Remedial massage, deep tissue, myofascial release, cupping, pregnancy massage, chronic pain and stress relief, and sports recovery treatments from Justin's clinic Huon Valley clinic in Ranelagh.
Chronic pain doesn’t play by the same rules as a pulled muscle or an acute injury. It’s layered, persistent, and often deeply intertwined with how we move, work, rest, and experience stress. My chronic pain management massage approach is gentle, collaborative, and long-term. There’s no “quick fix” promise here — just a commitment to working with you over time to explore what your body needs and how it responds. Through soft tissue work, body awareness, pacing strategies, and education, I support clients living with conditions like fibromyalgia, recurring injuries, nerve sensitivity, and postural strain.

Cupping therapy is an ancient time-tested method that uses suction to gently lift the skin and underlying tissues. Unlike traditional massage, which compresses the muscle, cupping creates negative pressure — drawing tissues upward to increase blood flow, reduce inflammation, and support the body’s natural detox process. It’s a powerful tool for addressing stubborn tension, chronic pain, and sluggish recovery zones. At my clinic in Ranelagh, I use cupping as part of a broader remedial massage treatment plan. Whether it’s for a locked-up lower back, knotted shoulders, or post-workout fatigue, cupping can be a helpful — and surprisingly relaxing — addition to your care.

Deep tissue massage is designed for people carrying long-term, deep-seated muscular tension. Whether from work, exercise, stress, or old injuries, this massage technique helps release the grip of tight muscle fibres and fascia. It’s not about applying brutal pressure — it’s about working gradually and mindfully with your body to restore natural movement, relieve pain, and support your nervous system. Ideal for chronic neck, back, and hip tightness, deep tissue massage encourages circulation, improves mobility, and brings a sense of ease where your body needs it most.

Fascia is the body's connective tissue network — a spiderweb-like structure that wraps around your muscles, bones, and organs. When it becomes tight or restricted, it can cause discomfort, limit mobility, and lead to long-term pain patterns. Myofascial release is a gentle, targeted technique that helps soften and lengthen this tissue, creating space for your body to move freely again. It’s ideal for people with chronic tightness, postural imbalances, or pain that hasn’t responded to other types of massage. This is slow, mindful work — more about feeling than force.

Remedial massage is the foundation of my practice — it’s where we begin when pain, restriction, or imbalance shows up in your body. It’s not just a feel-good treatment (although you may feel better afterwards); it’s a clinical approach designed to identify and address the source of pain or dysfunction. Through careful assessment, movement observation, and targeted manual therapy, I work with you to create real, lasting change in your body. If you’ve got chronic tightness, postural strain, old injuries, or just feel like something isn’t moving the way it should — remedial massage can help.

Pregnancy is a time of extraordinary change — physically, emotionally, and hormonally. While it’s often celebrated, it can also be uncomfortable, exhausting, and overwhelming. Pregnancy massage provides a safe and supportive space to relieve the common discomforts of pregnancy — from lower back and hip pain to swelling, fatigue, and trouble sleeping. I offer professional, qualified massage for pregnant people at all stages of their pregnancy. Using side-lying or semi-reclined positions and gentle techniques tailored to your needs, we’ll support your changing body without pressure or strain. Sometimes, the greatest benefit is simply having space to rest and be looked after.

Sports & Recovery Massage isn’t just for elite athletes — it’s for anyone who uses their body with purpose. Whether you're lifting at the gym, running trails, training for a marathon, or simply working a physically demanding job, this treatment is designed to keep you moving well. It targets specific muscle groups stressed by your activity, helps reduce post-exercise fatigue, and supports better range of motion. We’ll use a combination of hands-on techniques like trigger point therapy, assisted stretching, and myofascial work to help your body recover smarter, not harder. It’s proactive, practical, and made for your goals.

Stress has a favourite hiding spot, the upper body. Whether it is from screen time, deadlines, poor posture or emotional tension, the neck, shoulders, and jaw often bear the brunt of modern life. This treatment is designed to unwind those high-holding zones gently and effectively. It blends slow massage, myofascial release, and trigger point work to create space, release pressure, and give your nervous system a chance to exhale. It’s ideal for people with tension headaches, stiff necks, shoulder knots, or anyone who just feels like they’re carrying it all up top. Leave feeling taller, looser, and more like yourself.

Wellness massage is about maintenance, not emergency. You don’t need to be injured or in pain to benefit from regular bodywork. In fact, regular massage is one of the best ways to prevent injury, reduce stress, and keep your body functioning well — especially if you lead a busy, physical, or mentally demanding life. These treatments are gentler than remedial sessions, but still focused and thoughtful. We may work on tight shoulders one week, and just relax the nervous system the next. It’s all about supporting you — not just your symptoms.
