John has been with us for a while now, and right from the start he has gone above and beyond for our team and his clients. John is a dedicated therapist and has been a fantastic addition to the team!
What is a funny or interesting story about you?
Before becoming a remedial massage therapist, I worked across a range of hands-on trades — from plumbing to tree surgery, and even warehouse operations. My clients often laugh when I tell them I’ve gone from fixing pipes and climbing trees to helping people fix their bodies! Those early trade years taught me a lot about physical resilience, body mechanics, and hard work — all of which I now apply in understanding how people move, load, and recover.
Where was your last holiday
My last holiday was up along the Queensland coast — I’m happiest near the ocean. There’s something about early morning walks, sunrises, and the sound of waves that helps me reset and come back to work recharged and focused.
What sets you apart as a therapist?
I bring a unique combination of clinical knowledge, trade experience, and sports performance expertise. Alongside my Diploma of Remedial Massage, I’m currently in the final few months of completing an Advanced Diploma of Myotherapy. I also hold a Diploma of Sport Coaching and several strength and conditioning qualifications — including ASCA Level 1 and NRL Level 2 Sports Trainer.
Having a trade background gives me a real-world understanding of the physical demands many clients face, while my experience as a Strength and Conditioning Coach helps me look beyond short-term relief. My focus is always on understanding the why behind an issue, restoring proper movement, and helping people stay strong, pain-free, and performing at their best — whether that’s at work, in sport, or day-to-day life
