Traditional Thai Massage

How long should I get That massage?
At Dokkoon Spa, we offer massages lasting 30 minutes, 60 minutes, 90 minutes and 120 minutes. We typically recommend a 90-minute massage. This will allow the client relaxation time and will give the therapist time to concentrate on problem areas. We want you to have the best massage experience, and we believe you will achieve the best experience if you’re not rushed.

How do I get to the Salon?
Dokkoon Spa is centrally located in Shotton with ample nearby parking and easy access to both rail and buses. We have disabled access too.

How do I make a booking?
For appointments today, please call us or text our mobile. For appointments later in the week, please try out our online booking. For appointments more than a week away, you plan further ahead than we do!

How should I prepare for my massage treatment?
Nothing special, but try to avoid alcohol for 24 hours before, and avoid eating a big meal on the day of your massage.

Will I need to provide my medical history?
If you are a first-time visitor to Dokkoon Spa, you will be asked to complete a short questionnaire covering medical history. This is for your safety, and to allow us to best tailor your treatment to your needs.

Can I shower at the Massage Salon?
Yes, you may shower at Dokkoon Spa after your massage if you wish, but please note that your masseuse will remove any oil with hot towels at the end of your treatment so you may well not need one. Customers coming from outdoor workplaces may wish to shower before treatment.

What is the dress code when receiving a body massage?
At Dokkoon Spa most of the treatments we provide require the application of oil. This can be aromatic or odourless (your choice). You should remove clothing to a level with which you are comfortable.

Do I have to undress in front of my therapist?
No. Your masseuse will show you to your treatment room and then leave you in private to undress. She will knock before re-entering

What are the age restrictions for massage?
There’s no restriction based on age. We have seen all ages from 10 to 79 years old. Our therapists will tailor their treatment to you. Eg, If you are  young or older, the therapist will apply less pressure to suit your body structure.

What happens if I cancel or don’t turn up?
We currently book and reserve your appointment entirely on trust. That system suits us and is per our ethos. We accept that plans can go astray and if you give us a reasonable time to replace your appointment we are happy to cancel.

How do I get the best out of my treatment?
It’s always best to talk to your therapist before treatment about any problem / painful areas that cause you concern. You should also give feedback during the therapy if the massage is too light or hard. The therapist should always ask you periodically to ensure your fully comfortable.

Can you cure my backache?
We will certainly attempt to relieve any muscle tension and stress. In most cases help ease the pain, but we cannot make any long term promises. Feedback from our customers has been very positive.

Can you do home visits?
Sorry, but we cannot facilitate this for individuals however there are options for corporate events. Ask us if you are interested.

Can I combine different treatments into one session?
You certainly can. Discuss this with your therapist about your preferred requirements.

What type of payments do you accept for massage treatments?
We only currently accept cash.

What I should expect after I get Thai massage?
