The Body Mechanic is a studio that combines personal training and group fitness with massage, at 83 Wallacetown Lorneville Highway in Lorneville, Invercargill. It was formerly known as Ryding 2 Health. The website says it offers relaxation, sports and therapeutic massage, plus lymphatic drainage, and that its therapists are available online for injury and pain assessments. One therapist, a former triathlete, now specialises in injury-specific massage, according to the website. The massage and the training sit in the same studio, so a session can follow a training plan.
Reviewers mention deep tissue massage most often, followed by training advice, lymphatic massage, pressure and relaxing sessions. One reviewer says the massage and communication were great. Another has been seeing a therapist for about two months, and says they are always kind and welcoming, and make sure the treatment meets their needs. One reviewer found the first session took at least 15 minutes longer than expected, even after filling in the online form, so the experience is mixed.
