Client Testimonials

"I have been a client of Karen’s over the last 2-3 years. As a professional rugby player, both the Canterbury Air New Zealand Cup and Crusader teams promote massage therapy as an effective form of recovery. Recovery is crucial in ensuring that I feel fresh and ready to take on the upcoming match. As far as professionalism and quality of massage, Karen provides a range of techniques to suit the client’s needs. Whether it be for rehabilitation, mobility, or general muscle soreness, I would highly recommend Karen as a massage therapist."
Colin Slade, Crusader

"I have been a client of Karen's for the past 3 years. Karen is an integral part of the wider support team that enables me to perform at my best out on the netball court. As an elite athlete recovery is very important and massage is a huge part of this. Karen is very professional and listens to the needs of her clients. I have found her extremely easy going and friendly to work with throughout this time. Karen also introduced me to Assisted Isolated stretching, which I have found as another valuable tool to aid with the recovery process. I highly recommend the service's that Karen provides."

I am nearing the end of my preparation for NZ Ironman 2008 in Taupo. Training 25hours a week you need an excellent Sports massage therapist. Karen Mcleod is this person Karen has been responsible for keeping me on the road for the last 9 months, and without her my body simply would not handle the training stresses I put it through. Without doubt she is the most professional massage therapist I have had the pleasure of using throughout my long distance triathlon career.

Karen has also introduced me to dynamic stretching and cold water therapy for training recovery. In conjunction with her fantastic deep tissue massage this has been the total package necessary to keep me in peak physical condition.

I have no hesitation in recommending Karen to you for all your sporting needs when it comes to active recovery and regular body maintenance.

"I first went to Karen for massage after a friend from the running community suggested her. Since my first appointment Karen has facilitated my recovery from training sessions in preparation for the weekends race. I enjoy the professional rapport Karen and I have built over time. Karen is able to adapt to your needs, whether it be a flush-out massage to aid recovery or deeper tissue work to prevent injury. Karen comes highly recommended! "
