Thai massage at Shosho Beauty Spa and Body Works is a traditional massage combining stretching and pressure techniques to relieve tension and improve flexibility. Your therapist uses palms, thumbs, elbows and feet to apply rhythmic pressure along the body, then guides you through assisted stretches that open the hips, back, shoulders and neck.
The treatment is performed clothed, without oil, in a private room at our spa at Abraham Plaza, Utako. It is one of the massage options on our Google Business Profile and is available for women and men.
Pressure and Stretching Together
Most massages work on the muscle where it sits. Thai massage also lengthens it. After the pressure work loosens the tissue, the stretches take each joint through its range, which is why clients who spend long hours seated or driving around Abuja feel taller and looser afterwards.

A client on thai massage
"I had been searching for a good spa near me in Abuja for a while and finally booked a deep tissue massage at Shosho Beauty Spa and Body Works in Utako. The spa is inside Abraham Plaza, easy to find from Wuse 2, and there was free parking, which made the visit stress free. From the moment I arrived the reception was warm and the place was spotless. Before starting, They explained exactly what the treatment would involve and asked where I was holding tension, which I appreciated. The massage itself was [firm and focused on my shoulders and lower back, with warm oils, and I walked out feeling lighter than I had in months. I also had the steam bath afterwards, which was the perfect finish. Prices were fair for the quality, and they have their own skincare products, so I picked up the face cream to use at home. If you are in Utako, Jabi, Gwarinpa or anywhere in Abuja and looking for a massage near me that actually delivers, this is the place. Booking ahead by WhatsApp was quick and I already have my next appointment set."
