Top Notch Bodyworks in Massey offers osteopathy, clinical massage and Rongoā Māori in one place, in Shop 4 at 402 Don Buck Road. The osteopathy is ACC registered and Southern Cross Easy-Claim is accepted, and you can book straight in with no GP referral. The osteopaths look at the whole problem rather than just the symptom, and they treat back pain, neck pain, headaches and injuries that are not improving. Massage covers pregnancy, sports, therapeutic and relaxation work.
Osteopathy sessions come in three lengths: 45 minutes for one area such as the back or shoulders, 75 minutes for more than one issue, and 90 minutes for a first visit or a complex, long-term problem.
People who have been treated say the therapists are lovely and experienced, and that the massage is tailored to their needs. One client calls the osteopath one of the best they have seen, for listening well and for care. Others say the firm manipulations make a lasting difference, especially with the exercises the osteopath gives them to do at home.
Bookings are made online, six days a week.
