MASSAGE THERAPY
in West Auckland

Applying sustained pressure using long deep slow strokes to muscles and connective tissue, reduces tension in muscle tissue.  It increases blood flow and aids healing as well as promotes relaxation.

Massage therapy at Waitākere Health Hub is more than just relaxation. Our trained massage therapists use a range of techniques to help reduce pain, release tension, and support recovery — whether you’re managing injury, stress, pregnancy changes, or muscle tightness from training.

We take a clinical, integrated approach — working alongside our osteopaths, acupuncturists, and movement specialists to help you feel better and move with ease.

Pregnancy & Postpartum

​Pregnancy massage offers safe, tailored support for the unique changes in your body during each trimester. Our therapists are trained in positioning and safety, and can adapt to your needs at all stages.

Common reasons for massage in pregnancy:

  • Lower back or pelvic pain

  • Swelling in legs or feet

  • Shoulder and neck tension

  • Sleep difficulty or stress

  • Emotional release and relaxation

  • A general treat for yourself before you become a number 1 carer.

We also support postpartum recovery — helping you unwind, restore alignment, and care for your body after birth with osteopathy and acupuncutre care.

Therapeutic Sports Massage for Active Bodies

Therapeutic Remedial Sports massage may help with:

  • Muscle soreness and fatigue

  • Range of motion and flexibility

It’s also a great companion to osteopathy, Pilates, or Infrared sauna and Red light therapy.

Massage for Stress, Sleep & Nervous System Health

Massage has powerful effects on the nervous system. For many, it’s an essential part of managing stress, burnout, anxiety, and poor sleep. By stimulating the parasympathetic system (“rest and digest”), massage helps calm the body and restore equilibrium.

Massage can support:

  • Nervous system regulation

  • Insomnia and disrupted sleep

  • Anxiety or emotional strain

  • Headaches and jaw tension (TMJ)

  • Chronic fatigue or burnout symptoms


It’s also a great companion to acupuncture and osteopathy.
