About Sunshine Coast Sports and Remedial Massage

 With proven efficacy over two decades, I offer remedy for various body aches and pains. For the past 15 years, I have learned from and collaborated with esteemed physiotherapists, including those teaching at universities, top-tier clinical practitioners and those working with elite athletes. These experiences have equipped me with knowledge and skills to provide a versatile approach and thorough expertise, encompassing excellent assessment skills as well as the understanding of when and where to refer people to, if needed. 

Through Remedial massage, I frequently help people experiencing:

• back pain (low, upper, mid back) 
• cervicogenic headaches
• neck pain and/or stiffness
• pain presenting in joints (such as shoulder, hip, knee, elbow, jaw, wrist, ankle)
• numbness, tingles 
• pain related to occupation (e.g. desk-based work, dentists, trades-people, nurses and doctors, hospitality, truck drivers)

I aim to provide people with an understanding of the causes of pain and its messages including the interconnectedness of body mechanics, posture and movement. I believe having this type of understanding of one's own body can give long-term benefits which extend beyond passing trends.    

I have vast experience working with athletes at all levels, from recreational to world champions. I have travelled nationally and internationally, supporting professional athletes throughout competitions and training camps. Additionally, I really enjoy working with local athletes and teams, by offering in-clinic and on-site treatment for recovery, injury prevention, and maintaining peak physical condition.  

I have worked with many athletes from a diverse range of sports during all phases of their seasons, because of this, I can appreciate the unique needs athletes have at different stages of their athletic processes. 

I coordinate with sports doctors, physios, strength & conditioning coaches, and the like, to provide massage for the purpose of athlete support where ever they may be in the processes, including relating to injury (prevention / management / rehabilitation), as well as supporting strength and conditioning programs. From optimizing performance before competition to aiding in recovery afterward, I can deliver targeted massage therapy for enhanced well-being and athletic accomplishment.

By integrating into an athlete's support team, I can play a valuable role in promoting peak performance, injury prevention/management, and efficient rehabilitation.  

Professional massage, is a powerful means to maintain overall health and vitality. Over 20+ years, I have developed excellent assessment and massage skills that have proven time and again to enhance a person's physical function and from that, overall well-being. 

Benefits of regular treatment include: 

• increased energy
• improved circulation
• stress reduction
• pain management
• headache relief
• enhanced immune function
• better sleep
• mental well-being
• muscle tension relief
• reduction in risk of injuries
• overall relaxation

 In addition to honing over two decades of massage therapy expertise, I also over a decade of teaching yoga and Pilates.

This knowledge of movement and body mechanics from the worlds of yoga and Pilates, integrate with my massage expertise to bring a broader perspective and deeper tool-set to the individual.
