It was my third visit and I can thoroughly recommend it, it's like a combination of massage and firm acupressure bringing immediate relief as Andre explains everything to you while it's happening. It costs $60 for one hour and you get sent home with special healing herbal patches on your body. It's really fantastic, well worth the money. Andre's number is: 027 353 9742.
