Massage Philosophy is a walk-in shop-front organisation similar to others that one now finds in Australian shopping centres. Located in the Myer Centre, there are lots of retail outlets - e.g. Coles, Myer, Best For Less - and the food court nearby. (By the way, the food court is well worth visiting.)

I wanted a fairly straightforward neck and shoulder massage, but was not confident of the reviews I had read of other places in town.

The massage was relaxing and I was able to zone out for the half hour I was there. I've had massages in OTHER places where I've felt very sore the next day. This did not happen with Massage Philosophy. I felt good from the massage.

Before I left, they gave me a drink of water. I know masseurs go on about getting hydration post massage, but I've never been given any at the actual shop. I appreciated their thoughtfulness, especially given it was summer and very hot weather outside.

In general, the staff were polite and professional. The price for half an hour was most reasonable for the service provided.

Approximate cost: $25
