"The majority of the work I do is therapeutic massage treating pain and injury."

​

While I dabbled for many years, it was 50 years before I found my way to being a professional therapist. It has been 20 years since that time. There has been a lifetime experience as an athlete. A 10 year association as a young man with a Grand Master martial artist and TCM practitioner of high esteem a profound influence. I practice advanced Remedial Therapy with highly developed palpation skills and massage technique, fusing East and West, attending to postural anomalies, structural leg length discrepancy, Qi flow principles, clearing Pelvic and Shoulder Blockage impacting limbs, spine, comfort, mobility, health and vitality.

​​​

​"Treatment is largely massage based to release tightness, strengthen weakness and promote circulation together with Fascial Release techniques, Cranio-Sacral Therapy, Chinese Cupping and Gua Sha, while attending to pelvic distortion and strain from structural leg length discrepancy and treating in accordance with energetic Qi flow principles."​

​

"Fusing East and West...this is more than the simple act of using assorted Traditional Chinese Medical techniques in conjunction with the science of physical therapy. It is the palpable awareness of energetic Qi flow in the body giving insight to conditions not fully understood by conventional therapists."

​

"It is all about the energy...yet the treatment is very physical."

​

"Energetically, the primary principle at play is a proximal block at hip or shoulder having a distal effect on the limb. Causing a subtle thickening and tightening through the connective tissue which under loading and other influencing factors can morph into pain, dysfunction and injury impacting both mobility and internal health."

​

"The physical facilitates the emotional. Tension blocks energetic Qi flow affecting circulation…leading to stagnation and pain. Rhythmic massage softens physical tightness and activates the parasympathetic nervous system enabling energy to move once again. Energy and emotion are tied together residing in our physical being. Good energy from positive experience buoys us up. Bad energy from trauma is black, heavy and needs to be cleared."

​

"Athletic experience...optimise performance, enhance recovery and manage injury."

​

"Shoulders transform from rigid blocks to exquisitely supple joints with unresisting, large radius, fluid like circular movement...rapidly resolving conditions distally in the arm."

​

"Specialist knowledge of Short Right Leg Syndrome, its two Signature Traits, Three Cardinal Signs and Pelvic Block. The effects from structural leg length discrepancy distorting and straining pelvic alignment is the underlying cause for many lower limb, lumbro-sacral and spinal issues. With few exceptions, we all have a short right leg. It is a dominant genetic trait."

​

"Holistic Massage Therapy weaving through the labyrinth of sinews, energetic Qi flow and historic trauma to clear heaviness and blackness burdening our being."

​

"Tightness and rigidity...creeping beneath the threshold of awareness, robbing us of the softness and flexibility of youth."

​

"It always comes back to massage with knowing, sensitive and strong hands to achieve the ultimate therapy."

​

"Everyone can benefit from massage."​
