Recovery · 60 minutes · $130
Recovery work for people who train.
Deliberate, full body bodywork between sessions. Rosebery, weeknight evenings, by appointment.
Built for the week after a heavy block.
If you run, lift, ride or play, you already know the problem. You recover well enough to train again, and never quite well enough to feel loose. Tension accumulates in the same three places and stays there through the season.
This is a full sixty minutes of unhurried, whole body work. Not fifteen minutes on a calf and a handshake. Slow, deliberate pressure across the whole chain, so the areas compensating for the sore one get attention too.
Sessions run in the evening, which is when most people actually finish training. You go home afterwards rather than back to a desk, and the work holds better for it.
Who books this
- Runners in a build phase, or the fortnight after a race
- Lifters carrying the usual thoracic and hip restriction
- Cyclists and triathletes deep in a training block
- Team sport players through a season
- Anyone training five or more days a week who has stopped recovering properly between them
Being straight with you about scope
I would rather you read this before booking than find out on the table.
- This is not remedial massage. I hold a Certificate IV in Massage Therapy, which covers relaxation and wellness work rather than remedial. No health fund rebates are available on any session here.
- I do not treat injuries. If you have a strain, a tear, tendinopathy or anything acute, you want a remedial therapist, a physio or a sports doctor. Go and see one, then come here for the maintenance work afterwards.
- I use lymphatic techniques, I am not a lymphatic drainage specialist. If you are post surgical or managing lymphoedema, that needs someone qualified in it specifically.
- No dry needling, cupping or manipulation. Hands only.
What is left after all of that is still the thing most people are actually looking for. An hour of proper, attentive, full body work from someone who is paying attention.
How the studio runs
This is a private, single practitioner studio, not a shopfront. There is no reception and no waiting area, because there is only ever one client here at a time.
- Every session is fully draped. Standard professional practice, no exceptions.
- New clients message before the first booking. A short exchange about what you train and what you are after. It takes two minutes and it means I can plan the hour properly.
- Appointment times are exact. Arrive at your time rather than early. There is nowhere to wait, by design.
- This is a therapeutic practice. Any enquiry suggesting otherwise is declined and blocked, without a reply.
New clients, please message before your first booking. 60 minutes, $130. Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, 5pm to 8:30pm. 414 Gardeners Road, Rosebery.
