Women's Evidence-Informed Sports Massage Clinic in Canberra

🌸 Professional Massage Therapy Exclusively for Women

Helping active women move better, recover from exercise, manage muscular tension, and support their long-term health and wellbeing through evidence-informed massage therapy.

🌸 Move Better, Recover Better & Feel Your Best

Choosing a massage therapist is a personal decision. My priority is to provide a professional, respectful, and comfortable environment where every client feels heard, valued, and treated with dignity.

Your comfort, privacy, and boundaries are respected throughout every session. You remain in control of your treatment at all times.

Welcome. I'm Ray Flaherty, and I am an experienced Sports Massage Therapist with more than 20 years of experience helping people manage muscular pain, recover from injury, improve movement, and support physical wellbeing.

Today, I specialise exclusively in working with active women, providing personalised, evidence-informed massage therapy designed around each client's goals. Whether you are managing muscular tension, recovering from exercise, improving mobility, or maintaining your body's performance, every treatment is tailored to support you.

To better understand the unique physical changes women experience throughout life, I have completed additional training in women's health, including Sacred Bodywork, menopause awareness, Endometriosis awareness, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) awareness.

This additional education has strengthened my understanding of the physical and emotional changes women may experience throughout different stages of life, from adolescence through to menopause, allowing me to provide care with greater knowledge, respect, and sensitivity.

🌸 My Current Massage Services

Please note that my clinic no longer offers private health fund rebates. My services are now focused on providing personalised, high-quality massage therapy through:

• Advanced Functional Sports Massage

• Functional Massage Therapy

• Sacred Bodywork

Each treatment is tailored to your individual needs, with a focus on movement, recovery, muscular comfort, and overall well-being.

Thank you for your understanding and continued support. My commitment is to provide professional, personalised care that helps you move and feel your best.

🌸 Supporting Your Body's Natural Healing

Your body has an incredible ability to recover and adapt. My role is not to "fix" your body, but to support the natural recovery process by helping identify areas of muscular tension, restriction, and reduced movement.

Through targeted massage techniques, I aim to improve mobility, reduce muscle tightness, and help create the conditions your body needs to perform and recover more effectively.

Every session is tailored to your needs, whether you are recovering from training, managing ongoing muscular tension, preparing for an event, or simply wanting to move more comfortably.

This clinic provides Professional Massage Therapy Designed Exclusively for Women.

I understand that choosing a male massage therapist for women's health and wellbeing is a personal decision. My focus is always on providing a professional, respectful, and safe environment where every woman feels comfortable and supported.

My wife has always supported my commitment to helping women improve their health and wellbeing. While I practise independently, I deeply appreciate her encouragement and support behind the scenes.

I am not accepting new male clients. This reflects the specialised focus of my clinic and allows me to dedicate my services to supporting women.

A small number of long-term male clients continue to attend for ongoing pain management.
