Upstairs at 27 Saint Andrew Street, above Paasha in Dunedin Central, Massage Dunedin is a clinic that shapes each treatment around the client's needs and the pressure they want. Its website lists sports, remedial, relaxation, dry needling, pregnancy, hot stone, cupping and myofascial release massage, and some therapists also offer reflexology, craniosacral therapy and lymphatic drainage. Remedial and sports massage work on the deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue, which suits stiff necks, upper backs, low back pain and sore shoulders. Pregnancy massage can be given during or after pregnancy, and a session typically lasts an hour or an hour and a half. Packages and loyalty cards give regular clients discounted prices, and the first visit includes a consultation so the therapist can suggest the right approach.
