Radiance Face & Body is a massage therapist at 9 Waterview Rd in Stanley Point, on Auckland's North Shore. It has a 5.0 rating on Google and a website. The name suggests facial and body treatments as well as massage.
A good massage therapist starts by asking about your aches, injuries, medical history and what you want from the session, then adjusts pressure and technique to suit. Expect to undress to your comfort level, be draped with a towel and be checked in with during the session, and speak up if the pressure is too light or too firm. When choosing a therapist, ask about qualifications, the type of massage on offer, such as relaxation, remedial or aromatherapy, and how long a session lasts. Regulars know that drinking water afterwards helps, that you may feel a little sore the next day after deeper work and that telling the therapist about medication, pregnancy, allergies to oils or recent injury is important. In New Zealand, ACC may cover treatment for some injuries, so ask whether it applies. Check the website for treatments and how to book.
