Auckland Wellness Centre provides therapeutic soft tissue massage and Tuina therapy at our North Shore Auckland clinic in Rosedale. Ada Zhong offers Traditional Chinese Medicine-based Tuina massage, cupping, and Gua Sha for muscle tension, sports recovery, and chronic pain relief. Combined with chiropractic and acupuncture for an integrated approach. ACC-registered — no GP referral required.
Not a relaxation-only clinic. AWC delivers therapeutic massage rooted in Chinese clinical tradition — combined with acupuncture for conditions that need more than pressure alone.
Our lead massage practitioner trained at Chengdu University of Traditional Chinese Medicine in China — home to one of the world’s most advanced Tuina programmes. The technique she brings is clinically distinct from standard Auckland massage.
Ada Zhong uniquely combines soft tissue massage with targeted acupuncture in a single session — addressing muscle tension and underlying nerve and energy pathways simultaneously. For many conditions, this dual approach produces results that neither treatment alone can achieve.
Massage for accident-related soft tissue injuries may be covered by ACC. Whether you’ve had a sports injury, a fall, or a workplace accident, we assess your ACC eligibility at your first appointment — no GP referral needed.
Choose your session length based on your needs. Deep tissue work for chronic tension requires time — we don’t rush. Whether you’re coming for sports recovery, postural correction, or general relaxation, your session is adapted to you.
Therapeutic massage requires adequate time. Book 60 or 90 minutes based on your condition and goals.
Every session follows a structured clinical process to ensure the best possible outcome for your condition.
Your practitioner reviews your health history, current symptoms, and treatment goals to tailor the session specifically to your needs.
Physical assessment to identify tension patterns, trigger points, and areas of concern before treatment begins.
Targeted massage therapy combining techniques best suited to your condition — deep tissue, Tuina, sports massage, or a combination approach.
Stretching recommendations, hydration tips, and follow-up scheduling to maximise your recovery between sessions.
From traditional Chinese bodywork to modern sports recovery — AWC’s massage services are clinically grounded and practitioner-adapted to your needs.
