Your Essential Wellbeing is a deep tissue, sports massage and manual mobilisation practice at 16 Paisley Street in Awapuni, Palmerston North. The website says that if you do not feel an improvement, the session is free. Single sessions are $65 to $155 and couples sessions are $200 to $290, as at 2026. Sessions usually run 30 to 90 minutes, and you choose the length. Hours are Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm, and Saturday, 9am to 12noon. For oil treatments, enough clothing is removed to reach the skin, and towels and sheets are used to keep people covered.
The practice is run by David, who the website says has around fourteen years at the massage table, and by Astarte, who has completed courses in Touch for Health, kinesiology and joint mobilisation. Reviewers describe the treatments as great, and the practitioners as friendly and fun. One says weekly sports massage during a training period helped them keep up their training volume. Another calls the deep tissue work firm and thorough.
