What people are saying about usHere's comments from some happy clients. You can read more on our Facebook page: Bebe F. "Rachel really knows her stuff. I came to her with a very sore neck and shoulder, and she was able to hone straight in on the specific muscles and spots that needed attention. I went into the session feeling like my shoulders were up around my ears - very tense and very painful. I left feeling much lighter! Today, no pain, and a lot of relief. I highly recommend Rachel for therapeutic massage, or even if you just need a good relaxation massage. The thermal stone treatment is a lovely treat too, it left my muscles feeling soft and supple. I'm a convert." 10 January 2012, via email Sam S. (fighter in the Fight For Christchurch) "Rachel has been keen to take part in the fight, so when she heard that I was nursing a few injuries, she jumped at the chance to help out. I've been going to her regularly over the last three months, and she has fixed niggles in my hand, back, neck and legs, among other things. I highly recommend her." 25 November 2011, The Press online Nick D. “I have had trouble with a recurring knee injury for several years (diagnosed as patella tendonitis), and tended to avoid exercises that would cause more pain as a result, while having to wear a knee brace for all exercise. Since moving to Christchurch for work (post-earthquakes), and the ensuing weight gain, it became clear that more exercise was needed. As part of the recovery from this I decided to try massage therapy, something I had previously ignored. From the first impression on the website, to the first meeting and on-going treatment, I have found Rachel to be extremely professional, very friendly, and at the same time providing valuable advice and insight into my recovery and exercises etc. I can try. Rachel quickly identified that the issues with my knee were actually related to adhesion of the myofasical layer, and with a few sessions of work on the knee, I am now able to exercise freely and haven’t needed the knee brace for over 2 months. We have since worked on several other niggling areas with success. Thank you Rachel, I highly recommend you to anyone.” 17 November 2011, via email Catherine G. “Rachel is amazing at easing all my aches and pains. She explains what she is doing and ensures that she takes into account all my complexities from having chronic health conditions. A wonderful experience.” 11 November 2011, LinkedIn Reece M. “Rachel has given me better understanding of my body especially in my trouble areas. She has also given me the knowledge to help myself which along with the sessions has reduced my pain significantly, something that none of the other numerous professionals I have visited or pain killers were able to do. Would definitely recommend her. 10 November 2011, via email Kelvin Y. “Rachel has great depth of knowledge with the service she provided. The consultation/therapy session comes with clear understandable diagnosis of the symptom and the course of treatment she'll undertake and any self-help exercises to help preventing the symptom to reoccur or worsen in the future.” 3 October 2011, LinkedIn Oliver M. “I went to see Rachel after my stroke and she has worked wonders with my various muscle-related issues. She has found the cause and worked diligently to resolve the issue. She struck just the right balance between professionalism and friendliness. I heartily recommend her for any massage-related work and believe she can provide results that ordinary physio's can't. Her business is very "switched on" with online bookings, web-based gift vouchers and EFTPOS facilities making the whole process very simple.” 22 September 2011, LinkedIn Tim K. “Rachel is a professional and results focussed massage therapist, who listens to her clients and tailors treatment to their specific needs. I would recommend her to anyone.” 15 September 2011, LinkedIn Lisa S. "Rachel has a very relaxed and approachable manner that puts you at ease quickly. She provides a great massage service where I come away with knots gone and a deep feeling of well being. She also questions, listens and provide suggestions and ideas that I can work on in your own time to assist recovery or improve results. I highly recommend her services" 22 August 2011, LinkedIn Ben K. “As a (very) amateur but pretty driven runner, I'm always on the lookout for ways to improve my performance. A few weeks before running my first full marathon I contact Rachel who I'd known previously, to ask whether sports massage would help me. I've always been a little reluctant to invest in massage and the like - preferring to battle through the pain and just do longer and longer miles. Rachel showed me how quality is more important than quantity and specifically helped with some niggling pain issues I'd been having for quite some time. Rachel is a professional therapist who has a deep understanding of sports and it's impacts on physiology. I would recommend Rachel for anyone looking for a friendly, professional and relaxed massage therapist.” 9 August 2011, LinkedIn Kama B. “As someone who has simply put up with a lot of joint and muscle pain most of my life without obtaining proper treatment, a therapeutic massage was always something I wanted to try but never seemed to get around to. After the Canterbury earthquakes of 2010/2011, my stress levels were at a high, I was working long, physical hours, and I felt like my body was on the verge of shutting down. One session with Rachel at Bodyworks was all it took to convince me of the benefits of massage therapy. I walked out of my session feeling like a new person, able to freely move limbs and joints again that were previously extremely seized up and sore. Rachel was able to identify and treat problem areas in my body that I wasn’t even aware of. I have since also had a thermal stone massage which was one of the most relaxing experiences of my life and I would highly recommend for stress relief! Rachel was professional and thorough in all aspects of her work, from the simple online booking process, to assessment, to the massage itself, and offered sound practical advice for treatments I could perform myself at home, which were much appreciated. It is my pleasure to give this endorsement of Rachel and Bodyworks Massage Therapy, and I will certainly be returning myself for more sessions, as should you!” 9 August 2011, LinkedIn If you'd like to make a recommendation or comment about our services, please email us or complete the form below - we'd love to hear from you. |
