Massage Therapy in Dunedin

Four: What qualification and training do you have? What's the full price for my session length, including travel if mobile? What should I tell you about injuries or conditions beforehand? What's your cancellation policy? Clear answers to all four is the baseline for a professional operator.

Search therapists in Dunedin by modality (deep tissue, sports, prenatal) rather than generic 'massage', check their qualification and reviews that mention pressure and professionalism, and confirm the full price including any travel fee for mobile visits. Booking direct with an independent is usually 10-20% cheaper than through a spa.

Roughly 2x the single rate, sometimes with a small bundle discount at spas. For mobile couples massage, two therapists work simultaneously, so expect 2x the mobile rate plus one travel fee rather than two. Back-to-back sessions with one therapist are cheaper but double the total time.

Usually about 1.4-1.5x the 60-minute price, not 1.5x exactly — the marginal half hour is cheaper because setup and consultation are already done. If you have multiple problem areas or want full-body plus focused work, 90 minutes is better value than two short sessions.

A 60-minute session runs NZD $80-$140 at clinics and independents, with Auckland and Wellington at the top. Mobile massage runs $100-$170 including travel. Sports and clinical massage sits at $90-$140 per hour.

Not as a standalone treatment. ACC funds physiotherapy and some allied treatments for injuries, and massage may be delivered inside those programmes, but you can't book a massage and claim it from ACC directly. Budget for it as a private expense.
