I have known/seen Chris for over 4-5 years now - and I was lucky I had accidentally stumbled across him at the time because wow! Not only did I see an improvement in my overal/general wellbeing and reduced overall pain, I've also seen him grow and develop new/different techniques so that he can be better and treat us as clients/patients more effectively! The one session that particularly stood out to me was when I had fallen down the stairs and I sprained my ankle (which was a regular occurrence due to an ATFL tear) - I could barely walk due to the pain. I went in to see him 2 days later so I could at least tolerate the walking by limping. Not only did I walk out of there without an ankle brace, I walked out of there without pain and no limping! And the cause of the ankle pain / instability / weakness was due to dysfunction at my knees. This review isn't enough to compliment/describe the incredible work he does. He listens to you, and tries to solve it (along side other issues) by finding the "root" cause of your pain vs just treating the symptoms at the specific problem area only (which ends up fixing a whole bunch of other issues that I never thought I had). He's the one that taught me to always listen to your body, to listen to the pain you feel and how it holds and stores in your body, and that you're not crazy! After my poor experience/lack of trust with previous practitioners, this was incredibly refreshing and validating to hear; and to add the fact that he gets the results, makes it even better. I will never stop recommending him! - You will not regret it!

I have had knee pain for three years now. I had been to physios, specialists, clinical pilates, hydrotherapy, Shockwave therapy and more. Been seeing Chris for three months now and it's been the only thing that has made any change with my knee in the last three years. I am now able to walk down stairs which I couldn't beforehand I am now able to do a medium squat and build my muscles where I was not able to before. I am in a lot less pain and it just keeps getting better and better and the fact that he works with fascia is something that I've never done before. it's amazing what he does and it's amazing how he knows the body and what it needs. Thankyou very much.

I’ve been coming to this massage center for over 3 years, and Julius has consistently delivered outstanding care. He’s incredibly skilled, attentive, and always tailors each session to exactly what I need. Whether it’s deep tension or just stress relief, he knows how to find and fix the problem areas. I always leave feeling refreshed and realigned. Julius is truly exceptional — highly recommended!

I am from Singapore and was on vacation in Melbourne. Chris was highly recommended by my 2 friends who in Melbourne and are treated by him. I must say...thank you. He is a miracle worker. I could only go for 2 sessions during my trip and all is much better. You must consult with Chris... you will not regret it. Affordable, professional and very effective. I wish I live in Melbourne. Go see him and thank me later.

Chris is incredible at what he does. I would've never thought to go to a myotherapist for pain relief, but Chris is methodical in getting to the source to fix the symptoms. Highly recommend.

What Is Massage Therapy?

Massage therapy is the hands-on treatment of muscles, tendons and the connective tissue around them. In a clinical setting it covers several distinct approaches rather than one technique: remedial massage for a specific assessed problem, deep tissue for sustained pressure through chronic tightness, sports massage for training load and recovery, and pregnancy massage adapted for each stage.

The difference between a clinic and a spa is where the session starts. Here it begins with an assessment — how you move, where the restriction actually sits, and what has been loading that area — and the technique is chosen from what the assessment shows. That is why two people booking the same appointment can receive quite different treatments.

Most forms of massage therapy delivered by an accredited therapist are claimable through private health funds with extras cover, and no GP referral is required to book.

Massage Melbourne: Frequently Asked Questions

What types of massage do you offer in Melbourne?

Our South Melbourne clinic offers remedial massage, sports massage, deep tissue massage, pregnancy massage and relaxation massage, alongside myotherapy, dry needling, myofascial release, trigger point therapy and joint mobilisation. Every session starts with an assessment so the technique is matched to what your body actually needs.

Which type of massage is right for me?

If you have a specific problem such as recurring back pain, neck tension or a sports injury, remedial massage or myotherapy is usually the better fit because both begin with an assessment. If you mainly want to unwind and reduce general tension, a relaxation massage suits better. If you are unsure, tell us what is bothering you when you book and we will match you to the right therapist.

What is the difference between massage and myotherapy?

Massage therapy works directly on muscles and soft tissue. Myotherapy is broader: it assesses how you move, treats the muscles and joints involved, and adds dry needling, joint mobilisation and exercise advice where appropriate. Myotherapy is generally the better choice for complex or long-standing problems.

Do I need a referral to book a massage?

No referral is needed. You can book online at any time or call the clinic on (03) 9877 6167 and reception will help you choose a suitable appointment.

Can I claim massage on private health insurance?

Remedial massage is commonly covered by private health funds with extras cover, and our therapists are registered with Massage & Myotherapy Australia, the Myotherapy Association Australia and ANTA. Relaxation massage is generally not claimable. Rebate amounts depend on your fund and level of cover.

What should I wear to a massage appointment?

Wear comfortable clothing. You will be appropriately draped throughout the treatment and only the area being worked on is uncovered. Arriving a few minutes early gives you time to complete the consultation form.
