Robyn Gross Massage Therapist is a massage practice at 5A Gebbie Road in Taradale, Napier. It offers sports massage, therapeutic massage, relaxation massage, Swedish massage and neuromuscular massage. Robyn trained after a career in the financial industry, and has been practising massage since 2002. Her training includes a diploma from the Wellington School of Massage, and she has spent many hours with sports teams. Sports massage is offered before or after an event, or during training to aid recovery. Neuromuscular massage, a specialised deep tissue treatment, is described for chronic pain. Her approach is tailored, with a focus on results.
Clients say Robyn makes them comfortable and asks questions to find out where to focus. One client who had tension in the back for more than 30 years was recommended a half-hour session first, so the therapist could see what the body needed. Clients say their joint problems have improved and that they move more freely. Some recommend the sports or deep tissue massage in particular, and say they leave feeling relaxed. Other massage therapists nearby are fewer, and the closest listed is Sharon Elsworth Massage Therapy, 0.4 km away. For someone in Taradale or Napier who wants a massage for sport or long-standing tension, the practice has a clear focus.
