"Excellent local massage therapist"
Last week, for the first time, I was looking for a massage specifically to tackle my knotted shoulders. Recommended by a Bandon local, I booked a session with Chantal Riordan of the Bandon Acupuncture Clinic (023-44186). Before you start bringing to mind a sterile, clinical environment think more of a comfortable family home with a dedicated treatment room.
Chantal, a french woman living in Ireland for many years, took my details and we chatted for a while before starting the session proper. The next hour was a pretty even balance of relaxation and pain (if you like that sort of thing!). She recommended I breath out whenever it really hurt, which did help a little. Grapeseed oil was used, which is scentless and, unlike the various spas I've been to, I emerged neither perfumed nor covered in an oil slick.
I'm sure one session hasn't sorted me out, and I probably didn't help by hefting sacks of bark mulch on Sunday. I'll definitely return in a couple of weeks. 65 euro for approx an hour.
