Dip. Remedial Massage

Hello there!

I'm a fully qualified remedial massage therapist, registered with Massage and Myotherapy Australia with provider numbers and heath insurance rebates.

I have a broad range of experience working mostly in allied health clinics with a diverse range of clients, from young through to the elderly of all body types.

Treating a range of muscular pain complaints from the "weekend warrior", to postural related pain and dysfunction from sitting for long periods of time for work or study and more chronic long term issues.

I make it a priority to stay up to date with the best practice, evidence based treatments to provide my clients with not only the best personalised treatments, but advice on how to help alleviate the issue heading into the future.

What i love about my job is seeing how much progress people can make with reduction of their physical pain and discomfort, often within 2 to 4 remedial soft tissue massage sessions, even people who have been putting up with chronic discomfort for a very long time.

No matter whether your discomfort be caused by old or current sporting injuries, general accidents, underlying pathologies, poor posture, training too hard or solely stress related, we can work toward ameliorating its affects.

Physical pain can often have far reaching repercussions, effecting work, sporting performance, recreational activities and adversely effecting mood and relationships. It can sometimes be the physical manifestations of long term emotional and psychological stress as in fibromyalgia.

The body is amazingly adaptive and many times can accumulate great levels of stress and muscular tension before starting to register the high levels of pain that many people experience. Often times they feel they have to "just put up" with it or credit it to " just getting older" but there is much that can be done to mitigate it with a little deliberate action and greater understanding.

So if this sounds like you, then book today, don't wait till your body is screaming at you, listen to the subtle whispers.

Experience

Over many years of hands on experience, working in both clinic and home environments I've become particularly adept in treating:

Tension headaches
Neck and thoracic pain
Shoulder tension and pain
Lower back complaints

Along with a broad range of other muscular issues.

I have enjoyed working with my clients to help solve their trouble areas in a way that is comfortable and addresses their needs. I have an interest in the emotional / psychological connection to physical pain and dysfunction in the body and as such try to guide my clients to recognition of how this might play out in their bodies and finding ways to mitigate those stresses.

In 2016, I had the privilege of working with Western Bulldogs Men's team in their premiership winning year and also AFL women's team gaining valuable knowledge in regards to sports injuries and rehabilitation.

Please feel free to get in touch if you have any questions or discuss a treatment.
