Priya-TiwariMassage Therapist in Egmore, Chennai

Priya works in Egmore, which puts her within a few minutes of Egmore railway station, the Government Museum and the hotels along Pantheon Road. A large share of her bookings come from people who have just stepped off a train or are waiting on a connection, and she has built her schedule around that.

She has seven years of experience across Chennai and Pune, and is trained in Swedish, deep tissue, aroma oil and Thai dry massage. Thai is worth asking about if you have been sitting for hours on a train or a flight, because it is done clothed on a mat and works through assisted stretching rather than oil, which loosens stiff hips and shoulders faster than a standard oil session.

For guests who prefer conventional oil work she runs sixty or ninety minute sessions. She warms the oil first and keeps pressure even, checking with you as she goes. Travel stiffness sits mostly in the lower back, hips and neck, so tell her how long you have been travelling and she will plan the time accordingly.

Egmore is central enough that guests also come from Chetpet, Kilpauk, Purasawalkam and Nungambakkam. Being close to the station means she keeps late and early slots open, and she is used to guests who are working to a fixed window before a departure. Say what time you need to leave and she will keep to it.

Priya speaks Hindi, English, Tamil and Marathi. Sessions are private and one to one, linens are changed for every guest, and a shower is available afterwards. Bookings are by appointment so nobody overlaps in the waiting area.

Because so many of her guests are between trains, Priya keeps space for luggage in the room rather than asking you to leave bags at the station. If you have a narrow window before a departure, tell her the exact time you need to walk out and she will build the session around it, shortening the closing stretch rather than cutting into the work itself. She would rather turn down a booking than leave you rushing.
