What we offer

Developed by Wayne Armour B.Th.S.M, the Body Mechanic Treatment reimagines traditional neuromuscular soft tissue therapy to restore movement freedom and reduce discomfort. Wayne believes that “functional movement is the key to a strong, mobile, and resilient body; one that adapts efficiently to daily life and dynamic environments.”

Achieving functional movement without pain requires addressing muscular imbalances, movement dysfunctions, and restrictions that contribute to discomfort or injury. By integrating evidence-based soft tissue techniques, biomechanics, and body-cognitive behavioral methods, Wayne works to restore proper mechanics, reduce strain, and enhance mobility. Whether recovering from injury, managing chronic discomfort, or striving for peak performance, prioritising pain-free movement fosters confidence and a greater outlook on life.

A Holistic Approach to Wellness

At its core, Body Mechanic Therapy focuses on understanding and responding holistically to the body’s signals. It incorporates:

✔ Biomechanics – Understanding how the body moves and functions efficiently.
✔ Tensegrity – Exploring how the body maintains balance and adapts to external forces.
✔ Structural Mechanics – Examining how the body absorbs and distributes stress.

This comprehensive approach helps alleviate discomfort, enhance mobility, prevent injuries, and improve neuromuscular resilience.

What Makes Body Mechanic Therapy Unique?

Unlike conventional treatments, Body Mechanic Therapy integrates the biopsychosocial model, recognising the connection between physical health, mental well-being, and social factors. Treatments combine:

✔ Soft tissue techniques to release tension and improve functional mobility.
✔ Movement practices to enhance overall body awareness, self-management and recovery.
✔ Body-cognitive behavioral methods to reinforce positive movement patterns for reducing re-injury.

This ensures a personalised, whole-body approach tailored to each individual’s needs.

A Philosophy for Long-Term Outcomes

More than just a treatment method, Body Mechanic Therapy is a forward-thinking philosophy that redefines interventions in health and wellness. It integrates:

• Hands-on manual therapy rooted in evidence-based best practices.

• Biomechanics and bioengineering principles to enhance movement efficiency.

• Biopsychology and the benefits of human touch to support overall well-being.

By moving beyond symptom relief to address the root causes of dysfunction, this innovative approach fosters lasting change. Clients are empowered with the tools to thrive in all aspects of life, creating a new standard for optimal movement, resilience, and well-being.

Remedial massage is a targeted, therapeutic treatment designed to support the body’s natural healing process and restore optimal function after an injury. This clinically-focused approach is particularly effective for addressing muscular imbalances, chronic pain, and restricted mobility, offering much more than simple relaxation.

By identifying and treating the root cause of discomfort, remedial massage uses techniques such as deep tissue manipulation, trigger point therapy, and myofascial release. These methods work precisely to alleviate pain, improve circulation, enhance flexibility, and promote efficient muscle function.

Beyond aiding recovery, remedial massage plays a vital role in preventing injuries. It addresses postural imbalances, reduces muscular tension, and improves joint mobility, helping to minimise the risk of re-injury and supporting long-term physical health.

Whether you are recovering from a sports injury, managing a chronic condition, or seeking to maintain overall wellness, remedial massage provides a tailored and holistic solution to improve your quality of life.

A collaborated creation by Dawn & Wayne, the NZBMA Sport Flush Treatment is designed for individuals seeking revitalisation without the intensity of a targeted therapeutic massage. This treatment focuses on whole-body recovery, blending specialised massage techniques with the use of essential oils to enhance blood circulation, relieve muscle soreness, and support overall physical recovery.

A key element of the Sport Flush treatment is Dawn’s extensive knowledge of aromatherapy and the beneficial properties of essential oils. She formulated her own massage balm by carefully selecting a blend of essential oils specifically designed for Sport Flush massages. These oils stimulate the body’s natural anti-inflammatory processes, helping to reduce tension and swelling. Combined with precise massage techniques, the treatment enhances blood flow to targeted areas, aiding in the removal of metabolic waste and delivering essential nutrients to fatigued muscles.

Whether you’re an athlete seeking recovery after intense activity or simply looking for a full-body reset, the Sport Flush treatment offers a comprehensive approach to rejuvenation and wellness. More than just alleviating immediate discomfort, this revitalising experience leaves you feeling recharged, restored, and primed to perform at your peak.
