A massage practice on Papanui Road in Strowan, Christchurch, that describes its work as massage therapy that aims to relieve pain and tension and to trace problems to their cause. The treatments include deep tissue massage, back pain release, sports massage, acupressure, stretch therapy, myofascial release, trigger point therapy and relaxation massage. Myofascial cupping is offered as well, with the cups moved over the skin under suction. The practice says the cupping leaves circular bruising that can last two to eight days, and that it is not painful.
The sports massage is aimed at conditioning, circulation and recovery, and the practice gives advice on nutrition and stretching. Aromatherapy oils can be added to a session for a relaxing, all-over treatment. Clients book through the website.
