You know when you see the words amazing and value in the name of a business that you think this is either going to be really good or one big disappointment.  You know what I mean, there’s always those ads on TV making these claims that suck you in and make you buy that set of ‘Last for Forever Non Stick Pots’.  Only to find out that after the first time you have used them they aren’t so amazing after all.

Well the other day I decided to finally do something about getting a massage, I have been back at the gym for the last month and need some extra help with getting all the knots out of my muscles.  So I wanted to find somewhere I could go to on a regular basis, because I knew this wasn’t going to be a one off quick fix.  I did my research and figured that there must be somewhere that Massage Therapists go to train and that it would be at discounted rate.

I was right and it’s called the ‘Amazing Value Massage’ and that’s exactly what it is.  Amazing Value and I was really pleased I went.   I had probably the best massage I have ever had and I will go back on a regular basis.  The best part about it is at $40.00 for what turned out to be about 1 hour 15mins, you can spend alot more than if you were to go to a Beauty Therapist or a fully trained Massage Therapist.

The surroundings are basic and it’s very clean and tidy, also your experience may differ depending on what Therapist you get.  But a $35.00 to $45.00 a pop you can afford to keeping trying them out,  till you are happy.  I hit the jackpot on my first go with a lady called Christine Gillespie who was fantastic.

This clinic was established many years ago to meet 2 key objectives: 1) to provide exceptionally well priced Massages to members of the public, on a regular full-time basis, at a price the reflects the training level of the Massage Therapists, and 2) to provide advanced students of The Wellington School of Massage Therapy with the opportunity to work in a central city clinic while they continue to study more advanced training. Open 7 days.
