Office warriors and cubicle farmers, we all know the affliction of our trade. Mac Back. Tight…read moreNecks. Strained Shoulders. Ammiright? Well, Boran must have known I was suffering from my particular strain of Mac Back pretty bad and finally after a few months of regularly driving past their Ashgrove clinic (It's on Wardell Street on the stretch between Enoggera and Ashgrove), I finally booked an appointment. I could book online so they were already winning in my book. Then, I discover for December only they had 20% off all remedial massages. Two out of three checks in the "heck yes" box. After completing the standard new client paperwork, I was shown to the treatment room. The Ashgrove clinic isn't full of frills but that's not what you're hear for. This isn't a day spa experience where you're paying just as much for their on-call interior designer as you are the treatment. No, Sir. This is 100% about the treatment. My therapist conducted an initial assessment of how I was sitting, my neck and then we were underway. She focused on the key pain points but was also upfront and honest that in one 60min treatment we wouldn't get to address everything. Even so, I walked out of Boran 60 minutes later feeling far more relaxed and at ease than I had in weeks. They've got Hi-Caps on site which means you're only paying the gap from your health fun and did I mention online booking?

My wife took it upon herself to enroll in the Bridal Bodies sessions they have there. As the weeks counted down to our wedding she lost the weight she wanted and has kept it off ever since. I've been there a few times for some PT sessions and boxing classes and the staff there are always supportive and do their best to push you within your capabilities. If you live around the Stafford Heights area I definitely recommend it.

I recommend Chi-Link when you need some quick massage / reflexology to work out a kink or a bit of pain. I do not recommend Chi-Link for relaxation massage. Chi-link serves up acupressure massage, which can (for me) teeter on the line between pleasure and pain as it lends itself to a firmer massage. (Do get them to apply accupressure to your ears - that is divine!!) However, do not be afraid to speak up to the therapists if it's too firm for your liking. There are 3 locations inside the Cherminator, so you've got a great chance to walk - up & be attended to immediately by friendly staff. The stalls are formed by curtains, so it's not the quietest experience you'll ever have, but then you're not expecting a day-spa, are you?

Tucked away into a relatively quiet corner of Chermside Westfield, Chi Link is a private haven of peace and wellness. I've only ever gotten the 20 minute massage, but for $25 I've got to say it's very good value for money. If you tell them to go hard they will take no prisoners - you may emerge feeling a little battered but trust me it's pain with gain.

My husband had a 60 minute deep tissue massage with Tim. He said it was the best massage he has ever had. It was executed perfectly and all his aches and pains were gone. Tim was thoughtful and asked lots of questions and made sure frequently if he was ok. He definitely plans on going back. His recommendation was so good that I might just make a booking myself! He told me to give them 5 out of 5!

This is exactly what happened this weekend and I have no regrets. For $25 I happily settled on a 20min neck and shoulder massage. It isn't a day spa so don't expect a lot of frills and the staff are still friendly (or so I found). I was led to the massage table and lay down before a few cloths were placed over me. There's no oils (unless you've selected that option) or unrobing so it's a quick starting point. My masseuse started working on the knots in my shoulder and all my tension started melting. It wasn't long before I was a relaxed heap on the massage table. She was very understanding and responsive when I mentioned the pressure on my neck at one point was too hard. Yes, you are in a shopping centre and there is the sounds of people passing by. To be honest, though, it all kind of blurs into white noise and with a little focus it's not a detractor from the massage. 24 hours on and my neck and shoulders feel looser than they have in a long time, and at $25 a pop it's something I can easily consider on a weekly basis! They don't currently have private health rebates on the spot but we were told that they will in a month or so.

This is really a no-frills service. If you're doing a foot massage, the masseuse wipes off the massage cream with kitchen paper towels. The water used for soaking feet is plain, no herbs or scent added. The cream used is also no frills. No fancy towels or beds. Their beds are solid wood laid with checked sheets. BUT, having said all that, the techniques are top-notch. I've been to other massage places within the mall where I have to remember the name of a good masseuse if I come across because I get different results each time with different people.However at Happy Foot, no matter who I get, I'm guaranteed of absolute relaxation and relieved knots. The staff seem very diligent everytime I visit - they don't stare out and watch the shoppers pass by when massaging their clients, as other massage shops do. They focus on getting the right pressure and results. They may glance out now and then, but that's perfectly fine - don't we all get distracted at work? What I REALLY like is their face piece. As someone with a small head, I either get the oval impressions on my forehead with regular facepieces or just feel very very uncomfortable when the edges of the facepiece presses against different parts of my face. At Happy Foot, they use a spongy, faux leather bound face piece support so that your face doesn't just hang down against the face piece. Besides supporting my face, it also has a 'cheek piece' so that the weight of my face is evenly distributed. Love it! I've gone there a few times now and have enjoyed every session.
