Tom Jones Massage Therapies

About Me

My goal as a therapist is, quite simply, for you to leave in a better state than when you arrived. More relaxed. Less pain. A spring in your step and a smile on your face. As well as treating the presenting symptom (usually pain, tension, discomfort), my aim is to identify the root cause of dysfunction to decrease the likelihood of its recurrence and to restore correct function. To restore, maintain, and enhance health. And stretch, I always get you to stretch.

About You

Clients come to see me for Remedial Massage for a number of different reasons. Acute pain such as a sports injury, a tension headache or throwing your back out, chronic pain like a sore lower back that just doesn’t seem to budge, postural imbalances as a result of working long hours at a desk or training at the gym using poor technique. In the longer term, Remedial Massage can also help prevent injury, and speed up the rehabilitation process for existing injuries. I’ve listed below some of the common complaints I see. You might recognise one or two of them in yourself:

Head and Neck: One of the most common complaints of clients is simply a sore, stiff neck. Usually the result of being a ‘desk warrior’, the static desk-bound posture puts extra stress on the structures across the back of the neck and shoulders commonly causing headaches.

Shoulders: Probably the most complex of the major joints. Injuries are often the result of poor biomechanics, rotator cuff weakness and/or overuse. Nerve impingements (resulting in ‘pins and needles’, numbness) can be common also. Treatment of the shoulder often involves a detailed assessment and testing of several muscles/structures to ascertain the specific cause of the problem.

Swedish (Relaxation) and Deep Tissue massage techniques are also used during treatments to prepare the body for Remedial work, or can be employed as a stand-alone treatment for those just wanting to switch off and relax.

What I Do, When

Provide 40 minute, 1 hour, 90 minute and 2 hour treatments to suit every need, from a localised Remedial treatment for a specific issue, to a luxurious full body Deep Tissue massage. Private Health Rebates are available with appropriate cover.

I’m in the studio at these times, but I try to be as flexible as possible so if you’re in a bind don’t hesitate to ask. (I do yoga on Monday evenings, so I can’t work then).
