Stone massage sounds more blissful than reflexology massage which was part bliss... part agony. I've never been that comfortable with the whole body-servicing thing where you're expected to pretend the person touching you is a machine and avoid eye contact and conversation. It was a whole other level with my husband being attended to at the same time but we managed to keep it together, apart from the finger popping which always makes me giggle. Anyway, turns out our services were worth quite a lot of money so it's probably a great gift idea and less an everyday thing (unless you're loaded). After reading Glenn M's review for this place, it's disappointing to see he wasn't told that Bliss provides an hour and a half free parking in the Atrium carpark; you just need them to stamp your ticket. Kind of essential info I would say.

After a stressful week I love coming to Hadtawach in Newmarket. They specialise in traditional Thai…read moremassage and beauty care. I love their massages because they're minimum an hour (which I feel is only just long enough to truly relax and unwind) and are affordable. Their massages are either 60 minutes, 90 minutes or 120 minutes. They do traditional Thai massages, aromatherapy massages, hot oil massages and my favourite the Swedish and sports massages. They also perform facials, body scrubs and hot stone spas. There is no need to book as they do accept walk ins. Before your treatment they kindly given you some green tea, and give your feet a quick scrub before showing you to your room. After your massage or beauty treatment they have another cup of green tea waiting with your shoes. Hadtawach is located down a funny old looking drive, but seriously, this place is 100% legit and I have only ever had a fantastic experiences here! I would recommend this place to anyone and everyone. If Newmarket isn't convenient and Freemans Bay is, there is another store located on College Hill.

When I first came to Flexa I was expecting a lot as it had come with an amazing recommendation. I made an appointment to see Murray and I was impressed. Murray is an extremely charismatic man and because of this every appointment with him was rather amusing. He is also a fantastic physio and is in very high demand. A session with Murray costs more than a session with any other physio at Flexa but it is worth it. He really takes the time to focus on your injury or problem and figure out a way to fix it. The other physios at Flexa are also very good. All of them know exactly what they're talking about and make you feel very comfortable. If you're like me and like your massages firm you may need to speak up about pressure at times but this is definitely the case with any physiotherapist. I have also had experience with the podiatry department at Flexa Clinic and all I can say is that it went very well! Very long story... but in the end I got exactly what I needed from Justin and I feel like he really took every possible action to help me out.

Murray Hing's reputation precedes him; he's really well-known for his physiotherapy work and embraces all sorts of treatments here from massage to acupuncture - he does it all. I used to get a lot of tension headaches from a neck problem and he sorted it right out, such a relief to see someone with so much experience and knowledge that can get straight to the cause of a problem. He's also quite selective with his staff so all the other physios there are really competent - now I only go for maintenance treatment and in my experience it really doesn't matter too much who treats you but it is good to have some continuation. Flexa Clinic might mostly be known for its physiotherapy but it also has a lot of other services. There's a podiatrist, nutritionists, massage therapists and midwives. They have a great ante and post-natal service that helps with all the new stresses on your body when you're pregnant. This compliments the midwifery branch of Flexa quite well. My midwife was one of the team of Hauraki Midwives, based in Flexa, and I found it really helpful to have everything here in one place. In the last couple of years the clinic has expanded to include Flexa Studio - a huge gym with great equipment, classes, and trainers, it's the health and fitness branch of Flexa that totally completes it.

I have been here once and that was one to many times. After sitting exams a girlfriend and I…read moredecided that it would be nice to get a massage to relax and distress us. Neither of us had heard of this place before, but after having left my girlfriend in charge of booking, this is the place we ended up heading to. When we came here there were no signs obviously indicating that this is a place to get massages. We walked up the old dirty looking staircase to find three women upstairs waiting for our arrival. I don't mean to be rude and criticise, but the entire time from finding the entrance to walking up the stairs, being lead into a bright little room and not having the lady leave while I was trying to get changed, I felt totally and utterly uncomfortable. I did not find the massage relaxing at all because the environment was not inviting what so ever. The music playing in the background was the radio which I felt was playing ads majority of the time. Also there was a good half metre to a metre gap between the ceiling and the walls dividing up the room. This allowed me to hear the man next door complain about how sore this ankle was. I didnt really appreciate hearing that when my main focus was to relax and unwind. I'm sure there will be some people out there who have had a nice experience here, however I personally felt incredibly uncomfortable and left more tense than I walked in. If you're after a therapeutic massage I personally wouldn't recommend coming here.

That means they can give a deep tissue massage, after which you feel a cross between exhilarated and exhausted. They respond to requests so if you need them to focus on a sore part of your body or go more gently then they will do that. This is not one of those places that puts emphasis on decor or atmoshere or ambience. But if you are looking for a top notch thai massage then Lisa and Phoebe cannot be beaten.

OMG, I can't say enough! This was in the commercial shopping levels of our hotel, which is…read moreaccessible from the street. We were walking around and I saw this massage place, went in, and grabbed a brochure. Several people in our party ended up getting massages. I called the day before and booked for 8:30 AM on a Saturday morning. My therapist was a young guy named Red, a doctor in massage therapy and acupuncture from China. He was AMAZING!!! I had no idea my head could be massaged like that!! It hurt so good! Red has very advanced, graduate degree massage technique. You should absolutely ask for him. He suggested acupuncture to increase blood flow to my brain, and I absolutely trusted him to do it. I wish I could go to him regularly, but alas! He is very talented and well-studied. At 60 NZD (about $40 USD) for 60 minutes, the massage is a STEAL. The acupuncture was an additional $45 NZD ($30 USD) which I gladly paid up with a generous tip. We also got to talking and Red has done a lot of hiking. My brother happened to be in China at the exact same time so Red made me a map of where to visit. Wonderful massage. Cannot recommend highly enough.

We were badly in need of something to help our aches n pains. Need I say more? Yes? Well then, Wayne Massage is also located directly below the Crowne Plaza hotel that happened to be where we were staying. My hubber and I almost tripped over each other trying to beat each other through the door! All was well as we both squeezed through the opening at the same time and found TWO avail therapists - whew! I had Lisa and opted for the 40 minute neck/shoulders/back combo & it was soooooo good, I couldn't get off the table. In fact I could quite happily have canceled our time in Auckland and just stayed there and let her keep working on my tired, aching torso. So that, tells you something! Hub was equally as enamored with his therapist, so much so, he forgot her name and could only sing of the blissful cushions he was now floating on - and that had replaced his 'squealing pigs' as he called them when he first begged for 40 minutes of reflexology. Between the two of us we were a new person! So weary travelers, do yourselves a favour and make time for a quick massage you will be thrilled you did! And Lisa, if you ever choose to come to FL or TN, look us up. We'll switch out free room and board for massage!
