Richard Lane Mobile Massage

Richard Lane initially qualified with a diploma of remedial massage at the Australasian College of Natural Therapies in Sydney in 2001 and he has been practising continuously since this time.

Since qualification, he provided remedial massage services from a clinic in Maroubra until 2007. Subsequently he has been solely offering mobile massage to the Inner West and Eastern Suburbs of Sydney and is available for home massage 7 days a week during the day/evenings. Health fund rebates are available for remedial massage for all health funds including Medibank Private, BUPA, NIB, HCF, AHM, Australian Unity, etc

Although his initial training was through ACNT, much of his subsequent study has been through Nature Care College, St Leonards. The course and qualifications obtained there include:

− Diploma of Sports Therapies (2003)

− Certificate in Myofascial Release (2003)

− Certificate in Trigger Point Therapy (2005)

From 2012 to 2015 he has been part of a team of therapists providing weekly sports massage to the AFL team, the GWS Giants.

Richard’s style is to provide remedial therapy through incorporating his training, experience and style, providing massage services for female and male clients to achieve their goals which may be relief from pain/discomfort and improved flexibility/mobility yet not forgetting that massage can (and should) be relaxing as well as therapeutic. This can be effective for those who are suffering from headaches, neck tightness or lower back pain.

For those who prefer a deep tissue and strong sports massage then he will work slowly and deeply so that you feel the bodywork at the pressure and intensity you desire, without the sensations of feeling battered and bruised for days after your massage. If you prefer a gentler massage with a greater emphasis on relaxation then his approach is to be adaptable and sensitive to your requirements.

Services

Remedial Massage

If you are suffering from aches, pains, stiffness or headaches caused by muscular tension then remedial massage can help. In Sydney Remedial massage can be considered as a generic phrase as there is not one specific type of remedial massage and any massage that provides “remedy” for the ailment can be considered to be a remedial massage.

Richard incorporates all his training within his intuitive remedial massage so a session could include some deep tissue massage, some myofascial release or some trigger point therapy depending on how the muscles and soft tissues of your body feel. Whilst some remedial massage can involve the use of greater force than a Swedish massage, Richard works within your pain tolerance levels with the emphasis being on improving muscle function without you feeling battered and bruised.

Health fund rebates may be available for remedial massage depending upon your policy – Richard is registered with all health funds including BUPA, NIB, Medibank Private, HCF and Grand United.

Sports Massage

Sports massage in Sydney can be applicable for anyone who exercises and participates in sports at any level. You do not have to be performing at a high level to benefit from sports soft tissue therapy.

Sports massage is not just relevant around competition time. It is relevant for performance maintenance, recovery from heavy training, injury recovery/prevention as well as pre- and post-event. The techniques and pressures used will be adapted to your personal circumstances and your particular activity.

Richard has trained and has experience in sports therapies. From 2012 he has worked regularly with GWS Giants AFL as part of a group of sports massage therapists. He can incorporate a range of techniques relevant to your requirements at whatever stage of training or competition you are at.

Deep Tissue Therapy

Most people who book in for a deep tissue massage in Sydney expect to receive a massage that is strong, focused and will cause them some degree of pain and discomfort. And whilst Richard can provide an intense strong massage, deep tissue bodywork is much more than this.

Strictly speaking, deep tissue massage is about working the deeper layers of muscles and soft tissue to enhance muscle function, improve posture and reduce pain. It is not (necessarily) about working with a lot of pressure. In order to reach the deeper layers of muscle then therapists need to cultivate a touch that can penetrate through superficial layers at that same time as working to release adhesions and restrictions at the deeper level.

Richard has trained with renown deep tissue teacher, Art Riggs, and works slowly within your pain tolerance level to provide you with more comfort and ease in your everyday life through effective deep tissue massage.

Relaxation/Swedish

Although many people prefer a deep strong massage, there are many massage recipients who just like to relax and de-stress with a Swedish relaxation massage. Richard will adapt your massage depending on your particular needs at the time of the appointment.

Pregnancy Massage

There are significant benefits from having a massage at home. These advantages are amplified for women who are looking for pregnancy massage. When you are approaching full term, why would you consider driving to and from a clinic when you could experience great massage in your own home?

Whilst the majority of pregnancy massage therapists are female, many women who are after more of a remedial and therapeutic experience (rather than a nurturing massage) are indifferent to the gender of the therapist – they just want great massage.

Richard has trained and is experienced in pregnancy massage and is available 7 days a week (including evenings).

Please Note:

Richard does not use a ‘pregnancy massage table” with a hole cut out for the belly – most professional pre-natal massage therapist do not recommend their use. He will massage you in the safe side-lying position using a pregnancy massage cushion.

Heartworks Lomi Lomi

Richard has trained in Heartworks Lomi Lomi massage (not to be confused with Kahuna massage). Whilst Richard is available to provide this very relaxing modality, it is probably advisable to call to discuss whether it is appropriate for your particular circumstances and requirements.

Reviews

“Have been seeing Richard for so many years I cannot remember. Love the home visits, it is so convenient as well as being a great massage. He has helped me worked through a few injuries and getting a few years older – it really helps.”

“Richard is a great massage therapist. Have been seeing Richard for over twelve months. Highly recommend him if you are looking for a massage that works all the knots out as well as soothing. Love my home visits so convenient.”

“About 2 years ago I moved to Sydney and was struggling to find a good massage therapist. A friend recommended Richard and he’s been my therapist ever since. He is a fantastic MT, with the knowledge and versatility to address whatever concerns I’m having. Whether it’s an injury due to training or a preventative massage, he can deliver on what’s needed. The added bonus is that he is mobile and will come right to your home. This for me is amazing, as it’s a time saver and also a more relaxing experience. I would definitely recommend Richard for any MT needs. ”

“I discovered Richard’s mobile service in August 2012, when I was looking for a remedial massage therapist after experiencing long term back pain. The added bonus of someone coming to my home was that I could save time in travel, but even more importantly get lasting benefits from the treatment, relaxed at home rather than getting back in to my car and driving through Sydney traffic.

I had some initial concerns about how comfortable I would feel, but Richard is nothing but professional in his demeanour and I have felt safe and well looked after.

I now see Richard on a regular basis as part of my health care regime. My back issues have almost resolved but I have found that the regular benefits of appropriate massage in the hands of a discerning professional are amazing.

The online booking system is also fantastic and incredibly efficient.

I have recommended Richard to several friends and they too have found his services exceptional.”

“I received my first massage from Richard 8 years ago, and saw him regularly until he left the practice he was working with.

I have recently rediscovered Richard, and was delighted with his mobile practice. Richard now comes to me, and consistently delivers an amazing massage. He has an uncanny ability to work muscles to find exactly where a problem lies, and how to remove that problem.

I recommend Richard’s massage services to anyone to appreciates an excellent quality massage.”
