Book this treatmentPrice and duration
Acupuncture Add-on · $40 · 20 min; Needle-Free Add-on · $40 · 20 min
Available only as an add-on to ACC acupuncture or a 30-minute massage appointment. Not available as a standalone online booking.
You can discuss shoulder or back discomfort, leg tension, soreness after activity or the demands of physical work. Assessment comes first so we can consider whether massage is suitable or another approach is more appropriate. This is focused therapeutic care rather than a relaxation massage.
Nyx asks about your symptoms, injury history and current activity before agreeing a treatment focus. Hands-on techniques and pressure are adjusted to your comfort and response. Tell us if pressure is uncomfortable so it can be changed. We may also discuss practical activity guidance within your care plan.
Sports & Therapeutic Massage is $60 for 30 min; Acupressure & Meridian Massage is $60 for 30 min. Choose the approach that suits your needs; massage is booked one appointment at a time.
Tell us about recent injuries or surgery, medicines and any health conditions that could affect treatment. New unexplained swelling, major injury or rapidly worsening symptoms need medical assessment before massage. We will explain when GP or other care is appropriate. If you already have an ACC claim, ACC acupuncture is a separate option and eligibility must be confirmed.

Founder · Senior Acupuncturist · ACC Provider
A healthcare background since 2012, with a gentle, comfort-focused approach that starts with listening and shared decisions.
We begin with your situation, explain treatment options, fees and possible responses, and start only with your agreement. You do not need to work out the right treatment on your own.
Pressure is discussed with you and adjusted to comfort and response. More pressure is not automatically the right choice.
