Body With Soul Total
Healthcare Network has
a host of medically trained
professionals who can
release knots and tension
in a safe way, taking into
account any specific
injuries or issues – great
if you’ve got a pre-existing
medical condition that
makes visiting a regular
spa a worry.
Osteopath Jenny Mullen and Physiotherapist Monica
Donaldson are available to carry out a full-body assessment
to find out the cause of your pain and tension (e.g., one leg
longer than other, pelvis rotated, scoliosis), and then will treat
you through a combination of deep-tissue massage and
postural and movement re-education.
Monica has a special interest in women’s physiotherapy,
and is the go-to person for pregnant women with back and
pelvic girdle pain (or pelvic floor problems) and postnatal
separated abdominal muscles. Jenny, meanwhile, is an expert
in sports injuries and sports massage, as well as other mobility
or post-surgery conditions.
A real benefit of each treatment is that you can find and
understand the cause of your pain, and learn how to manage
it at home as part of a rehabilitative programme. The deep-
tissue massage and muscle manipulation offered is not always
“relaxing” – it can be painful at points, but knowing that your
problem is being corrected makes it worth while.
Physiotherapy prices: $150 for a 60-minute initial consultation
assessment and treatment; follow-up treatment, $120 for 30 to
45 minutes with massage if required. Osteopathy prices: $130
for a 30-minute initial assessment; follow-up treatment, $110 for
30 minutes. 44/45 Rochester Park

Osteopathy Massage
The Yang Sheng treatment, which makes use of Chinese
herbal remedies, begins with the Imperial Tea Herbal Scrub all
over the body to reduce stress and beautify the skin through
detoxification. The aromatic herbs promote a sense of relaxation
and wellbeing, and they aren’t overpowering. After the full body
exfoliation, it’s time to shower before the massage.
The Purifying Herbal Wrap uses mung beans to eliminate
toxins and purify the skin. According to Chinese medicine,
they help to remove “heatiness” in your body that can lead to
acne and other skin blemishes.
Once the mixture has been applied all over the body, you’re
wrapped up in sheets and the heated massage bed is turned
on to aid absorption. This is your chance to close your eyes
and relax alone for half an hour, before you sip on a soothing
hot tea and your cup-gliding therapy begins.
Cupping is an ancient Chinese form of alternative medicine
that involves placing cups with strong suction on to the
skin to mobilise blood flow, promote healing and draw out
harmful toxins from the body. If you’re not keen to try this
traditional method, you can swap it for an extra half hour of
the therapeutic massage that follows.
The 150-minute Yang Sheng package costs $280 for single
treatment and $480 for a double (couple’s) treatment. The
