Table Thai Massage
Thai massage on a table instead of the floor, for anyone who finds it hard to get down onto a mat because of their knees or anything else, or who simply prefers a bed.
Nuad Thai · Monroe Street, Madison
Thai massage, the way it's done in Thailand.
Acupressure, assisted stretching and rhythmic compression on a floor mat, from a team trained by a therapist who learned it in Bangkok more than twenty years ago.
Traditional Thai massage
Harmony between body, mind and spirit
Traditional Thai massage is an ancient healing art practiced throughout Thailand, where people receive it for preventative care, recovery from injury and pain. Pressure along the body's energy lines releases tension in the joints and muscles, while assisted yoga-like stretches, rocking and rhythmic compression open the body back up.

Thai Foot Massage with Kay
Thai foot massage with the owner. Kay trained in Bangkok over twenty years ago and taught Thai foot massage for many years. She is semi-retired and takes a limited number of clients.
Thai Herbal Ball Massage
Luk pra kob, from traditional Thai medicine: warm herbal compresses pressed along the body help muscles relax quickly. Turmeric, used by Thai women for centuries, purifies and soothes the skin, and prai leaves it soft and smooth. The 90-minute session uses two herbal balls.

The owner
Kaori "Kay" Nelson
Kay first received Thai massage while living in Japan, and it worked so well that she went to Thailand to learn it, taking three courses at the Wat Po Traditional Medical School in Bangkok. She ran a Thai massage shop in Japan before moving to America, studied Western massage in Madison, and taught Thai massage in Madison College's massage program for years.
Today she runs D-CHAI, teaches her own 100-hour course, and still takes a few clients herself.
Western massage
Swedish, deep tissue, hot stone
For relaxation or for real work on a problem. Add head, neck and shoulders, or an extra thirty minutes, when you book.
Deep Tissue Massage
Designed to release severe tension in the muscles and the connective tissue below the surface, to improve range of motion and help injuries heal.
Head, Neck & Shoulders
Focused work on the head, neck and shoulders, for stress, tension and headaches. Book it on its own, or add it to any massage.
Hot Stone Massage
Smooth heated stones, oiled and used as an extension of the therapist's hands, let warmth relax the muscles more deeply. Deeply calming and centering.
Hot Towel Swedish
A Swedish massage with hot towels.
Prenatal Massage
Massage for the special needs of expecting mothers, with specially designed cushions and side-lying positions so there's no pressure on the abdomen.
Swedish Massage
The classic: oil or cream with smooth, gliding strokes and firm but gentle pressure, to ease muscle tension and let you slip into a calm state of relaxation. Short on time? The 45-minute session focuses on one or two spots.

Testimonials
In our clients' words
★★★★★
I look for massage therapy trying to address physical problems, more so than relaxing feel-good treatments, and this place consistently delivers.
Brian R., Deep tissue massage
★★★★★
I always feel like D-CHAI is a place of healing and more productive than physical therapy often times. Yes, you can get a relaxing massage, but more importantly you can get a wellness massage.
Marll T., Swedish massage
★★★★★
Even when my body is in open rebellion, the effects shine through a day or two later. Leila does a fantastic job and is wonderfully intuitive during a session.
Joseph W., Thai massage, 120 minutes
★★★★★
If you are looking for a true and accurate massage of your feet, this is the place.
Peter E., Thai foot massage
