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

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.

Muscle Maintenance

Deep tissue massage is not reserved just for athletes. If you are active, whether it be at work or out and about, deep tissue massage can be a fast way to bring you out of pain and back to a happy, mobile body.

We can also help if you have a physical job.  Our truck driver clients, builders, tradesmen and many other people in physical professions find what we do, a great investment of their money and time.

Injury Prevention

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.

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

Massage therapy in experienced hands is one of the fastest, most effective ways to prevent injury when active.

Sports Training

For 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 increases your physical recovery rate dramatically, so 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;

*  If you have increased your training intensity, we target opening and releasing large tensions  areas to give you the greatest mobility possible.

*  If you have adapted your training regime to include other disciplines and your body is struggling to cope, we can use the benefits of acupressure to open up many levels to make the new muscles work more efficiently

*  If you have trailed off your training in preparation for the event, we flush your body thoroughly to take away any potential toxins which may hold you back or cause you pain during the even.

*  If you have finished the event, we combine a complete body flush with gentle acupressure to cleanse the body of toxins and stimulate the natural processes of recovery.

We’ve got good news.

What you get from us is our blend of tailored deep tissue, sports massage treatments and acupressure,  which targets tight muscles quickly without the need for long winded stretching exercises.

Our sports massage is proven to be fast, minimally invasive and effective, to find out what people say, click here
