A massage clinic at 29 Donegal Street in Cromwell, run by a therapist who graduated with a Bachelor of Therapeutic and Sports Massage in 2014. The clinic offers three kinds of session. Therapeutic massage is aimed at specific goals and can be a standalone treatment or part of a wider plan, and sessions may begin with a health assessment so the treatment suits the client. An hour is best for a first visit, and 30 minutes is suggested for follow-ups. Sports massage is for athletes of all levels, from professionals to weekend warriors, before an event to help prevent injury or afterwards to keep muscles from tightening. Relaxation massage uses long, flowing strokes at a slower pace and lighter pressure. The techniques used include neuromuscular therapy, acupressure, trigger point work, myofascial vacuum cupping and sports massage.
The clinic is open on Monday from 10am to 2pm, and on Tuesday and Thursday from 9:30am to 5pm. Within a kilometre, the nearest other massage therapist is Henkiwellbeing Massage Cromwell, which also has a 5.0 rating and more reviews. Mend Massage describes itself as a trusted and experienced clinic that suits both people seeking therapeutic work and athletes. The therapist also says regular massage can help with stress, posture, body awareness and sports injury prevention.
