Remedial and Relax

About

Almost all muscular aches and pains are caused by overuse of the muscle itself.

If a muscular ache or pain is left to get worse, it can introduce further problems such as headaches, overuse syndromes, sleep loss and imbalances in the muscular system such as the classic

hunched shoulders of a desk worker (1). This not only saps your quality of life, but it decreases your energy levels while increasing your stress levels.

My treatments are focused on immediate mitigation of your aches, pains, injuries and stress by using tailored combinations of professional massage and stretching techniques including (my specialties in bold), myo-fascial release, trigger point therapy, muscle energy technique, proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation and both active and passive release techniques. Different conditions call for different approaches, and it is this philosophy that allows me to achieve the best results for you.

Remedial:

This consists of a treatment that is focused on your specific problem areas.
You may, for example, feel that your neck and shoulders are tight and ‘knotty’. Congestions like this will worsen without treatment and can eventually cause health issues including nerve impingements (1), tension headaches and postural/biomechanical issues  (2, 3).

The muscular system is a mechanical system, and just like a machine, if it goes without maintenance, it will slow down and strain.
Remedial massage provides the solution to return your body to its best potential by incorporating physical & postural assessment tests as well as varied and effective massage techniques stemming from multiple disciplines.

Relaxation:

A relaxation massage is more focused on gently releasing muscles throughout the body and is perfect for those without regional muscle congestion.
A relaxation massage can cover the whole body or specific regions.

This treatment is great for simply entering a state of relaxation that allows you to feel total calm. It is a great refresher for the mind and body and is in many ways just as important as a remedial treatment.

Testimonials

“I started seeing Tillman for Remedial Massage Therapy in September 2014 towards the end of my final year studying a bachelor degree in dance at the Victorian College of the Arts. Tillman has a strong understanding of the physical pressures a dancer or athlete experience in their training and caters to both prepping the body for peak performance and the recovery process after. He is considerate and calm with his touch in relation to areas which are tender but will apply the pressure needed to increase range of motion, blood flow and restore the muscles to a healthy, relaxed state. Tillman is confident, easy-going and creates a very comfortable experience in the hands of a professional. Whatever your Massage Therapy needs are Tillman will always have your best interests at heart.” – Kaitlyn McConnell.

“I have had Tillman come to our house for several treatments as I have found him to be an excellent masseur. After several years living in Asia and having regular weekly massages I know when I come across a masseur who knows what they are doing. Tillman has an ability to find the treat the problem areas with precision and  just the right amount of pressure.
I would also like to mention that he has treated me while I was heavily pregnant and my husband for a troublesome knee. Tillman  is always polite, reliable and punctual and I would highly recommend him to anyone for remedial or relaxation massage.” – Naomi Cox.

“Tillman has shown a remarkable insight into my body’s structural problems and had equally remarkable and positive results with his treatments. He carefully explains his plans and invites feedback at all stages.
I can highly recommend Tillman personally and recommend his skills as a therapist.” – FJC.
