Conor Robinson  - Remedial Massage Therapist

 Being a Remedial Massage Therapist is a passion. I originally entered the profession on a whim, but quickly developed a love for not only the practice of Massage itself, but of helping my clients to achieve the best that they can. I endeavour to increase the quality of life of my clients through not only the Massage itself, but with knowledge and information as well. This allows my clients to take control and make positive changes, affecting not only levels of pain, tension or discomfit, but also confidence and well-being.

I am passionate about providing the best levels of treatment possible, and nothing makes me happier than being the conduit that allows my clients to overcome pain, injuries and adversity.

I am able to perform relaxation massage, lymphatic drainage, pregnancy massage and remedial massage techniques including myofascial release and trigger point therapy.

Rebekah Walker - Deep tissue/ Relaxation Massage Therapist

I have been working with Massage for Health since mid 2009 as a Relaxation/Deep Tissue Therapist.  During this time I have discovered my passion for finding those hidden knots within muscles. I use a range of techniques to eliminate them, which have proven to be successful with many of my clients. I have a particular heart for clients who are stressed and carrying emotional tension, which can lead to muscle tightness, decreased range of movement and headaches.  On completion of each treatment it is always my hope to see clients leave the clinic feeling rejuvenated and experiencing a greater quality of life.

I've been treating at Massage for Health since April 2010. In addition to gaining a Diploma of Remedial Massage at CIT, I've also studied with the Stretch Therapy team at ANU, am a qualified gym instructor and am a Level 1 sports trainer through Sports Medicine Australia. I have experience in running and weight training, and I blend skills from these backgrounds as part of my treatments. to enable people to recover from muscular aches and pains and allow them to participate in their favourite activities.

My approach to massage and soft-tissue work is educational - by teaching and demonstrating correct movement, stretching and clinical exercise techniques, I can show you how to take the benefits of remedial massage and soft-tissue treatments and create lasting changes in your body.

I am qualified in:

* remedial massage - treatment for specific conditions, including tennis/golfer's elbow,  carpal tunnel syndromes, stiff backs, sore feet (to name a few!)

* myofascial release - for general stiffness and movement restriction

* relaxation and deep-tissue massage - ideal for aching shoulders and necks.

* manual lymphatic drainage - useful for post-injury and post-operative recovery, especially for lower-limb injuries or for reducing oedema in ladies who have had a mastectomy.

* sports massage - pre-event warmups, and post-event fatigue recovery.

* pregnancy massage - ideal for ladies needing relief from all those aches and pains encountered during pregnancy.

* baby massage - I can show you a simple sequence for introducing your bub to the joys of touch.

Cancellation policy We do not charge rescheduling fees, but we do charge cancellation fees. Cancellation fees are charged at a flat $40 for any appointment that is cancelled with less than four hours notice.  Unfortunately our therapists are contractors and are not paid if you don't turn up for your appointment. This is a common scenario in the massage industry. Please put yourself in your therapist's position and imagine how you would feel if you had wasted some very valuable time that you won't be getting paid for?   By charging cancellation fees, we will now be in a position to reimburse our staff when you cancel an appointment with less than four hours notice. You will be sent an invoice in the mail or charged the fee at your next visit.
