A holistic health practice on Bridge Street in Nelson, offering massage, acupuncture, traditional Chinese medicine and osteopathy under one roof. Ruru Remedial Care is on the ground floor of the Nelson Evening Mail Building, at 15 Bridge Street. The website describes therapeutic massage, acupuncture, traditional Chinese medicine and osteopathy, with personalised treatments. The massage options listed are sports, deep tissue, therapeutic, relaxation and Swedish massage. The lead massage therapist has a diploma in therapeutic massage and 22 years' experience as a remedial therapist, and uses deep pressure and trigger point work. Relaxation sessions include hot towels and soothing strokes. Two osteopaths work at the practice, and the website says osteopathy works on the soft tissues, joints and nervous system, and can be used for headaches, digestive problems and more. Traditional Chinese medicine and acupuncture are offered by a therapist who has recently returned to Nelson after 15 years in Wellington. Vouchers can be bought online.
The practice says it is reducing one massage therapist's hours for the rest of 2026, and is looking for another therapist to join the team.
