Bathurst Remedial Massage

My name is Lisa smith. I formed Bathurst Remedial Massage after moving from the Blue Mountains in 2012. Whilst I have a technical Diploma of Remedial Massage, am a member of the ‘Association of Massage Therapists’ (AMT), my practical application of massage skills have been developed over several years of ongoing post graduate training through working partnerships with leading health practitioners. After building up a client base from home my business has expanded and a new chapter has begun, with a move to the centre of town in the rooms of Freeform Osteopathy.

Having emigrated to Australia from the UK in 1991, I began to take an interest in alternative therapies and holistic health care, in particular remedial massage therapy. With my Diploma and more than 5 years of solid, up-to-date ‘industry experience’ I began to develop the techniques that I use in my practise today.

Muscle pain is most frequently related to tension, overuse, or muscle injury from exercise or physically demanding work. My specialty is in releasing muscle tension and pain associated with specific occupations or sporting activities, increasing the range of movement and re-aligning the body to permit correct function.

I target specific areas of need, as an example, for an office worker we may need to focus predominantly on specific neck and shoulder muscles. These muscle groups often cause referred pain and a reduced range of shoulder movement due to postural changes. Other examples may include mothers, nurses and carers that often experience low back pain due to excessive loading on the lumbar vertebrae and around the sacrum.

Following the initial consultation a treatment plan is developed. This can include specific techniques such as myofascial release, trigger point therapy and deep tissue massage.

Most clients experience a genuine state of deep relaxation and optimal healing.

Remedial massage is beneficial for sports and workplace injuries, specific ailments such as sciatica and arthritis, and is even common place in the management of post traumatic stress disorders.

I value the feedback from my clients and constantly strive to improve the quality of that service. As a result, a high percentage of my business is from repeat customers and referrals. I would welcome the opportunity to earn your trust and delivery you the best service in the industry.
