Our health & wellbeing services
Massage Therapy
We are lucky to have two brilliant remedial massage practioners here at Ruru Remedial Care, Tralee Clark and Maree Strange both with Dip Therapeutic Massage from the NZ College of Massage.
With a combined 50 years experience as remedial therapists, you can trust you are in good hands.
Both have the skill set to assess and treat muscular issues causing discomfort, pain and restrictions. Both are strong therapists that can use deep massage pressures and trigger point therapy to alleviate tension.
We also understand the need to just relax and calm the mind, so we can also do a calmer, slower more gentle relaxation massage if that's what you need.
Alongside their remedial massage grounding both have added unique skill sets, Tralee with deep tissue and sports massage, Maree with aromatherapy, lymphatic drainage and pregnancy massage.
​"Our aim is to help you have a body that can cope with the physical stresses of life, and a mind that enjoys a pain free body". ​​
Osteopathy
We have two gifted & skilled Osteopaths, Donna Cornelius and Andre Habib here at Ruru.
Donna and Andre have different skill sets and individual styles of treatment, both absolutely brilliant.
​
Osteopathy works to restore health and function to the body via manipulation of the soft tissues (ligaments, muscles and tendons), joints and nervous systems.
​
Osteopathy can be used to treat not just dysfunctional or stiff joints but also headaches, bladder issues, menstrual cramps and digestive problems and much more.
Donna has further training in acupuncture and Andre has training in viseral osteopathy.
