I am a qualified senior clinical massage therapist specialising in treatment of and recovery from muscular pain and restriction. In many cases clients initially present with ongoing issues which they have been living with for a long time.  Over the past 24 years I have treated a lot of people for a lot of different reasons.  Some of these include: 

  • Rehabilitation following surgery or injury 

  • Referred pain such as headaches, nerve pain (sciatic, numbess and/or tingling in extremities)

  • Neck restriction or whip lash related issues

  • Rotator cuff restriction or injury

  • Hip or lower back restriction or pain

  • Spinal disc issues

  • Chronic postural issues

  • Desire to improve sports performance 

  • Work related pain (often overuse)

  • Myofasical restriction affecting mouth, jaw and/or vocal chords

  • Myofascial restriction impacting hip movement, breathing and pelvic mobility

  •  

BY FAR the majority of clients have undiagnosed pain/restriction that affects their life, sport, hobbies or movement in some way and just want to feel better, more mobile or just be able to enjoy their life without the concern or frustration of injury or pain.

I have extensive experience in both the health & fitness industry as well as providing rehabilitation services which I have bought together to form Infinity Health.  I've worked as a self-employed personal trainer both in Australia and New Zealand, as well as owned and operated my own successful health club.  I have managed and mentored a large database of personal trainers as well as set up a personal training and rehabilitation programme within a high profile health club chain in Australia.  

I have experience as a tutor (Neuromuscular Therapy Diploma course at the New Zealand College of Massage) and a presenter at workshops and conferences (national & international).

 

I am dedicated to ongoing training and have published several articles on stretching and flexibility and exercise rehabilitation.
