What is your favorite Touch of Asia Treatment?  Why?
Its hard to choose, they both are so effective.

Why did you decide to first visit Touch of Asia?
I had chronic headaches with intense pain in my skull for the last 12 years.  I would suffer from this pain 3-5 days per week, all day long.  It drastically affected my quality of life.  I tried every treatment known to man.  Everyone I saw told me to do something different and nothing worked, nobody had the answer.  Every medication I could try, I was given.  Surgery was starting to be discussed.  Eventually I decided to take matters into my own hands and find something for myself.  That's when I found Touch of Asia.

How many visits did it take before you noticed benefits from your treatments at
Touch of Asia?
Interesting enough, it only took one visit.  After the first massage, I did not have any headaches for the entire week.  It had been 12 years since I felt the reprieve from the constant pain in my skull and intense headaches.   I decided to go back and schedule a regular massage.  Its been over 4 weeks now and I have not had even one headache.  I've regained my quality of life after 12 long years.  I went from having 3-5 days of intense pain to no pain at all with just one massage.
Can you describe your experiences at Touch of Asia and the results?
I think my prior answer speaks for itself.  This is the real deal.  These people know how to fix your health problem.  No medication, no surgical procedures, just natural therapeutic massage by specialized massage therapists.  They are experts in their field.  If they can fix my 12-year chronic issue, I am sure they could fix just about anything.

Healing Stone Massage because it leaves me feeling so incredibly relaxed, refreshed, and at peace.  When I am done, I do not have a care in the world.

Medical problems, I was being treated for hypertension, high pulse rate, anxiety, stress, and insomnia. I was taking lots of medication, working out at the gym and tried acupuncture.

Touch of Asia:

I have been a client with TOA from the early days when David and Tukta were just starting up TOA out of their living room while waiting for a larger home to be built.  I fondly remember sitting down with them over a cup of tea and discussing the history, techniques and goals of Thai massage.  The book “A Thai Herbal” that David recommended provided additional details about Thai massage and eating healthier and how what we eat affects our body.

I have chronic back problems that include my neck, mid back, and lower back.  When I found the TOA flyer in a local supermarket I was really desperate for relief from my constant discomfort and sometimes debilitating pain.  At that time my doctor had prescribed anti-inflammatories, muscle relaxers, and pain killers, some of which I was taking twice daily.  I was also doing physical therapy and getting chiropractic adjustments.  After an extended period of this and continued spasms my physical therapist recommended that I try deep tissue massages.  It was during this time while trying to find a good massage therapist and trying various types of massages that I found the TOA flyer.

Thai massage was not a miracle cure for me; it was originally just part of a routine of doing physical therapy, chiropractic adjustments, deep tissue massages, acupuncture and taking the pills.  However, I have gradually stopped the physical therapy (with the help of my insurance carrier), the chiropractic adjustments, and the pills (all of them).  I am now doing the Thai massage twice a month and the deep tissue and acupuncture on occasion.

A testament to the effectiveness of the TOA Thai massage for me is a pinched nerve and spasm that I experienced in late July.  The pain was so great that simply taking deep breaths was extremely painful.  I had experienced these types of spasms in the past and I would miss work for three days just taking pills and lying as still as possible.  This time I called TOA and was fortunate that they had a slot available.  When I arrived at their office David took a look at my back and could easily feel the inflamed area of the spasm.  David recommended that I allow the therapist to use Tiger Balm as part of the massage.  I felt better after the massage but I was convinced from past experience that I would be in pain for at least three days.  I went home and rested and when I woke the next morning I had no pain at all without taking pills or any other treatment.  I was able to go to work and function normally.

Thank you Touch of Asia,
David W. R.

Healing Stones:  I exercise a lot, work long hours and the healing stones along with deep tissue treatment relaxes the body as well as releases the tightness in the areas being stressed.
Reflexology: I have a lot of stress in my neck and information was given when received reflexology treatment explaining how various parts of the foot controls areas of the body - neck one of them....After my treatment, I felt immediate release and for 2 weeks, I felt no stress in my neck.

What is your favorite Touch of Asia Treatment?  Why?
The Royal Thai Herbal Massage provides a deep warmth that works well for relieving muscle tension.  I enjoy the aroma and fragrance of the steamed herbs.  At the conclusion, I am elevated, peaceful, with balanced energy.
Why did you decide to first visit Touch of Asia? 
I had prior knowledge of Thai massage and was referred by my Chiropractor.  The goal was to improve my flexibility and reduce muscle tightness in my neck, shoulders and back.  I accomplished all of these by visiting Touch of Asia for regular massage treatments. Even with prior Thai massage experience at other spas, I benefited from the authentic practitioners and Thai massage treatments offered at Touch of Asia. How many visits did it take before you noticed benefits from your treatments at Touch of Asia? I noticed a benefit after just the 1st visit.  My muscle tension had released and I had a wonderful calmness.  I decided to continue with regular treatments to advance and get my body back to the way I felt years ago.
Can you describe your experiences at Touch of Asia and the results?
Touch of Asia staff provided me with knowledge that created an increased level of comfort and confidence that they would be able to help me.  I agreed with their philosophy and approach to healing.  I liked knowing that Touch of Asia has a school of traditional Thai massage.  I thought, if they are teaching Thai massage they must know it very well.  After experiencing the massage treatments, I have a desire to learn from their school.

What Touch of Asia  treatments have you tried so far? Traditional Thai Massage
What is your favorite Touch of Asia Treatment?  Why?
Traditional Thai massage is my favorite treatment.  It releases all the negative energy and I can feel the restored energy flow back in my body.  I can feel more oxygen in every part of my body.  My muscle tissue is more toned and I feel light as a feather. My flexibility has improved greatly.
Why did you decide to first visit Touch of Asia? 
I had a lower back problem that often woke me up in the middle the night.  It affected my sleep and I could not get rid of it.  I tried other massages.  I wanted to try something different.
How many visits did it take before you noticed benefits from your treatments at Touch of Asia? I noticed the benefits after the 1st massage.  I have not woke up even once with my lower back problem since my first visit.  I have tried other massages but did not have the results like I now have with Thai massage.  My pain is GONE. Can you describe your experiences at Touch of Asia and the results? From the moment I walked in I knew it was a GREAT PLACE.  I had a complete release of all my back problems.  I have been in the “Balance” and the “Freedom” rooms.  That is exactly the way I felt when getting a massage in there.  I achieved more balance and freedom from my pain. I JUST LOVE BEING HERE!!!!
