Elemental Body Therapies

Father’s Day is coming up soon, and we have the gifts that every body appreciates: massage vouchers! Dad deserves a bit of relaxation - or some deep tissue work to get rid of that tension.

With 30, 45, 60, and 90-minute sessions available as e-gift cards, you can find and purchase the perfect present from the comfort of your couch. Head to the “Gift Cards’” tab at elementalbodytherapies.co.nz to find out more and purchase, Alternatively, arrange a time to come into our clinic at 14 Picton Street, Howick, for a handwritten gift certificate.

Many new clients are worried about what to expect when entering a massage room. Your privacy is of utmost importance to the Elemental team, and you can let your therapist know at any time if you are not comfortable with any position or technique.

You will always be properly draped to respect your privacy. It is entirely up to you how much clothing you take off for a massage; our therapists may make recommendations, but will always work to your comfort level.

Have you left a massage clinic just floating on air? It’s a common experience, and as massage therapists we love being able to turn our clients’ days around with a good session on the table.

Have a read of our latest blog to find out why this is - and why not book yourself a massage while you’re there? Link is in the comments!

Here’s your reminder to look out for poor lymphatic drainage! This heavy-hitting system is the one that maintains healthy fluid levels in your body, removes cellular debris, filters out bacteria, absorbs fat, and produces pathogen-fighting lymphocytes.

We’ve linked in the comments our blog that discusses the signs your lymphatic system is not working quite the way it should. Early treatment can make a difference.

Winter’s coming to a close, and for many Kiwis that means that their rugby, netball, football, basketball, or hockey seasons are coming to an end. What better way to close it out than with a massage?

A sports massage with our expert Liezl can reduce soreness, break down adhesions (knots), and increase range of motion. It’s a great way to recover after a long season and move on to summer cricket or softball with healthy, happy muscles.

The Emmett Technique is a safe and simple muscle release therapy developed by Australian massage and remedial therapist Ross Emmett. Based on the Chameleon Approach which recognises the need to tailor to unique needs and responses, it uses light pressure applied to specific areas of the body to create muscle release without pain.

Pain-free, gentle, and individualised. We love to explore any and all forms of massage and massage-adjacent therapy, so have sent Jennifer to do some training - watch this space for a new treatment option!
