"It is Richard's commitment to personal wellness and the example that he leads which has been the main driver for me to continue using the services which he provides. For the first time I tried acupuncture as a method to create change in my own health and was very happy to have noticed a difference relatively soon. Richard has excellent people skills which provide a safe and enjoyable experience and one which I happily encourage you to try." Tanya Unkovich- Consultant/ Author
I have been a client of Richard’s for well over 10 years now. In that time he has treated this former weekend warrior for a variety of injuries and ailments with his excellent range of skill sets.
I have used a number of therapists but none of whom can get the fast and long lasting results that I have had with Richard. He doesn’t just treat the symptoms he gets down to the cause. He is an expert with his massage, cranio-sacral, and acupuncture techniques.
When I was competing in races ranging from running, cycling to the sky tower challenges I would see Richard a couple of days before an event and you could put money on it that I would beat my previous personal bests for that event as Richard would have me running at my optimum with a sports massage prior to the event and I would have fewer injuries after the events as well. I would push myself hard at the gym and with my training regime the resultant injuries would go to see Richard, who would get me training again in a couple of treatments that would have taken three times longer to recover with other health care providers.
When I heard Richard was practising acupuncture I was apprehensive, as I hate needles. I can take a lot of pain but needles make me squeamish. Richard has helped me over come this fear and I have had treatments where I have had needles on my face which I never would have had anyone else do. I hardly felt the needles so he has a very, very good technique.
Richard is very professional and well organised and has a good rapport with people. I have referred my friends and family to Richard and they were very impressed with his treatments and his level of professionalism and knowledge.
I experienced a significant injury to my spine where I had tried physios and chiropractors and was ready to go under the knife as nothing was working, which was further complicated by having a job where I was sitting for long periods of time. Richard suggested I try acupuncture for my back problem. I have made good progress and I can train again without pain!! This weekend warrior is making a comeback under the strict guidance of Richard off course, which I really didn’t think I would do, let alone be able to run without pain. I have made speedy recoveries from colds and flu after being treated by Richard also.
I highly recommend Richard who has a wide range of techniques and customised treatments to ensure you will get maximum results quickly.

"I am a 51 year old women diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis in February 2000. I am paralysed from the waist down through this condition. I have been seeing Richard for acupuncture for 6 weeks now and wish to continue as I find it very beneficial to my circulation and overall feeling of well being. I am sleeping better at night and have regained some feeling in my lower limbs." Dianne
Richard McNair was employed full time by Oracle BMW Racing. He provided the Oracle team with personal training, fitness instruction, programme design and implementation, fitness testing, managing of the Oracle BMW Racing’s private gym equipment and maintenance.
Richard also provided sports massage, shiatsu chair massage and traditional Chinese medicine for the successful treatment, rehabilitation and prevention of a wide range of injuries.
I would have no hesitation recommending Richard for any position dealing with professional athletes, sports teams or private clients. His experience and enthusiasm for fitness training and success in treatment of injuries is outstanding. Craig Monk- Oracle BMW Racing
Due to a neck and head injury, as a result of a skiing accident on August 07, and consequently on top of a very severe neck and head injury 4 years ago – I have been receiving Acupuncture and Massage Therapy from Richard McNair. I have regular treatments with Richard as his work provides me with the relief, relaxation and improvement conducive to my recovery. He is very good! Kind regards, Tania Dropulich
"I approached Richard at Auckland Wellness after an accident to my right shoulder and an accumulation of sports over use injuries. I have been worked on by other practitioners for these problems but wasn’t happy with the results.
Richard has a friendly and professional approach and the insights he offered were impressive. He was able to quickly diagnose a torn rotator cuff tendon and inflamed bursa in my shoulder with some simple tests. This was also confirmed by an ultra sound scan at his recommendation. It was really good to have Acupuncture covered by ACC with someone who could say what the problem was and give a time frame to resolve it.
Richard applied a combination of therapies using Acupuncture, Therapeutic Massage and Herbal supplements. As the underlying problems were addressed there was noticeable improvement. With the harder to fix injuries Richard was there with extra support until a much-appreciated resolution.
Richard has also suggested a program of preventive exercises and stretches as well as nutritional supplements to maintain my increase in mobility and well-being long term. I am more than happy to recommend Richard for anyone requiring an expert diagnosis and treatment of those hard to fix injuries". Sincerely, Barry John
Richard first treated me in 2000 after a skateboarding accident. It had been 4 weeks since I crashed and after seeing a doctor, pharmacist and physio I was still in pain and feeling unbalanced. In one session Richard profoundly improved my physical state to an extent I could hardly believe. I have had numerous treatments for injuries and general well being with Richard since then and have always had amazing results. I've had various treatments from practitioners in New Zealand, Asia and Europe and I can honestly say I have yet to come across one as skilled as Richard. I highly recommend using his services.

Over the past five months, I have had the pleasure of receiving weekly treatments from Richard. I came to Richard with an interest in acupuncture and traditional Chinese medicine in hopes of alleviating minor back pain and dealing with imbalances in my overall physical and mental health. I had very little knowledge of acupuncture and TCM but felt that handling these discomforts naturally could be the best and perhaps most effective way of improving my overall well-being.
Richard was able to administer one hour long acupuncture treatments each week and I was amazed with the results and change in my health. Using needlework and massage therapy techniques, the pain in my back went away after a few sessions and I was impressed with the results even after the first treatment. After several sessions, my back pain was gone nonetheless; I decided to continue with treatments focusing on my mental and emotional well-being. At the time, I was living a very busy and stressful life and had trouble keeping focused and sleeping. I had difficulty falling asleep and the treatments greatly improved my focus and concentration as well as sleep patterns. I felt better immediately after the treatments and an improvement in overall mental clarity and emotional balance in the days following each session was sincerely appreciated.
Receiving treatments from Richard was a wonderful and most satisfying experience. I highly recommend him to anyone remotely interested in improving their health. I have moved from Auckland where I was receiving treatments from Richard, to the South Island of New Zealand and will deeply miss having the chance to readily meet with Richard. However, I will certainly continue to meet with him whenever possible and look forward to hearing from others how he has improved their health. Matthew Lady- Audio Engineer.
I am a 55-year-old woman who was diagnosed by my Doctor as having Acne Rosacea. My symptoms were redness and flushing of the face, facial burning and acne pustules. I had been going through an emotionally challenging time of my life and was in pre-menopause.
Being diagnosed with Acne Rosacea was a very distressing experience, as I had not had skin problems since I was a teenager, my self-confidence was challenged and I felt so unattractive.
The treatment the doctor recommended was topical and oral antibiotics and he said that I may have to continue taking them for the rest of my life. Yet after a year on this treatment I was still struggling with the problem.
I was depressed about this so I thought I would look around for a more natural cure. I came to Richard McNair for cosmetic facial acupuncture treatment and I was amazed after every treatment I had less redness and less breakouts on my face. After the course of 12 treatments I was clear of this condition and would highly recommend his method of treatment.
I also want to add that I felt Richard has great skill in applying the needles so that I did not experience any discomfort during treatments plus he was sensitive and supportive to my emotional state arising from this condition. Many Thanks C.L.
After turning 65 I decided it was time to address the very noticeable signs of aging on my face. I was referred to Richard for acupuncture, at first I was very reluctant to believe it would work, but after a course of 15 facial rejuvenation acupuncture sessions the drastic difference to my appearance is astonishing.
