URBAN LEOPARD

WHAT WE DO

Quite simply put, we help people who are in pain out of pain. We either do this through specialised Myotherapy or Remedial Massage techniques or functional strength training but usually a combination of both.

The truth of it is, if you come in with a particular injury or just muscular pain, (excluding an accident or impact injury) chances are you’ve been carrying dysfunctional movement patterns for a while. When these patterns break down and are repeated thousands of times over, they will eventually stress an area to a point which leads to pain.

Our job is to treat that area to give you relief from that pain but more importantly, to work out why that pain is there and get a game plan in place to make sure that pain never comes back again. This is where you come in. Our treatment plans are not passive for the client. Nearly all of them will include supervised strength training after your pain has lessened to a point that you can move freely.

What you can expect as a first time client is an hour long consultation with your Myotherapist or Remedial Massage Therapist where we discuss your injury/pain. Over the course of the treatment we’ll glean as much information from you as we can, we’ll asses certain movements, the way your muscle looks and feels and we’ll have plenty of time left over to give you the best damn deep tissue massage you’ve ever had to give you the relief that you’re seeking. We hold our standards high so we feel comfortable saying that.

Once you are pain-free we begin a specialised strength program, specifically tailored to your case. We continue your strength training in conjunction with deep tissue massage treatment (30 minutes of each) through your muscle and connective tissue. This makes sure we can iron out any kinks that are trying to creep back in from the old compensatory patterns that we are trying to break down. As you get stronger in your new posture, your old pain patterns will fall away, as the areas that were once stressed and painful are now supported by your new biomechanics.

THERAPIST BIO

When people ask me why I am became a Remedial Massage Therapist it wasn’t just because I loved getting massages (Ok it kinda was) but my ‘aha moment’ came when I experienced injury myself and sought remedial treatment. The difference I felt from my first few sessions had a much more profound effect than the usual  ‘feel good factor’ of a regular Day spa massage.

I realised then and there that I wanted to be able assist people who were in pain to be able regain not only a sense of balance but thrive again through massage. There is nothing better than being able to connect with my clients, learning their stories and using my knowledge and skills as a remedial therapist to walk beside them in their healing journey.

I understand the emotional and debilitating effects injury can have and when a client comes in with a presenting problem from injury or just being run down, I like to treat the body as a whole and not just the symptoms.

Using advanced and very specific deep tissue techniques, I really like to sink in deeply to unwind muscle tension, which is causing the back pain, migraines or sports injuries that I see. BUT being a self confessed ‘massage addict’ I believe my clients should have their cake and eat it too, treatment wise, so I will always leave time for a decent foot rub or a head massage.

Reviews

“I had really bad tennis elbow for years and had seen countless Chiropractors and Doctors with no lasting results. I saw Ki and through her treatments felt massive improvements. I now only need to see her for maintenance and strength training. I feel mint! �”

“Welcome back and thank you for saving my back and legs and giving me hope.”

“Ki is lovely and welcoming, she seemed to intuitively know exactly what I needed. It was a great remedial treatment and I could claim it on my private health insurance. The coffee downstairs is awesome as well.”

“I finally found and EXCELLENT remedial massage therapist in Melbourne, Live And Let Massage is owned by Ki. She was impeccably professional, did a full analysis on my general health & took the upmost care with my muscles, aches and pains. I Had never felt so relaxed and at ease. Love Live And Let Massage! Highly Recommend. “
