Traditional Chinese massage and targeted therapies are the focus at Ann’s Massage Centre & Acupuncture, where practitioners provide body massage with oil or dry techniques alongside acupuncture, reflexology, cupping therapy, scraping therapy (gua sha), and hot stone treatments. Sessions can be tailored for issues like neck and shoulder stiffness, lower back pain, sciatica, and headaches, with options extending to corporate massage, skin care, and nail care. Visitors frequently come in for firm neck and shoulder massage to release tension and ease pain, praising the respectful, welcoming team of male and female therapists who listen to personal preferences. However, experiences across the staff can be uneven, with an occasional visit falling flat when a session lacks the expected technique.
Located at Shop R46A along Maahanga Drive in The Base Parade—just to the right of Westpac and BNZ—the clinic offers extended late-night hours on Thursdays and Fridays until 9 PM, with standard 9 AM to 6 PM hours Monday through Wednesday and over the weekend. Our pick in Te Rapa for firm, restorative Chinese massage and cupping while running errands at The Base.
