 Hi, I'm Michael Thiel-Paul. 


With over 20 years in massage therapy, I've assisted thousands in finding pain relief and maintaining their health. 


I work with individuals from all backgrounds and I appreciate the challenge of addressing a diverse range of pain through Remedial Massage.


From my experience, I believe professional massage is an exceptional and significantly underrated tool for promoting and maintaining health.


I've had the privilege of traveling both nationally and internationally with elite athletes, but I enjoy working with athletes of all levels, whether they be world champions to recreational enthusiasts.


My expertise is enhanced by mentorship with leading physiotherapists and over a decade of experience and qualifications in yoga, Pilates, and health and fitness.

 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 global sporting elites. 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 patients 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 14 years of experience working with athletes at all levels, from recreational to world champions, and travels nationally and internationally with professionals, ensuring continuous care 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 offer athletes of all levels top-quality Sports Massage, aiming to eb an integral part of their support team.  My 14 years of experience working with professionals during various phases of their seasons, has helped me understand 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.

 "As an athlete I have been fortunate to have had many sessions of sports massage over the years, but Michael’s are genuinely always my favourite! He understands my body and what I need just by looking at how I walk in, and is always able to fix any niggles or help recover from injuries as quickly as possible. An absolute legend!"
