Acupoint Body Spirit Massage

When it comes to massage, there’s two schools.
School A — The leisurely, serene, day spa-​y style complete with dolphin sounds and relaxing music.
School B — The quick, almost torturous, slightly grungy style with background noises of traffic or a busy shopping mall.
I personally like both for different reasons, but usually find myself at school B because it’s cheap and quick, meaning I can have a 20 minute neck and shoulder massage a couple of times a month if I need to.
I was in Sydney and came across Acupoint on a hunt for a quick 20 minute neck and shoulder torture session to work out some tension. What struck me was that it was a notch above others I’ve visited, with massage beds to lie on, and a decent amount of cleanliness and hygiene (ie. the face pillow I rested on was first covered with a fresh cloth). Although I could still hear some shopping mall noise and the person in the next little «room» it was a much more relaxing experience than sitting upright under bright florescent lights as is the norm in this kind of place.
But what really set it apart was Stephen who was really nice and very very good. His technique was excellent and he was able to work out little knots in my shoulders and neck using gentle but firm acupressure. I got up feeling excellent and very grateful!

Make you sure you tell them you have a special health fund first.

I signed up for Extras coverage with my private health insurance provider (BUPA) and boy was it difficult to call around and find out where health refunds are available. They told me that there were just too many, yet after calling over and over, I couldn’t find one.
Then one day, I stumbled upon Acupoint Body Spirit Massage and found out that they did — VICTORY!!!
Out of the few times that I’ve gone to get my body sorted, they always had someone who was registered with the health care providers.
Moving along to the review of the actual place:
My god, I don’t lie when I say that they can certainly sort me out. Holding stress in your neck and shoulders is never a good thing and I believe that massage should be a part of your normal life. By that, I mean going a few times a month because it’s what the body needs. This isn’t a spa so don’t expect that kind of facility. There is no soothing music and in fact, the shop is quite open and you hear everyone walking by. But it’s in a really convenient location in the city, in World Square (by the Coles, more towards the dry cleaners), and gets the job done correctly. I’ve had three different people and all of them left me more «un-​knotty.»
I highly recommend this place!
