Hello, My Name is Peter Hanslow
My qualifications and training are a Diploma of Remedial Massage at the Australian Institute of Massage, Perth, certificate IV in Massage therapy, The 4 Quadrant chair massage, sports massage, and trigger-point therapy.
Remedial massages are specific to restoring balance to your body and improve posture.
I also have a qualification in Personal Training as a Master Trainer from the Australian Institute of Fitness, so I can prescribe exercises to help you keep your body in balance between massages.
My nickname has been Peter Haze to my friends since I was a teenager and is a catchy title for my website. It’s easier to remember.
Maybe it’s the single syllable? Funny story actually, ok, maybe not so much funny, but a LONG story! Maybe I’ll save it for my memoirs.
I moved to Brisbane from Perth in July 2012 to explore the other side of the country.
I had been on many holidays over east but it’s always a new experience to live somewhere else rather than just visit. I love Perth and I love Brisbane. Australia is very much home for me.
I completed my certificate IV in Massage therapy in 2006 and went on to complete my Diploma of Remedial Massage in 2007
I will always have my current first aid certificate and continue to study new courses. Anything to do with the science of body mechanics fascinates me to no end.
My goal is to always provide you with the absolute best massage experience.
I chose massage above my training in graphic design, landscape gardening, personal training and hospitality function coordinating because I find it’s the most rewarding.
My passion is helping people be at their best, and in turn helps me be at mine.

<h2>Services</h2>
Remedial Massage Therapy
Remedial massage is a holistic treatment for the whole of the body, as well as the area being treated, providing relief through the manual manipulation of soft tissue, skin, fascia, muscles, tendons and joints through various massage techniques, as well as stretching.
It can be gentle or strong, deep or shallow.
Passive Stretching and Muscles Energy techniques are also used.
Swedish Relaxation Massage
During Swedish massage, I use massage oils to facilitate smooth, gliding strokes over the entire body.
Other classic Swedish massage moves include kneading, friction, stretching and (sometimes) tapping.
Swedish massage uses firm but gentle pressure to promote relaxation, ease muscle tension and create other health benefits listed at the bottom of the page.
Sports Massage
Sports massage is a special form of massage and is typically used before, during, and after athletic events.
The purpose of the massage is to prepare the athlete for peak performance, to drain away fatigue, to relieve swelling, to reduce muscle tension, to promote flexibility, and to prevent injuries.
The main purpose of sports massage therapy is to help alleviate the stress and tension that builds up in the body’s soft tissues during physical activity.
Where minor injuries and lesions occur, due to overexertion and/or overuse, massage can break them down quickly and effectively.
The massage will help prepare the athlete for peak performance, drain away fatigue, relieve swelling, reduce muscle tension, promote flexibility, and prevent injuries.
Sports massage can help prevent those niggling injuries that so often get in the way of performance and achievement, whether a person be an athlete or a once-a-week jogger.
Myofascial Release Therapy
Fascia is most easily described with the metaphor of an orange.
Imagine (but not for too long!) that the orange fruit slices are muscle, fascia would then be the white pith that separates and compartmentalizes the entire orange.
Fascia acts the same within the body, covering and interpenetrating every muscle, bone, nerve, artery and vein, as well as all of our internal organs, for example the heart, lungs, brain, and spinal cord.
The most interesting aspect of the fascial system is that it is not just a system of separate coverings; rather, it is actually one structure that exists from head to toe without interruption.
In this way, you can begin to see that each part of your entire body is connected to every other part by the fascia.
In the normal healthy state, the fascia is relaxed and wavy in configuration. It has the ability to stretch and move without restriction.
When we experience physical trauma, scarring, or inflammation, however, the fascia loses its pliability. It becomes tight, restricted, and a source of tension to the rest of the body.
Trauma, such as a fall, whiplash, surgery, or just habitual poor posture over time and repetitive stress injuries, has a cumulative effect.
The changes they cause in the fascial system influence comfort and the functioning of our body.
The fascia can exert excessive pressure, producing pain or restriction of motion. This can affect our flexibility and stability, and is a determining factor in our ability to withstand stress and strain.
I use slow and concentrated pressure to stretch and relax the fascia. If the fascia relaxes, the amazing effect is that the muscles encapsulated within the fascia will relax along with it
Muscle Energy Technique (MET)
Muscle Energy is a direct and active technique; meaning it engages a restrictive barrier and requires the patient’s participation for maximal effect.
As the patient performs an isometric contraction, the following physiological changes occur: (1) The golgi tendon organ activation results in direct inhibition of agonist muscles.
(2) A reflexive reciprocal inhibition occurs at the antagonistic muscles.
(3) As the patient relaxes agonist and antagonist muscles remain inhibited allowing the joint to be moved further into the restricted range of motion.
Seated Chair Massage
Chair massage is a short massage, anywhere from five to 30 minutes, done through the clothing.
It typically focuses on key tension areas in the back, neck, shoulders, and arms.
Seated chair massage is performed in a specially designed ergonomic massage chair made by Azima Massage Chairs.
