Panwa Thai Massage — Attraction in Huntington Beach

By the end of last week, I was experiencing stiffness and spasms in my neck and could not turn my head without severe pain. On Saturday morning, the pain was worse. I found this place with a Google search. Most massage places in the area were closed due to Covid 19. Panwa returned my voice mail promptly and gave me an appointment within 45 minutes. They took my temperature , had me sign a Coronavirus waiver and I paid cash before the massage. Preliminaries over, they took me straight back to a dimly lit private room with quiet music and gave me privacy to disrobe. The environment is soothing. The massage practitioner did not focus solely on my neck, but also worked on my entire back, both arms, my shoulders and even worked a bit on my legs and feet. She walked up the back of my legs and up to my shoulder blades. In between working on other areas of my body, she returned repeatedly to my neck and shoulders. Since the area was extremely painful, this gave me breaks to relax between bouts of intensive deep tissue massage. She was very thorough. Without me telling her, she located several other areas on my body where I have ongoing issues and focused on them. Overall, this was a positive experience and I would highly...

Great authentic Thai massage, and excellent customer service. I will be back! This review is based on two massages. I had this massage 2 months after giving birth to my child, and I hadn't had a true massage in over a year, so needless to say I was way overdue and in need of a good massage. It may have been harder than my body could handle though because I was sore and uncomfortable that night (more than normally expected after a massage). But I contacted the owner the next day and explained my experience; she asked me to return and I am so glad I did - the re-do massage by Anne was MUCH better, lighter pressure and more relaxing. I'm so thankful for their excellent customer service in addressing my pain. I am now a loyal customer.

Tip: this is not a typical relaxing massage like the Swedish or deep-tissue massages found at most other places. It can be quite strong so make sure you ask for medium or soft pressure, especially if it's your first time. And prepare to be stretched and twisted like a pretzel. But highly recommended!

A massage here was a surprise gift from my (at the time) boyfriend. I was apprehensive at first but very quickly realized this was going to be a good thing. My first massage here was a Swedish massage. Very relaxing and soothing. I work a very stressful job, long hours and on my feet most of the time. This was a great relaxer. My last massage was a Thai massage... Wow!! I was having some serious tightness and bad sleep for a few days, again my now husband came to the rescue. I had no idea what a Thai massage really was but know what they did for me the first time I was ready for what they could offer. My best advice is relax, breath and let them work, communicate what hurts and what you need but then relax and roll with it. These ladies are amazing!! Can't wait for my next massage! It's...
