Sam Neil - Owner and Remedial Massage Therapist

Massage therapy is not only an effective way to rectify musculoskeletal dysfunction, it's also a vehicle to embodiment. I take pride in delivering strong yet nurturing treatments, layered with somatic pampering to bring you back into deep relaxation.

From a young age I've been fascinated by anatomy, science and bodywork. I hold a diploma of remedial massage, educated by the reputable Melbourne Institute of Massage & Myotherapy. I have a versatile background in yoga teaching (YTT200), sports science, youth work and disability (Cert 4). I've worked from multiple allied health clinics across Melbourne and I continue to receive mentorship from senior osteopaths, myotherapists and physiotherapists. I'm registered with the Massage & Myotherapy Association Australia, bound by our code of practice/ethics and continuing professional development.

I've developed a keen interest in the way the body is interconnected. I'm deeply passionate about alleviating musculoskeletal pain, alignment and down-regulating nervous systems (stress).

In my dynamic sessions you’ll discover my caring attentive nature and an array of techniques to help address acute and chronic pain. You'll leave soothed, embodied and recharged. SW, LGBTQIA+ and NDIS friendly. 

A treatment may include the following techniques:

• Musculoskeletal Assessment
• Myoskeletal Alignment 
• Joint Mobilistation
• Deep Tissue
• Active Release
• PNF Stretching

• Sports Massage
• Prenatal Massage
• Breathwork
• Cupping
• Manual Lymphatic Drainage
• Somatic Techniques (to address heightened nervous systems)
• Exercise Prescription and Postural Advice

It’s important a treatment session is tailored to the individual for the most effective and holistic outcome. I offer referrals, education about any pathologies you’re experiencing, a dive into root causes and a nourishing treatment with lasting results.
