The services Ray specialises in for women are sports muscle performance, complex needs like chronic muscle pain, people who have had a spinal, hip, knee, leg and ankle operation, or missing limbs, women who have had breast cancer or have had a breast removed, or breast implants to painful breasts into the pecs, sports injuries and other conditions within the body that cause chronic pain and lymphedema which normally it is with women after they have had a breast removed but not just limited the his area but also it helps swelling within other limbs.

(Some of Ray's specialised sessions need a code to get into the subject area; this can only be given once you have made an account and then sent a text with your full name saying why you want to access these areas)

A lot of my female clients have either had cancer, operations on many different parts of the body or have chronic pain due to sports injuries and also to have better muscle performance.

Testimonial on pain mangerment 8/12/24
I had the most positive experience visiting Ray. I had been seeing a physio over several months for on going hip/leg pain with absolutely zero improvement. One session with Ray, and he managed to get into those really difficult trigger points to finally have pain free sleep. Could not recommend Ray enough! On Goggle

Physiotherapist.

Ray is a highly experienced therapist. After just one session, I already felt significant relief in my stiff neck and shoulders, as well as my forearm muscles. As a therapist myself, I highly recommend Ray. I am looking forward to my next treatment. Thanks！Justine 24/07/24 on Google Review.

💪 What Sets Athletic Sports Massage Canberra Apart From Others?

When you come to Athletic Sports Massage Canberra, you don't have to wait for Ray to finish if you are running late as he books clients in so no client sees another client. No other clients will be coming or going, no one is waiting for their massage, and there is no rushing out so the next clients can come.
Active Release Therapy (ART): ART breaks down scar tissue and adhesions to restore natural movement and speed up recovery.
Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF) is a more advanced form of flexibility training, which involves both the stretching and contracting of the muscle group being targeted.
Trigger Point Therapy: Targets deep tissue spots in the muscles that cause tension and alleviate chronic injuries. Pain helps to improve function.
Myofascial Release Therapy: Eases tension in connective tissue that is over the whole body, increasing flexibility and range of motion.
Myofascial Cupping Release: Cupping is much like a reverse massage where, instead of compression into the soft tissue, suction is applied as the tissue is pulled into the cups. This has been shown to create movement and gliding of the tissues beneath the surface, decrease muscle tension, and increase blood flow, which in turn helps nourish the area with oxygen and aid in healing.

2024 Ray is a very experienced Massage Therapist. He utilises Trigger Point Therapy and Deep Tissue Massage, which has been phenomenal for releasing joint and muscle pain caused by my disability, Cerebral Palsy. I often leave our sessions with relief in my back, neck and improved mobility when I walk as he is able to release joint pain in my hips and spasticity in my left foot and leg caused from Cerebral Palsy. He is passionate about health, wellbeing and massage. He is thorough and treats the whole body as well as troubled areas.

The testimonial is from one of my elite athletic clients who went to the Tokyo Olympic Games in 2020!

I've been seeing Ray regularly in the lead up to competing in the Tokyo Olympic Games, and his care and communication as a massage therapist is outstanding. Ray is exceptionally friendly, professional, knowledgeable and has tailored to my changing needs week to week with patience and consideration. He's particularly helped with both upper and lower back pain, as well as general aches and pains due to the training load of elite level sport. Would not hesitate to recommend. Thanks Ray!
