20.01.2022 Are you of the belief that a massage has to be painful to be effective? Well you are wrong. Sort of. There are obviously different kinds of massage you can receive, and a relaxation massage will never be painful. But what about a deep tissue massage? Let's clear up something first, there is a difference between pain and discomfort. I often hear clients say 'it's a good hurt', explaining the feeling of discomfort. When we come across tight muscles in the body, normally caus...ed by trigger points, those areas will be tender. So when pressure is applied, you will get that feeling of discomfort as your muscles try to resist the pressure the therapist is applying. You may often be asked what is the pain level out of 10. The therapist should never be aiming for a 10/10, as this represents the most amount of discomfort you can handle, and therefore an 11/10 we might get a kick in the face! That is when it crosses the boundaries and is 'painful'. This pain is normally associated with feelings of sharp, burning or heat, which is not what we are aiming for! See more

15.01.2022 Heated blanket for the massage table for winter

11.01.2022 Now offering Myofascial Cupping in all Remedial treatments. . Myofascial Cupping is different from traditional cupping methods where negatively pressurized cups glide over the body. Marking of the skin is NOT part of the desired treatment outcome. This method of cupping works really well with joint mobilization’s and is performed at a pressure level that is almost painless to the client! .... If you’ve not tried cupping before, or have been previously turned off due to those big welt marks left by other cupping methods, then this is for you! See more

10.01.2022 Great news.... can now accept all forms of payment. Visa, MasterCard, AMEX, Apple Pay and other forms of contactless payments.

08.01.2022 EXCITING NEWS!! I can now offer Private Health Insurance rebates on my services, and as a result, fees for massage services have changed to be in line with industry standards. 30mins - $55... 45mins - $70 60mins - $85 (longer services available, please contact for a price and availability) Please let me know what health insurance provider you are with when booking so I can prepare you a receipt in advance. As a small business, I unfortunately won't be offering HICAPS instant claim facilities so all treatments are required to be paid in full at time of service. You can then make the claim yourself direct with your fund. Normally these are paid same day. Don't forget I am now also offering Myofascial Cupping as part or all of your treatment! Stay Tuned for my new logo coming soon!

07.01.2022 If you are still feeling the effects of doing Murph once or several times over the weekend, here are a few stretches you can try which are my favs. 1. Pecs. This door frame stretch is fantastic and def my top pec stretch. Find yourself a door frame and make sure elbow to hand is touching then gently lean forwards. You can adjust the angle of your arm up or down to target specific fibers throughout your pecs. 2. Lats - from all the pull-ups. Whilst kneeling, gently move your a...rms across in one direction to feel the Lats on the opposite side, repeat for both sides. You can do this stretch standing up, you can lean on a table or bench or up against the wall. 3. Quads - which were smashed in both the running and squats. There are many variations to this one, most importantly for this position is to stand up tall and ensure your knees are together. . Stretching should be held for a min of 15sec. And you shouldn’t experience any pain. . Please let me know if I can help with any other stretches, or if you’d like to book in for some remedial massage. See more

02.01.2022 Alleviate Therapy is proud to be involved with this event raising funds for the Breast Cancer Network Australia. Get down to Crossfit IronBear in Scoresby on October 28th to see Steve Jenner do the Crossfit Hero wod 'Murph' for 24hours. I'll be there offering athlete massages with all proceeds going direct to the BCNA.

01.01.2022 What is so important about sleep? I've struggled with sleep for a good part of my life, it's something I just deal with, but last night I had a good 10hrs and feeling great, so thought I'd share a few things about sleep and muscle recovery. During sleep our body is able to: restore organs, tissues and bone; and replenish immune cells. During 'deep sleep' our brain is resting with little activity, therefore blood supply is available to muscles which helps to deliver extra oxygen and nutrients to facilitate healing and growth. Muscles and the surrounding tissues are rejuvenated during this phase of sleep. On the flip side... a lack of sleep causes a decline in the secretion of growth hormones (HGH). A deficiency of HGH is associated with increased obesity, loss of muscle mass and reduced exercise capacity. So SLEEP!!
