Paul Barretto Massage Therapist

My name is Paul Barretto I am a fully qualified and accreditied Remedial Massage Therapist with over 15 years Massage Experience. I graduated in 2006 with a Diploma in Remedial Massage. The Diploma I completed required 2 years full time study.
I first studied massage from my Tai Chi Teacher where I learnt Chinese Massage also known as Tui Na, then moved on to doing Corporate Chair Massage and from there to Table Massage which I specialise in now.
Since graduating in 2006 I have focused primarily on Sports Massage, assisting many athletes in their recovery, injury management and preparation for events. The majority of these althletes have been Marathon and Ultramarathon runners, Triathlon athletes, as well as Cyclists, Swimmers and Rowers.

I also however have assisted many non athletes who maintain a less rigorous exercise regime. Issues such as neck, shouldrer, back, glut, leg, and foot pain as well as headaches are all within my area of expertise.

I am available 7 days per week by appointment only.

Testimonials:
“Paul’s style of sports massage is without doubt one of the best I have experienced. His deep tissue and trigger point release brings me relief to sore and stiff muscles – particularly my lower back and hamstrings, enabling me to train and compete at increased intensity levels. He has also helped me identify sore spots and prevent them from becoming injuries. I would definitely recommend him to anyone serious about their sport.”

"Having competed in triathlon and marathon running for over 10 years I have certainly seen my fair share of massage therapists. Upon relocating to Perth a few years ago I had the difficult task of finding a massage therapist who could cater to my needs in terms of injury prevention and recovery.

A fellow athlete recommended I try Paul Barretto. After my first session I knew I had made the right decision. From deep tissue massage to trigger point therapy, Paul has the ability to pin point problem areas and quickly resolve them. I would highly recommend Paul to any athlete (or non-athlete) who has the desire to train and perform at their best."

Having competed in a number of ultra marathons around the world I have learnt the importance of injury prevention and proper recovery practices. Massage therapy now always forms a key element in my recovery and preparation strategies. Regular massage and trigger point therapy has allowed me to beat a history of soft tissue injuries, recover quicker, and has ultimately allowed me to run better for longer. It is my belief that Paul’s professional, thorough approach, coupled with his technique and willingness to work with the client, make him ideally suited to aiding athletes of all standards recover and perform at their best.”

“Paul has been a good friend and my personal massage therapist for some years.

He has been able to offer me excellent remedial massage treatment for a variety of complaints that I have encountered over the years due to my professional practice as a ceramic artist. In fact he has kept me mobile.

Paul has very healing sensitive strong hands, he combines excellent technical skills with a calm nature and positive outlook, and I would highly recommend Paul as an outstanding professional massage therapist.”

" I was getting very bad headaches, at least one every three days for about the last month or so. I had been to several physio sessions and Chinese massage sessions. None of these helped. I had one massage with Paul at Hilton Sports Massage and he found pressure points related to my headaches. After one session with Paul, I had no more headaches, in fact as I write this, one month later, I’ve only had one headache since. I think this is due to my chair at work. Great massage Thanks ."

"I have known Paul Barretto for the past eight years and have always found him to be a genuine, honest, trustworthy and extremely caring person, and a great inspiration particularly in our shared passion of healing and massage. Paul is a gentle man with strong, sensitive and healing hands and a lovely compassionate heart. His professional approach is outstanding and he is very focused and attentive. He works intuitively using a variety of techniques including Sports Massage, Deep Tissue, Trigger Point, Swedish and Chinese Traditional Massage always drawing upon his vast wealth of knowledge of the human body. Having a massage with Paul is a truly profound experience - you will come away feeling deeply nurtured, pain free and totally energised. Don't miss this experience!"

“I have attended the clinic for 6 months originally with a severe restriction in my shoulder, along with lower back pain which had failed to improve despite traditional medical treatment. Within a short space of time I had obtained marked pain relief and improved mobility of the shoulder and spine. Paul’s treatment methods with trigger point therapy and deep tissue massage have been extremely beneficial to me. I particularly appreciate the discussion prior to massage as to how we will proceed with differing treatment to continually improve specific problem areas. Along with a tailored exercise and stretching program the benefits are obvious with considerably lowered pain and discomfort .The overall treatment approach is one I would highly recommend.”

" Prior to my first treatment with Paul I was despondent at the thought of not being able to go for my daily afternoon run – something I looked forward to all day. The pain and aches were becoming quite disabling.
I had tried other avenues of treatment and it was suggested I have medical imaging in an attempt to pin point my problem. Not wanting to take that path just yet, I found Paul’s details on the internet and booked in for my first massage. An excellent decision.
Paul’s history taking and assessment skills were excellent and he was able to find the source of my problem within the first treatment. He also gives great advice on stretches and treatment to do between visits.
After only three massages I am pain free and up and running again. Despite my speedy recovery I will continue to have regular sessions with Paul to maintain condition if not for the fantastic relaxation time!”

"Paul, just wanted to say a huge thank you for your treatments following my sciatica injury. As you know, I was really worried about the 4 day bushwalking trip I had booked. Thanks to you, I had virtually no problems and the walking holiday was a great success. Although I have had massage therapy at home in Melbourne in the past, I didn't know who to go to here in Perth. Luckily I struck gold - you asked all the right questions, made sure you knew exactly what the problem was, and more importantly, nailed the solution with trigger point massage in particular. It is really great to find a therapist who is so client-centred - for me, that made all the difference."
Cheers.

"I came to Perth from Canada to compete in the Perth International Sailing Regatta. I was dealing with an over use hip injury and was unsure if I could compete but with the help of Paul, I was able to get out on the water and had a successful event. Paul's trigger point therapy worked amazingly for me."

Cheers!
