ABOUT ME
Massage is my passion. I am a former journalist and newspaper owner/editor but gave that away to follow this passion full time. For more than 20 years I have massaged people of all ages and from all walks of life and occupations, including elite sportsmen and women and many Defence members. Using my extensive knowledge of human anatomy and physiology and massage experience, I have developed a special FIVE STAR postural assessment. In less than a minute, I can tell you virtually every muscle in your body that will be tight or sore and contributing to your problem areas even before you get on the table. In most cases you will be totally unaware of these.
I dont just focus on the SYMPTOM of your problem areas (where you actually feel sore or tight). I assess and look at the BIG PICTURE to also identify and determine the origin/cause and/or contributing factors and include those in the treatment. If youve ever wondered why some physical therapy practitioners want you coming back week after week, its often because they only address the SYMPTOMS!
Every first time remedial massage client with me receives an extra 30-40 minutes FREE with their first visit. I guarantee you the MOST INFORMATIVE and BEST VALUE FOR MONEY massage. Many people wonder why they have put up with common pain for so long when they find out whats actually been causing it!
Whatever time you book for (eg one hour) is the time you receive ON THE TABLE, not from when you walk into the massage room to when you are walking out the front door!

DID YOU KNOW?
Every muscle in the body has an opposing muscle. When muscles contract, their opposing muscles must release. People often feel pain in particular areas (the SYMPTOM) because those contracting muscles have to work harder than they should against OPPOSING muscles that are too tight (the CAUSE) - but may not feel sore. These OPPOSITES also apply to SIDES of the body - left v right, front v back, up v down, in v out. Eg. if you feel sore on the left, it's often because muscles on the right side are too tight!
The ORIGIN of many common muscular and joint aches and pains (eg back, neck, shoulder, leg, knee pain, etc) can be traced back to feet, hips or jaw being out of alignment. Has any other physical therapist checked all three of these for you?
If you are a sports person, gym/exercise enthusiast or Defence member wanting to recover from heavy workouts or are preparing for a major competition or event like Defence BFA/CFA, you need a thorough REMEDIAL MASSAGE from a qualified remedial therapist - not the relaxation type massage you would normally get from a day spa or beauty therapist.
The brain controls all functions of the body via the nerves. Virtually any nerve can be impinged because the jaw joint (temporomandibular joint - TMJ) is out of its correct alignment - so good nerve signals may not be getting through to particular functions. TMJ issues are usually caused by tight muscles (believe it or not often originating with the feet out of alignment!). So you may be getting muscle or other pain anywhere in the body - including some problems you may think are of a "medical" nature - that result from nerve impingement at the jaw joint.
Even when the actual cause of you pain is already known to you or easily identifiable (eg vertebral disk damage, torn muscles, broken bones, physical deformity, etc), various other tight areas or misalignments of the body you are not aware of (such as one hip higher than the other) may be aggravating the problem or slowing the healing processes. Remedial massage by a competent therapist can identify and minimise the effects of those other factors.
I'll explain all this and much more during the EXTRA 30-40 MINUTES YOU RECEIVE FREE with your first visit. Give me a call NOW to make a booking on (07) 4774 6973 or mobile 0438 774 819.
Don't be confused with massage types
Many people confuse the terms REMEDIAL massage, DEEP TISSUE massage and SPORTS massage when what they actually need and want is REMEDIAL massage.
If you are a sportsperson, gym or exercise enthusiast, you don't necessarily need SPORTS massage. Sports massage, in its truest context, is 10-15 minute pre- or post competition massage. However, a sports masseur should already be a qualified remedial masseur as sporting injuries may be involved.
REMEDIAL massage is DEEP TISSUE massage but deep tissue massage is not necessarily remedial. Competent REMEDIAL therapists work deep into the soft tissue but also need to look at the big picture and take into account ALL the OPPOSITES (mentioned above) and muscle imbalances and skeletal misalignments throughout the entire body from feet to head.
If a therapist focuses on just one side or aspect of the body (eg back of body or neck and shoulders), that is DEEP TISSUE massage. Deep tissue massage on its own may bring significant relief with problem areas by releasing the tight muscles in those areas, but remedial therapists should also try to identify the actual origins/causes of those problems and treat those areas - even though they may not originally have felt tight or sore to the client.
