Office Syndrome

Service Description

Hours at a laptop, a phone in your hand, a long drive, a longer flight – and then the familiar pattern: a stiff neck, heavy shoulders, a tight band across the upper back, sometimes a dull headache or tired eyes by evening. In Thailand we call it Office Syndrome, and this 90-minute treatment was designed for exactly that. It is not a general full-body massage with a little extra time on the shoulders. Almost the whole session is spent where desk-bound bodies actually hold tension: the back, shoulder blades, neck, arms, hands and head. How your session unfolds 1. Warm-up. Thai palm pressure from the feet up to the back and shoulders to wake up the circulation. 2. Back and shoulders. A hot towel relaxes the back, then oil massage and a warm Thai herbal compress are worked over the back, shoulder blades, neck and upper arms. 3. Arms and hands. The part most massages skip: pressure along the three lines of the arm, into the palm and through every finger – a relief for anyone who types, scrolls or grips a steering wheel all day. 4. Chest and shoulders from the front. The herbal compress is rolled across the chest and the front of the shoulders to open a posture that has been rounding forward. 5. Head. A slow head massage to finish, easing the temples, the scalp and the base of the skull. Why guests choose it • focused attention on neck, shoulder and upper-back tightness • freer movement when you turn your head or lift your arms • eases the heavy-headed feeling that comes with tense shoulders • the warmth and scent of Thai herbs calm the mind – and often bring easier sleep that night You will love it if you work at a computer, are a remote worker or digital nomad based in Phuket, drive long distances, or have just spent a week hunched over a phone planning your trip. Good to know Pressure is firm but always adjusted to you. This is a relaxation and wellbeing treatment, not medical care – if you have numbness, sharp pain or a diagnosed neck or spine condition, please check with your doctor first and tell your therapist.
