Some Testimonials Google Reviews
I always feel healed after a massage by Ray. His experience combined with a natural instinct at finding the right trigger points in the body never disappoints. His treatment room is a professional and comfortable space. I would recommend Ray to anyone looking for a remedial massage therapist who listens and works with you to provide the right treatment.

Athletic Sports Massage Canberra to inquire directly, feel free to text 0435-626-343!. My online bookings might not reflect the exact day and time you prefer, so it's better to text and check for appointment availability for the days you are off. I do not accept health funds due to the hassle involved, as it would require raising costs, which I want to avoid for my valued clients.
I maintain exceptionally high standards in stress relief, chronic pain management, and athletic muscle recovery, which is why I am trusted by a network of healthcare professionals—including registered medical doctors, physiotherapists, occupational therapists and chiropractors—who refer their patients to Ray for both pain management and optimal muscle performance.
