Qualifications
Steve is Qualified in Remedial Massage, Lymphatic Drainage Therapy, Myofascial Release, Zen Shiatsu and as a Reiki Master and Trainer.

Lymphatic Drainage Therapy
Lymphatic Drainage Therapy is a gentle form of massage which clears congestion of the lymph vessels and nodes, and helps to eliminate toxins and fluid retention from the body. The lymphatic system is the means of transport for the body's immune system, therefore without good lymphatic flow and clearance by the lymph nodes, our immune systems will be sluggish and an easy target for diseases.

Zen Shiatsu
A Japanese system of massage that works on the body's energy meridians that carry our 'Ki' or life force, by applying medium to firm pressure with fingers, palms, forearms and elbows.

Remedial Massage
A common form of massage using oil, and releasing muscle tension at a medium pressure.

Myofascial Release
Myofascial Release is a deep tissue form of massage which relaxes specific muscle groups by releasing the fascia, the sheath of connective tissue surrounding muscles, by holding pressure on the muscle group until the tension dissolves, thus relaxing the muscles more effectively than a regular massage. Works well with postural issues that remedial massage won't release.

Steve is a full member of the Austalian Traditional Medicine Society (ATMS) and registered with all major Health Funds for rebates for massage therapy work.
