Hi, my name is Lani and I am a Google Diagnoser. Yep. I am on of *those* people. And this means…read morethat I try a lot of things to remedy issues. My latest quest? Acupuncture. I'd heard of the student clinic at Endeavour College and figured that at $15 for an hour session, it was the perfect way for me to dip my toes into the world of acupuncture and see if it was actually for me, and more importantly, if I noticed any results. I've had two sessions so far, and while I'd definitely consider it a work in progress, I am noticing an overall improvement in not only the primary issue I sought the treatment for (severe lower back pain) but in my total energy levels, attitude and a lasting effect of balance. I'm even noticing I'm eating less. The students are fully supervised and their supervisor comes into the sessions regularly to check that all is going well. I'm yet to feel in any way uneasy about the students that have practiced on me. Don't stress. I'm getting to what you all want to know. The needles? Honestly? I don't feel them. Sure you *know* they're sticking a needle in you but do you feel any pain? I'm told it is different for everyone but, I personally, haven't felt anything more than a quick prick of the skin. Once they are all in it actually feels like a nice current is washing over you. A calmness if you will. The sessions can take a little longer as they are student practitioners and they begin each session with a short Q&A and sign-off from their supervisor. For $15 though, I can't complain and I would whole-heartedly recommend to anyone wanting to either save a few quid or test it out without dropping a wad of cash.

This place is every uni students dream come true... Wish…read moreyou could get a massage for all those insane hours crammed over a computer? Is your diet migorang noodles and canned tuna? Go to endeavour College for a consultation! The clinics are run by third years, so In a few months the services and advice they give you for... $10!!! They will be charging hundreds, Naturopathy, aromatherapy, massage, acupuncture.... And way more that I didn't read, all as cheap as chips. Seriously, I can't talk it up more. The students that run clinic are professional and know their stuff, I'm currently in my third week for dietary analysis and the guy that is working with me is top notch, he explains things to me simply, and he doesn't let it get awkward even when he has to ask personal questions. The massages are not just the oily, waste of time massages that you get at a lot (A LOT!) of places in the city, they are actually about improving you physically, fixing pain or dealing with the neck problems from cramming at your desk all night. I love a bargain and I love my health, so this is my new happy place.

Cheap, easily accessible acupressure massage when you want it (so long as it's during shopping…read morehours). I recommend Chi-Link when you need some quick massage / reflexology to work out a kink or a bit of pain. I do not recommend Chi-Link for relaxation massage. Chi-link serves up acupressure massage, which can (for me) teeter on the line between pleasure and pain as it lends itself to a firmer massage. (Do get them to apply accupressure to your ears - that is divine!!) However, do not be afraid to speak up to the therapists if it's too firm for your liking. There are 3 locations inside the Cherminator, so you've got a great chance to walk - up & be attended to immediately by friendly staff. The stalls are formed by curtains, so it's not the quietest experience you'll ever have, but then you're not expecting a day-spa, are you?

Shopping can be tiring and stressful. Life can be even more tiring and stressful. If you've had…read moreenough of soldiering on, you should drop into Chi Link for a little spot of luxury. Tucked away into a relatively quiet corner of Chermside Westfield, Chi Link is a private haven of peace and wellness. I've only ever gotten the 20 minute massage, but for $25 I've got to say it's very good value for money. If you tell them to go hard they will take no prisoners - you may emerge feeling a little battered but trust me it's pain with gain. I keep meaning to save up and have a bigger splurge, and I know if I'm ever stuck for gift giving a voucher from here would be welcomed by most people I know.

I was fortunate to discover Nurture Studio a few years ago for acupuncture and massage and I always…read morerecommend my friends and family to go here. I've had successful treatments for neck and shoulder problems, a damaged knee and sore back at different times and feel so comforted to know that this talented group of practitioners are always there to help. Over the last 4-5 months I've been even more grateful. Kylie has worked tirelessly and cleverly to help me recover from a bike riding hip injury. I've noted too that if I ever need physio, Nurture Studio is the only physio studio in New Farm and Teneriffe with Bupa Plus status. I highly recommend the skill sets and great service to be found at Nurture Studio.

I found Good Vibrations on Google, and after reading reviews and viewing the menu, decided this would be the place to go. I booked in at 1 for a massage at 2 which was so convenient that I was able to book in late the same day. When I arrived I was greeted by the lovely Claire and filled out my details. This was my first massage, and it didn't disappoint at all! It was amazing and each new spot Claire moved to felt like a new favourite. Overall it was a great experience and I left feeling so relaxed, with no more aching in my back. I would highly recommend a visit to Good Vibrations, and I will definitely be back in the near future!

The staff are all friendly, and you can even request a certain level of chattiness. This place is tucked away upstairs from The Stores, and I believe there's a lift if you're not in any shape to make it up a set of stairs. I would recommend parking out the back rather than the front car park, as that's only 15 minutes. I came away quite sore, which lasted a couple days, but I was able to move, and a lot of the knots were gone, so it was probably worth it. I think i'll be heading back here next time I need a massage.

Well, Boran must have known I was suffering from my particular strain of Mac Back pretty bad and finally after a few months of regularly driving past their Ashgrove clinic (It's on Wardell Street on the stretch between Enoggera and Ashgrove), I finally booked an appointment. I could book online so they were already winning in my book. Then, I discover for December only they had 20% off all remedial massages. Two out of three checks in the "heck yes" box. After completing the standard new client paperwork, I was shown to the treatment room. The Ashgrove clinic isn't full of frills but that's not what you're hear for. This isn't a day spa experience where you're paying just as much for their on-call interior designer as you are the treatment. No, Sir. This is 100% about the treatment. My therapist conducted an initial assessment of how I was sitting, my neck and then we were underway. She focused on the key pain points but was also upfront and honest that in one 60min treatment we wouldn't get to address everything. Even so, I walked out of Boran 60 minutes later feeling far more relaxed and at ease than I had in weeks. They've got Hi-Caps on site which means you're only paying the gap from your health fun and did I mention online booking?
