I came in not knowing what to expect of a Deep Tissue massage.  Megan’s ability to relax me and also hit all those pressure points was Brilliant!  I’m coming back for more!

Stef’s massages really loosen up my muscles and I feel great afterwards.  Her treatments have helped me and it’s great how Stef really cares about the patient, always looking to help.

Dee participated in the 2013, 2014 and 2015 Tauranga Half Ironman and this is what she wrote:

(2013) Hi Stef, Some feedback for you.
I had an awesome race, and what a massive surprise – No back problems for the first time in 5 years! ..so the wonderful stretching and massage have helped.  Thank You!
I also placed 3rd in my age group and 13th overall. I exceeded that I set out to do.
Thanks again,    Dee Lack

Dee is still a valued client and has since won Gold in her age group at 2015 Port Of Tauranga Half Ironman and Gold at 2015 NZ National Sprint Champs
 
 

I’ve been to many massage therapists for a sport massage,  most of them are ‘hit and miss’ but Stef hits the nail on the head every time with knowing my muscles and how to get them relaxed.

I’m competing again in New Zealand Ironman competition, and an expert sports massage is a necessity.

Have you ever been for a run, ride or swim where you were completely in the ‘zone’?

It was smooth, it was rhythmical, it was effortless wasn’t it?   It was so much fun because it seemed natural.  It felt like your body was doing what is was born to do, because there was so much ease.

Here’s a question:   Would you like to have that much freedom and ease every time you exercised?

When you ask your body to move, it delivers without question.  It gives and it gives quite happily, that is, until things get a bit out of balance.

Specialised sports massage allows you to maintain balance with your body. During the appointment, we can share with you tips and knowledge you may not already know – to imrpove how you and your body can work in greater harmony.

 

Muscle Maintenance

older-sportsmanDeep tissue massage is not reserved just for athletes. Active people too benefit from deep tissue massage.  It can be a fast way to bring you out of pain and back to a happy, more mobile body.

In a physical job?  Our truck driver clients, builders, tradesmen and other people in very physical professions find what we do, a great investment of their money and time.

Injury Prevention

“Prevention is better than a cure” a wise man once said.  And it is true.

When most people think about sports massage, it’s usually to do with preparing for a big event like a triathlon, sporting game or race.  You may be among the many walkers, runners, cyclists and swimmers who are out and around Mount Maunganui every weekend.

Sports Training

sports-jumpingFor the more serious sportspeople, massage is a necessity if you want to be at the top of your game.  Often sports training is intense and there is just not the time for your body to recover naturally.

Our approach of sports massage and acupressure, with using natural anti-inflammation waxes dramatically decreases recovery time, so down-time is short and you stay at your best easily.

Preparation for an Event

When you have a sporting event on the horizon, you go into a whole new zone.  Your training regime may change, your eating habits may adapt, and your body will be under increasing stress.

The great thing about what we do is that we can customise your massage treatment to exactly what you need;

Preparing for a big event, we flush your body thoroughly, taking away potential toxins which may hold you back or cause you pain.

After finishing the event, we combine a complete body flush with gentle acupressure to cleanse the body of toxins and stimulate the natural processes of recovery.
