Our Services
Remedial Massage
Remedial massage is an advanced form of massage designed to identify the causes of pain or stiffness. Firstly, a history of the area of concern is taken and then testing is performed to isolate the muscles, tendons and ligaments that are involved. Other factors such as exercise levels, type of work and postural alignment are examined. The massage then focusses on relieving and correcting the problem areas discovered. Stretches are used to assist in releasing areas of tightness and specific corrective exercises and stretches are recommended following the massage.

Bowen Therapy
Bowen therapy is very gentle and seeks to create harmony and balance in the body. Bowen therapy can be used as a stand-alone technique or combined with remedial massage. Bowen focusses on releasing specific trigger points and energy points on the body by using a series of small, gentle moves. The rolling moves send neurological impulses to the brain, which in turn sends signals to muscles to relax. This technique can quickly reduce pain and return joints, muscles and tendons to normal movement.

Testimonials
"I had been having ongoing back issues for 3 year and had seen numerous different therapists and medical experts regarding the condition I was suffering. Some of these “professionals” were even employed by AFL teams as recovery trainers. Although they were able to provide temporary relief and/or short term recovery the same injury would resurface within a short period of time. After I was referred to Matt Kirk by a friend, I called him on a public holiday when I could not get in to see any of my regular therapists. He returned my call within less than an hour and had me in for an appointment the next day. At the time I was barely able to walk and was in constant spasming pain.
He immediately upon meeting was able to diagnose my issues from my visual appearance and then started on the Bowen Therapy. The results of the applied therapy were startling. I immediately felt massive relief and was able to walk freely again after the first session. The results multiplied on themselves, I was able to walk completely pain free and within a next few days I was able to run again. I have had no recurring issues since seeing Matt, if I had seen him 3 years ago I would have saved myself a lot of pain and torment. I found Matt’s professionalism to be exceptional and I have no reservations about referring his services to others."

"I first met Matt as a massage therapist at my local gym when I was suffering from a chronic lower back problem mainly associated with my job. I remember clearly him telling me I needed to “get strong”. Given I felt I had a reasonable level of fitness and exercised almost every day I was truly taken back………….however, challenged by this I embarked on a “Matt Kirk get strong programme” – it has truly changed my life and I now understand the difference between being fit and being fit and strong. I no longer suffer from any back pain, can continue to do the job I am trained for and feel fantastic. Matts approach to progressively improving your condition really works, it’s motivating, and it’s challenging but best of all it’s really rewarding!
Now when I am at my gym I see so many people performing exercise routines that are almost futile. Matt helps you perfect your technique to get the most out of every single exercise………most people don’t understand how important this is. I see Matt once a month to train and update my training homework and massage every 6 to 8 weeks, my back, neck and shoulders are now pain free.
The other thing I love is I no longer need to go to the gym to do Matt’s training programme, I can do it in the backyard, at the park or on the beach when I’m on holidays.
Matts also the most amazing masseur, he finds sore spots you don’t even know you have!"

"Bulla runs a comprehensive workplace wellness program and it is via this program that we engaged Matt Kirk. Matt initially provided remedial massage to staff at one of our factories. Factory work is physically demanding and involves repetitive movement, lifting of moderate weights and long periods of standing upright. Some of our staff has physical restrictions which, unless carefully managed, can result in increased damage as a result of the work environment.
The massage program was very well received by all staff who participated. Staff reported feeling more energized, free from aches and pains and generally feeling really good following their 20-minute massage session. Many team members had not experienced remedial massage before and everyone was generally very positive about the experience.
We were looking for an activity that was more about building morale than repairing injuries, and in this respect the massage program was extremely effective. People continued to speak positively of the massage program, and about Matt personally, for months after the program concluded. I experienced the program myself and I believe that Matt is one of the most capable massage therapists operating in Melbourne today.
Matt also ran a boot camp for our corporate head office. Matt’s program was perfectly designed for people of all fitness levels, and focused on educating people about how to use their bodies effectively. A few of us were sporting acute or chronic injuries, and Matt was able to help us to address our injuries very effectively with a range of customised exercises.
Matt’s emphasis on efficient human movement was very different from other boot camps I have participated in outside the work environment. I would be wary of running a traditional boot camp in a work environment due to the risks of causing sporting injuries to staff. Matt’s program eliminated this risk, as everyone was able to work at their own pace and with sensitivity to pre-existing injuries.
In summary, I think very highly of Matt’s skills and approach and would wholeheartedly recommend him to businesses and individuals who are looking for fitness training or therapeutic massage services."
