Phi therapy Ponsonby — Local services in Waitematā

The only reason I’m leaving two stars instead of one is because the pressure was firmer than I’m used to. I walked in and asked if I could do the 60 min special for 89/99$. The guy that received us and massaged me clearly just woke up from a nap, which at the moment didn’t bother me at all. They took me in quickly and proceeded to massage almost exclusively with his elbow and forearm for 45 minutes. Nearly the entire massage with exception of a few minutes consisted of him trying to grind out knots with his elbow. Then he stopped the massage and sent me on my way. I asked if it’s done and he replied yes and walked out. My back is tighter and more sore than when I walked in. ...

We came in for a couples 30 min deep tissue massage today. The service when booking the appointment was good, the rooms were nice and the beds comfy. However my partner received a more relaxation "fluffy"massage which is not what he wanted and asked for the pressure to be a firm deep tissue. My therapist worked on my knots but there was no real sequence or flow to the massage and it felt like he was not really focused and quite bored. We were surprised that the massage cost $60 for 30 mins per person, a lot more expensive then other establishments. We won't be back it was expensive for what we received and maybe the therapists we had might need some...

Absolutely shocking. Booked a 90 minute massage and they kept prodding us with bloody electrodes and sodding cups. If you didn't want those services, which we didn't... just the massage thanks... then you could pay extra for a facial. Which was equally as unenjoyable. Went for relaxation and to work out some knotted muscles. Between the digital reimagining of Greensleeves on their ringtone or the constant wheeling in and out of new torture equipment every 15 minutes, we had categorically the worst massages of our lives. Save yourself $50 and go to one of the walk in places...
