❄️ What a week for frosts! ❄️

With months of cold-weather training, brisk winter mornings moving breaks, and standing on the sidelines at kids’ sports, it’s easy for tension to quietly build up in your legs. Prevention is always better than rehab.

Book a session with one of our experienced massage therapists today and keep moving smoothly through the rest of winter and into spring.

💆‍♀️ Our hours;

🧡 Philippa: Tuesday 9am-6pm

A lot of people are suffering from Influeza in the community, especially kids. As parents, we know how much life gets turned upside down when the flu hits the family. The sleepless nights, the constant coughing, the kids feeling miserable, taking time off work… it’s exhausting.

If you or your child are still struggling after the worst of the flu has passed – maybe the cough just won’t go away, the energy hasn’t come back, or you’re simply not bouncing back as quickly as you’d hoped – we’d love to help.

For the time being, Dr Zach is offering a free 30-minute consultation for anyone recovering from the flu.

If it’s appropriate for you, he’ll talk through whether Traditional Chinese Herbal Medicine may help support your recovery. Sometimes the fever is gone, but the body still needs a little extra help getting back on its feet.

Just send us a message or give the clinic a call （0800678366）if you’d like to book.

Take care of yourselves, and we hope everyone in our community is feeling better soon. ❤️

Most people have heard of cupping, but not everyone has seen traditional fire cupping.

Here’s a little look at Dr Zach using fire cupping during a treatment for back pain.

Over the past year, many patients struggling with sleep problems have experienced encouraging improvements through regular Traditional Chinese Acupuncture.

And yes—the key word is regular.

We usually recommend starting with three treatments per week, then gradually reducing the frequency according to your progress.

If you are struggling with insomnia, waking frequently during the night, restless or dream-filled sleep, or simply not feeling properly rested, you can book an appointment with Dr Zach for next week.

Start giving your sleep the care it deserves.

I’m back!

Earlier this year I took some unexpected time off after rupturing my Achilles, and recovery has been quite the journey. I’m incredibly grateful for all the support from my village throughout this time—especially with a toddler in the mix!

It’s been a season of healing, learning to walk again, and celebrating the little wins, like finally saying goodbye to the moon boot. I also kept busy studying towards my Level 6 Diploma in Remedial Massage through SIT, which gave me something positive to focus on while I recovered.

Recovery has reminded me that healing is rarely a solo journey. Alongside staying consistent with my rehab exercises at home, I've benefited from a combination of osteopathy, physiotherapy, Chinese medicine, and massage. It's given me an even greater appreciation for the value of having the right team around you to support your recovery.

Over the past couple of months, I’ve been easing back into work, and it feels great to be back treating clients.

For those who don't know me yet, here's a little about me. I'm a wife and mum to a busy 2½-year-old, and we live in West Otago where my husband and I run a crutching and mobile shearing business. I love keeping active through group fitness and lifting weights, and after a career in hospitality I followed my passion for massage therapy.

I've now been studying and working as a massage therapist for the last 2 years and I love helping people move better, recover well, and achieve their goals. My main focus is remedial and therapeutic massage, particularly for sports performance and injury recovery, while also offering relaxation massage for those looking to unwind.

With winter in full swing, now's a great time to book in for a maintenance massage if you're dealing with any aches or pains. Whether you're training for sport, recovering from injury, or simply looking after your body, I'd love to help keep you moving and feeling your best.

Looking forward to seeing you soon!

Still not feeling yourself after the flu? 🤧

For many people, especially children, the fever settles and it feels like the worst is over. But a lingering cough, sore throat, headaches, chills or fatigue can sometimes last for days or even weeks.

If these symptoms are still affecting your daily life after 10 days, it may be a sign that your body hasn’t fully recovered yet.

At our clinic, we often use traditional Chinese herbal tea to support recovery. Prepared using time-honoured methods, these herbal formulas are tailored to the individual rather than the symptom alone.

It’s not just about masking symptoms. We believe recovery is about helping your body heal, while relieving the symptoms that continue to affect your daily life.

You may recognise Yin and Yang from the famous Tai Chi symbol (☯️), but in Traditional Chinese Medicine it represents the body’s natural balance.

Yin and Yang represent the body’s natural balance. When they are in harmony, the body functions well. When that balance is disrupted, symptoms and illness can develop.

Take insomnia as an example.

Western medicine often focuses on helping people sleep.

Traditional Chinese Medicine asks a different question:

Why can’t you sleep?

Two people may both have sleep issues, but the underlying imbalance may be completely different. That’s why their acupuncture treatments may also be different.

TCM Acupuncture isn’t just about treating a symptom. Its goal is to help restore the balance of Yin and Yang, supporting the body’s natural ability to heal.
