SensaThaimassage&spa Manuka

SensaThaimassage&spa Manuka is a massage and spa venue in the upstairs Style Arcade on Franklin Street, offering a broad treatment list rather than a single signature style. Services include remedial, deep tissue, traditional Thai, Thai massage with oil, relaxation and prenatal massage, along with back, neck, shoulder and head treatments. Foot reflexology is also available, with the longer sessions including a neck, shoulder and head massage. Remedial massage may be eligible for a private health fund rebate, although the venue advises guests to check provider eligibility in store and bring their original health insurance card.

The spa’s more specialised options include hot stone remedial massage, hot stone relaxation massage, body scrubs and facial treatments. Its packages combine treatments for a longer visit, such as a foot massage with body or remedial massage, a mini facial with massage, or a body scrub, rinse-off and facial alongside a body treatment. The website also lists a loyalty card for full-price massages and online gift vouchers, making the venue suitable for someone looking to give a massage or spa experience rather than a physical gift.

Sensa describes its treatment rooms as private and serene, and customer feedback on the site highlights a quiet setting, friendly staff and a relaxing atmosphere. The therapists are described as specialty trained and able to tailor treatments to individual needs. Traditional Thai massage uses pressure-point work and stretching, while the Thai oil option combines Thai techniques with a gentler oil massage and finishes with foot and scalp work. The venue also offers prenatal massage, described as a supportive treatment for easing tension and back discomfort during pregnancy.

The range makes Sensa a practical choice for solo appointments, from targeted remedial work to a slower relaxation treatment. Packages and group bookings are available through the online booking system, while the private rooms may appeal to people wanting a more secluded visit. It is open seven days, from 10am to 8.30pm, and appointments can be made online or by phone. The venue is located at Shop 17B, Level 1, Style Arcade, 14–16 Franklin Street, Manuka, Canberra.
