Our health & wellbeing services

Massage Therapy
Tralee Clark is Ruru Remedials lead massage therapist.
With a Diploma of Therapeutic Massage from the NZ College of Massage attained in 2004 and 22 years experience as remedial therapists, you can trust you are in good hands.
Tralee has the skill set to assess and treat muscular issues causing discomfort, pain and restrictions.
Sometimes in this busy world the best thing for body and soul is a relaxing destress massage and Tralee is master of these, no talking, good music, hot towels and soothing strokes to calm the system, still firm enough to ease any tension. A massage that makes you feel like smiling.
As a strong therapist Tralee can use deep massage pressures and trigger point therapy to alleviate muscular pain, strip out congested muscle fibres and deal to old scar tissue. These treatments are always in your control and always at levels you are comfortable with to attain the results you need.
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.
