Booked my appointment with Trish. Let me say she did not disappoint. She was just perfect. So perfect in fact that I went back every week until I left Sydney. I so wish I lived closer!

We had a table each and both come out feeling as equally disappointed with the results. As shopping centre massage shops go you get what you pay for. You will need to ignore the white noise from the centre and whilst the girl I had was far more enthusiastic than some she was pretty green in regards to experience. The tables are very firm and narrow. Good news is that with the heavy use of towels you want leave feeling like a seabird in an oil slick. If you want a simple rub down head on in. If you want something of use keep walking. They do cards,contrary to the sign at the counter preferring cash, and you can use your health fund as well. Not sure we will return with so many options.

Avoid this place, it is now known as Thairapeutic CBD Massage…read more(https://www.yelp.com/biz/thairapeutic-cbd-massage-sydney?osq=thairapeutic+cbd+massage). Last week went for a massage with a Korean lady called Hana (Hannah) and the massage was so rough and hard she had no idea on how to read a customer. The massage was so hard that I was moving and jumping that she did not even ask if I was ok or if it was too hard so the massage could be adjusted. I complained to the reception and all they could do is appologise. Even the extra service she became tired and complained her arms where getting sore and in the end gave up and said time is up. Then here's the catch, don't pay by card, they slap on a 10% surcharge. I wanted my comlaint to be escalated and all they said was they are sorry and accept the feedback and Jacob the manager would return a call to me. To this day almost a week after no return call. The massage itself was so hard that I ended up with buising for days. Avoid this business, they do not care about customer service, and it appears it's about money more than professionlism.

The overwhelming smell of tiger balm, the faux flowers and bells are all in abundance in the small space - there isn't an inch of space not covered in something kitsch. That said it isn't bad at all - it somehow just works. The staff are super friendly always greeting you with a smile. It is one of the better Thai massage places on the north shore and the north shore knows it. Even though you don't necessarily need a booking, 9/10 times when I've walked in I've been turned away. The massage itself is decent but my advice is to stick with traditional Thai massage - if you want remedial go to a proper masseuse. The Thai massage comes with the traditional foot soak, Thai pajamas and tiger balm and after an hour of stretching you'll feel great.

When it comes to massage, there's two schools…read more School A - The leisurely, serene, day spa-y style complete with dolphin sounds and relaxing music. School B - The quick, almost torturous, slightly grungy style with background noises of traffic or a busy shopping mall. I personally like both for different reasons, but usually find myself at school B because it's cheap and quick, meaning I can have a 20 minute neck and shoulder massage a couple of times a month if I need to. I was in Sydney and came across Acupoint on a hunt for a quick 20 minute neck and shoulder torture session to work out some tension. What struck me was that it was a notch above others I've visited, with massage beds to lie on , and a decent amount of cleanliness and hygiene (ie. the face pillow I rested on was first covered with a fresh cloth). Although I could still hear some shopping mall noise and the person in the next little "room" it was a much more relaxing experience than sitting upright under bright florescent lights as is the norm in this kind of place. But what really set it apart was Stephen who was really nice and very very good. His technique was excellent and he was able to work out little knots in my shoulders and neck using gentle but firm acupressure. I got up feeling excellent and very grateful!

They knew exactly how to fix me, no matter my ailment, and as the masseuse was an acupuncturist and herbalist as well, I trusted that he wasn't just kneading my muscles aimlessly, but knew the right buttons to push. I found this out on one particular visit to see Edward Chen. I came to see Mr Chen with a back injury (he specialises in sports injuries as well as herbs, acupuncture, massage and reflexology). My back had worsened and worsened until I couldn't bend to pick up a glass, let alone tie my shoelaces. I explained how I got the injury to Mr Chen, who in turn explained to me what he was going to do. "At one point you will ask me to stop," he explained. "I won't. I will keep going to fix you." I agreed without hesitation. As potentially frightening as this line could have been, I trusted Mr Chen and by this point was getting desperate. He was correct - at one point during the massage, with one thumb in a point in the back of my leg, I let out a scream and began crying hysterically, asking him to stop. This only lasted 10 seconds, but it was intense. As I calmed down, Mr Chen explained to me that the pressure point was also an emotional trigger - thus the crying. Leaving the massage room at the end of my session, I entered a room full of now apprehensive clients - I dare say I would be apprehensive too if I heard desperate pleas and screams coming from a room I was about to enter. My back was perfect the next day. Even now as I live in Lilyfield, I will travel to Ashfield for a massage from this man. I've never cried or been hurt again, so don't fear - this isn't a common experience. He has magic hands and the prices here are notably lower than at most other massage and/or acupuncture clinics in the city (full body massage for only $45). Highly Recommended.

But that afterwards, your muscles feel the most relaxed they've felt in years. There's no need to book (I don't even know if you can book), but it does get pretty busy, especially on a Saturday. If they can't fit you in straight away, they'll simply tell you to come back in an hour. This is not the place you come for a relaxing massage - there's no niceties such as calming music or soothing decor, and you're lucky if the massage therapist speaks even basic English. It's just table, lie down, massage - but if you want a deep, cheap massage that will work on all those knots, I'd definitely recommend it.

Beautiful scents enveloped me as I entered the store. Their shelves are filled with their own brand of essential oils, bath and shower soaps, shaving products, and more. According to Pure Botanicals, their purpose is to make health care easily accessible, affordable, and supportive. With this in mind, the staff is extremely helpful in suggesting natural methods to enhance one's health and wellbeing. I had a great experience at the store. Their line of men's products smells great, as it is not too fragrant. I purchased a face moisturizer to try, containing comfrey and marshmallow herbs, rosehip and Vitamin E Oil. It's pricey--around $40. Not only do they have many products (and an online store!), but also their in-store clinic offers many alternative treatments, including hypnotherapy, acupuncture, and massages. A seasoned professional in the field conducts each treatment.

Oh hello my local smelly shop!…read more I had no idea these guys has remedial massage available, or regular massage. As well as naturopaths and other holistic medicine practitioners. I was referred here by a friend who got a massage and said that they were good. So being that my neck is causing me all kinds of grief I thought I'd check them out. I'm glad I did. I've been going here for about 2 months now and Glendon has worked wonders on my neck and shoulders. I may have even fallen asleep during one of his sessions, ops! My bad. He's lovely and his knows his stuff. All the appointments happen under the shop where there's a lovely couched seating area with tea and coffee available while you wait for your appointment and you can watch the world go by through the double glass doors as you wait listening to relaxing background music. Upstairs they stock a whole range of amazing things, from candles, to burn sticks to oils and tea. They actually stock from one of my favourite tea places in here which has delighted me no end. So if you're walking past and have never gone in, go in and have a wonder.
