Meet James.
I help people move past pain and tension so they can get back to doing what they love.
After overcoming my own health challenges — including a long recovery from cancer — I understand how pain and fatigue can impact every part of life.
That’s why I focus on finding and treating the cause of your discomfort, so you can feel better for longer.
What is Remedial Massage?
Remedial massage is a targeted, therapeutic treatment designed to address the root cause of pain, tension, or dysfunction in your body. It’s not just about relaxation — it’s about results.
Each session is tailored to your specific needs and may include deep tissue techniques, trigger point work, or gentle release depending on your body and goals.
Whether you're dealing with chronic pain, recovering from an injury, or just feeling out of balance, remedial massage helps restore movement, function, and ease.
Myofascial Release
Myofascial release is a gentle, sustained technique that targets the fascia — the connective tissue that wraps around your muscles and organs. When fascia gets restricted (from stress, injury, or poor posture), it can create tension and pain that doesn't respond to regular massage.
This technique helps lengthen and unwind tight areas slowly, creating space and restoring natural movement.
Cupping Therapy
Cupping is a technique that uses suction cups to lift and release tension from the muscles and fascia. It improves blood flow, helps flush toxins, and can provide deep relief for stubborn areas.
Dry Needling
Dry needling uses fine, sterile needles to release tight muscles, deactivate trigger points, and reduce pain. It can be especially helpful for deep knots or chronic conditions that aren’t responding to massage alone.
Sound Therapy
Sound therapy works with tuning forks, bowls, and vibration to calm the nervous system and promote deep relaxation. It’s subtle, but powerful — especially when tension is linked to stress, anxiety, or emotional overwhelm.
Testimonials
Before I came to see James, I was dealing with a flare-up of tightness in my lower back. It was an emergency situation on a Sunday, and although I had never been treated by James before, he swiftly put me back together within the hour. Despite having little prior knowledge of my condition, James' quick understanding of the possible roots of the cause and his knowledge to treat them was impressive. The benefits I felt from my first treatment with James were significant and continued with subsequent sessions. It wasn’t just about the massage itself; it was about his ability to quickly grasp the issue and provide effective treatment. Since seeing James, my lifestyle has improved. His emergency massage sessions provided me with four weeks of easier pain management, which was a significant relief during a challenging time. I would wholeheartedly recommend James to others. His swift and effective approach, coupled with his ability to provide relief in emergency situations, speaks volumes about his expertise and dedication to his clients' well-being.
I came to James with bad knee pain and long-term tendinitis in my elbows. Both issues were hampering my mobility and training (running and gym). James worked on the muscles associated with these regions and from my first treatment I noticed a huge difference in my knees and elbow pain. Within a few sessions my mobility improved significantly, and I was back to training as normal. The massage process is a good way of working out areas you may be tight in and how the muscles around your joints can contribute to unwanted pain. James’ knowledge, experience and thorough approach helped me significantly to getting back on track with my training. I would highly recommend James to anyone who is wanting to ustilise massage for injury recovery and body maintenance.
Before finding James, my days were consumed by stress and anxiety, leaving me feeling overwhelmed and drained. But then, I experienced his relaxation treatments, and everything changed. From the first session, it felt like a weight had been lifted off my shoulders, replaced by a sense of peace and tranquility that I hadn't felt in ages. James's soothing touch and calming presence created a sanctuary where I could truly unwind and reconnect with myself. Since then, my nights are filled with restful sleep, and I face each day with newfound clarity and strength. I can't recommend James enough to anyone seeking solace and renewal. His care and expertise have truly transformed my life.
FAQ's
Your Questions Answered: Enhancing Your Wellness Journey
Where are you located and is there parking available?
I’m located at Level 1/119 Bloomfield St, Cleveland QLD 4163. Parking is available out the front. When you arrive, walk up the stairs — the treatment room is to the left, and the waiting area (attached to the yoga studio) is to the right. Please wait quietly, as there may be a class in session, and help yourself to tea or water before your appointment.
What payment methods do you accept?
I accept cash and card payments. HICAPS is available for on-the-spot private health fund claims.
Can massage help with headaches or migraines?
Yes — in many cases, headaches and migraines are linked to tension in the neck, shoulders, and upper back. Massage can help release this tension and reduce discomfort.
Do you offer mobile or home visits?
Not at the moment — all appointments are held at my Cleveland clinic.
Can I book a massage if I’m pregnant?
Yes. Massage can be very beneficial during pregnancy. We will adapt your treatment based on your trimester to ensure safety and comfort.
Do you offer gift vouchers?
Yes — they make a thoughtful gift for any occasion.
How long are your appointments?
You can choose between 60- or 90-minute sessions.
Do you offer relaxation massage as well as remedial?
Yes. My treatments often blend remedial and relaxation techniques to help you reduce pain, tension, and stress in one session.
Can I have a massage if I’m sick or injured?
If you’re unwell and may spread illness (e.g. cold, flu, or other contagious conditions), it’s best to reschedule so we can keep everyone healthy. For injuries, it depends on the nature and stage of healing — I can work around some injuries, but others may need rest before treatment.
Can I choose the pressure of my massage?
Absolutely. I work with you throughout the session to find the pressure that feels right for you.
Can I have a massage if I’m sore from the gym?
Yes. Massage is excellent for post-workout recovery, reducing muscle soreness, and improving flexibility.
Do you treat sports injuries?
Yes. I can assist with injury recovery and ongoing management, often in collaboration with other health professionals.
How often should I get a massage?
This depends on your needs. For chronic or long-term pain, I recommend a few treatments close together before moving to a maintenance plan — often monthly sessions. We’ll work together to find the right frequency for you.
