Remedial Massage ★ Rockhampton

I have two diplomas from the Australian Institute of Applied Sciences, one in Remedial Massage, the other in Oriental Therapies.

I graduated in December 2002 at the top of my class and was subsequently awarded AAMT's Queensland Massage Therapist of the Year.

My specialities are Remedial Massage, Chinese Acupressure, Tui Na, Zen Shiatsu, and Manual Lymphatic Drainage.

In the years since graduating, I have also completed studies in the related fields of fitness, sexual health, counselling, and sports nutrition.

Yep. Go crazy. Unless you have an STI. Whether it's active or not, I need to know.

In Queensland, it is illegal to lie about your STI status to a provider of personal services.

I do need to know what meds you're on or surgeries you've undertaken so I can make sure the massage won't interfere with your treatment.

Aside from that, totally cool.

Feel free to disclose any physical insecurities you might have before I see you naked, whatever makes you more comfortable.

Yes, that's no problem. On recently waxed areas, I generally massage with after-wax lotion instead of oil.

Yes, as a paid service. The cost for new male clients is $49 on top of your massage price. Due to legal complexities, I don't allow spontaneous intimacy with female clients.

By default, I don't offer intimate services to remedial massage clients as they are typically not here for that purpose. Basically, if you want a hand job, you'll have to ask.

With all the above in mind, you might find my Podium Massage or Cabana Massage more suited to your needs.

Yes. As with all viruses where there is any risk of contagion, simply inform me during your pre-treatment consultation.

📖   💲   📆

No. There is an unacceptably high risk of spreading cancer to other parts of the body due to elevated movement of toxins and lymphatic fluid during a massage treatment.

Before a big sporting event, athletes want their muscles in peak condition and train hard in lead-up to the race.

Muscle recovery and stretching usually form part of that training.

The big key is to plan ahead. If you have a sporting event on the weekend, you don't want your muscles to be recovering from a hard deep-tissue massage just as you need them to perform.

Have a strong massage on the Monday then allow a few days for your muscles to recover.

Low intensity training, combined with increased water intake, is a good way to help them clean out dead tissue released by the massage.

Then midweek, have a very light massage. This way, your muscles will be in premium condition for the weekend's big event.

For most boys, Osgood-Schlatter's Disease resolves itself after puberty and the bones have reached their adult length.

For younger boys on the threshold of puberty, say 9 to 12 years old, the condition can be painful and limit their ability to flex and extend their knee.

While remedial massage won't 'cure' the problem, massaging and stretching the upper and lower leg muscles will keep them limber and help the patella to track better, thus relieving discomfort while nature does it's thing.

I can definitely help. Ultrasound-guided lavage of the shoulder is performed to removed calcified deposits inside the shoulder capsule, or rotator cuff.

From personal experience, the pain can be quite unbearable.

Remedial Massage is ideal to alleviate the pain, and will also help clear the deposits before your procedure.

In fact, if you jump onto treating the condition soon enough, you might not even need the ultrasound treatment.
