Fine Balance Massage by Annie Turner is a massage therapist in Takaka, in Golden Bay in the Tasman district, with a 5.0 Google rating.
A good massage therapist works with your body on the day, not from a fixed routine. They will ask how you have been feeling, where you are tight and what you are hoping for, then adjust pressure and technique as they go. You will be covered with towels throughout, and you are welcome to ask for a change at any time. After a session, many people feel looser, but some feel a little sore if deeper work was done, which usually settles within a day. Regulars drink water afterwards, avoid hard exercise straight after and tell the therapist about injuries, pregnancy or medication beforehand. Booking ahead helps, especially in busy summer months.
Takaka is the main town in Golden Bay, so this listing suits locals and visitors wanting a treatment without crossing Takaka Hill.
