Back In Action Therapeutic Massage is a team of therapists at 11 Maraenui Drive in Kerikeri, in the Far North. The practice works through therapeutic massage, fascial release and cranial sacral therapy, and has recently added osteopathy. Its therapists use myofascial release, neuromuscular techniques and trigger point therapy, with postural analysis and exercise advice. Treatments are offered as 30, 45, 60 and 90-minute therapeutic or relaxing massages, a chair massage for a quick back, shoulder and neck session, and a pregnancy massage tailored to each stage. Baby massage is taught one-to-one, so parents can learn it at home. A first appointment includes a history and postural assessment. The website lists opening hours from 9am to 6pm on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, and 9am to 5pm on Saturday, with bookings made by phone on 028 8523 2811.
Customers describe lasting relief from long-term shoulder pain, and say the therapists are very good at finding tender spots and working on them. One customer has been having massage regularly for over a year and says the therapist listens well and tailors each session. Another has seen several therapists and praises their diagnosis and support, and says the cranial work adds to the range. Reviewers mention trigger point work, finding pain points, and neck pain relief most often. Nearby comparisons are not in this listing's figures.
