Thank you to everyone who has supported ProActive Massage over this time. I really appreciate every one of you.

Creating, developing and growing a business has taught me a lot over the last 9 years.

I am most proud of expanding my knowledge over the last few years and being able to provide our patients with the support and care to not only help improve symptoms but long term benefits of teaching them how to care for themselves more and rely less on constant treatments.

Bring on the next 9 years 🍾πŸ₯‚

❌ There's an incredible amount of misunderstanding about what pain really is.

⚠️We've been sold the myth that pain is a sign that the body is broken, or damaged. While this CAN be true, it isn't ALWAYS true.

🧠 In fact, neuroscience reveals that pain is *many* things - and serves multiple functions.

Pain is:
βœ… the body's warning system 🚨
βœ… an evolutionarily response to POTENTIAL danger (not just actual danger)
βœ… constructed NOT just by the body part that hurts, but by BRAIN + body working together 🧠
βœ… ALWAYS EMOTIONAL - amplified by negative emotions like stress, anxiety + sadness; and reduced by positive emotions like joy + calm
βœ… a motivator for self-protective behavior, including stopping, resting + seeking help πŸƒπŸ»β€β™€οΈ
βœ… always subjective. No matter what anyone says, the ultimate expert on your pain is YOU. πŸ™πŸΌ

ProActive Massage was founded in September of 2014, while Katrina was a 2nd year student at The New Zealand College of Massage in Wellington. Studying full time, commuting and starting a business wasn’t easy but it’s true what they say - anything worth doing will be hard work. Katrina’s main goal in starting her career in massage therapy is to help people from all walks of life. I focus on treatment & sports massage, rehabilitation & injury prevention. Ideal for anyone who has an active lifestyle. ProActive Massage can help you to get you back to your optimum health & allow you to do the things you enjoy. I am currently based at 438 Queen Street, Kuripuni Village, Masterton, Wairarapa. I was awarded the Academic Excellence Award for 2015 from The New Zealand College of Massage as the top student.
