ABOUT ME
My name is Errol Auriant, a Qualified Masseur Therapist since 1995. During my career I have had the opportunity to assist people with various physical disabilities by alleviating their pain, improving their movements through massage using different techniques such as reflexology, exercises, passive movements, hydrotherapy etc and boosting their morale by providing constant encouragement. As a member of the Stroke Association of Victoria, I am particularly interested in stroke victims, as most of them after trying different treatments give up completely on any hope of recovering. They resign themselves to a life of physical and mental suffering as they lose their independence, their dignity, their self-esteem and interest in life in general. Soon they come to the conclusion that they have become a burden on their families and on society. From being valuable human beings their lives are suddenly shattered they are reduced to a feeling of uselessness resulting in frustration and sometimes developing other medical conditions such as sleeping disorders and depression.
As a child I witnessed a stroke victim who had lost function of his arm, leg and speech, recover about 90% after daily massages over a period of two years. This miraculous recovery inspired me to become a masseur therapist. My aim is to help stroke victims by giving them a hope of recovery through regular massages and tailored exercise programs. As massages improve blood circulation, exercises loosen and strengthen the atrophied muscles, thus reducing stiffness in the limbs, and increasing motion. Progress is slow but steady and requires a team effort between masseur and client and their families.
I would like to talk about one of my most challenging and successful cases, Nola Rogers. When I started treating Nola, she had been paralysed for 24 years following a cerebral infraction. Nola had previously tried different treatments with hardly any success. After giving Nola 256 treatments, she regained about 80% of her abilities and hasn't stopped recovering. It has been a hard battle that both of us fought together and I am delighted with the results. Nola is the living proof that there is always hope for stroke victims. Her life has tremendously improved since and she has been able to resume some of her previous activities and has gained new horizon on life in general.
Most of the time our body has the ability to heal itself with proper nutrition which encourages the renewing of cells. However when when part of our brain is affected, our limbs don't respond to the commands from the brain anymore resulting in partial paralysis. But the key recovery is FAITH. You need to have faith in God, faith in the therapist and faith in yourself. As you make the first steps towards recovery, my advice is don't be discouraged by the slow process, as in the long term you will be the beneficiary. A stroke should not mean the end of your life, but the challenge of rebuilding your life and doing whatever it take to achieve your goal. Motivation and perseverance is the key to success. I want to finish with this inspiring thought "God give me the serenity to accept things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference".
I want to help you and I am only a telephone call away. Make that first step today, talk to someone who cares, talk to me. I will be happy to discuss any concerns you may have and help you in any way I can. 0418 179 722

At the first session i had relief from my neck and back pain. And after a few treatments the pain in my stomach stopped. Errol has given me great advice and taught me how to listen to my body. The treatment and wisdom that he has given me has been valuable for my healing."
