experience, with time for deeper work and extended stretching sequences.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Thai massage the same as a regular massage?
Thai massage is distinct from Swedish or deep tissue massage. It is performed fully clothed, uses no oil, and incorporates assisted stretching and acupressure along energy lines. The experience is more active and movement-based than a traditional table massage.
Do I need to bring anything for a Thai massage?
Thai massage is performed fully clothed. Please wear or bring comfortable, loose-fitting clothing — athletic wear or yoga clothes work well. Everything else is provided.
Is Thai massage good for neck and shoulder tension?
Yes. Thai massage commonly addresses tension in the neck, shoulders, and upper back through a combination of acupressure, targeted bodywork, and assisted stretching. Many clients find it particularly effective for desk-related tension and upper body stiffness.
Where is Jirat Thai Wellness located?
The studio is located at 18 West 33rd Street, Floor 2 Room 3, 18 W 33rd St Floor 2 Room 3, New York, NY 10001 — in Midtown Manhattan, a short walk from Penn Station and the Empire State Building. Open daily 10:00 AM–10:00 PM.
