“As a 60 year old continuing to play touch football keeps me young but seems to get tougher every year. Nick has his work cut out keeping me on the field and injury free. I strongly recommend Nick’s professional services for anyone that is relatively more advanced in years and still actively engaged in sport”

“Nick truly is a master of his trade. As a competitive age-group triathlete, sports massage plays an integral role in my regular program, enhancing performance and minimising injury. I have been extremely fortunate to find a masseuse as exceptional as Nick. His technical knowledge combined with physical strength and manual dexterity ensure that problem areas, niggles and injuries are effectively treated every visit”

“Nick was recommended to me by a couple of friends, I was feeling physically and mentally fatigued due to a grueling state representative training schedule. I have never been one for looking after my body, so it had suffered years of neglect and continual punishment, Nick had his work cut out for him.

After my first visit there was a noticeable increase in my performance. The explosive power I needed in my legs to play gridiron had returned as well as easing the little niggles that creep up on you when you are a mature aged athlete. Nick kept me on the training field and gave me the edge I needed to compete at a National level.

Nick understands what it takes physically and mentally to push yourself to be the best.  With his years of experience, and extensive knowledge I know Nick will be able to keep me on the field physically and mentally. I believe with his ongoing treatment my best is yet to come!”

Michael Hewitt

P T & Founder Xcentuate & The Wrecking Yard – Stones Corner

“I was introduced to Nick by one of my clients as I’d had an ongoing shoulder complaint that no one seemed to be able to fix or help with. This injury had kept me from lifting weights for nearly a year.

I’d never heard of or had a Myofascial Release massage before ….. but after my first experience with Nick I knew this treatment and Nick himself could help me.

During treatment, over the next few weeks, the pain in my shoulder started to subside and my range of movement improved … improved to the point where I could lift again.

Since that time I regularly get back to see Nick, not for injuries but for maintenance of my body, so I can keep exercising at the level I am a custom to.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND NICK!”

.

“I first saw Nick some 3 years ago. I’d been struggling with various injuries, and thought my days of racing around in lycra were over. Fast forward to today, I’m basking in having just completed Ultraman Australia – a crazy event of 10km of swimming, 421km of cycling an 84km double marathon, coming 4th overall in an uber-competitive field. In the years before this (with many body maintenance sessions with Nick over this time), I’ve punched out two ironmans and claimed various race wins, including National age group Sprint and Olympic distance triathlon titles. I’d highly recommend Nick to anyone keen to maximise their physical potential.”

“Nick’s treatments have really helped me improve my swimming. For the past few years, Nick’s massages have been a crucial part of injury management and prevention for me, and have allowed me to improve both my flexibility and strength. Having regular massages has meant that I’m always ready to train or race in the best condition. “

Throughout my playing career, and now into my early retirement, Nick has been able to keep my broken body in one piece. With chronic shoulder problems, back issues and now serious hip issues, the work Nick does with me allows me to move around and be pain free. I definitely recommend Nick to my friends and will continue to see him as another measure before any more operations. Don’t be shy he is a great bloke to.

Thanks Nick

Deciding to embark on an intensive weights and cardio program when you’re close to 40 is obviously going to put your body under significant stress.  The inevitable outcome (without the appropriate recovery and holistic support) would be lack of progress due to injury.  Thanks to Nick’s significant experience and expertise, any discomfort as a result of exercise-associated injury has been short lived and I continue to make progress without any chronic and debilitating pain.

“Nick brings to his work as a massage therapist/trainer a level of intelligence that makes you feel that you are in competent hands – it took years to find a therapist with the level of expertise that Nick offers. Due to the effects of previous injury I have had  weekly massage from Nick that has allowed me to continue pushing my body to the level I need as an Osteopath and dancer. 

Thanks Nick – as I am always telling you – you regularly save my life!”
