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 on Google review. 24/07/2024

I feel amazing after visiting Ray! I am on the soccer field each weekend and train three nights a week and that would not be possible if not for Ray! Knows what he is doing and a lovely human being!
Fantastic and comfortable setting, you are in safe hands! Lauren 18/07/24

 I highly recommend Ray for massage. He customises massage to what you want and where you need it and does a professional and thorough job. It's hard to find a therapist who will do genuine deep tissue, but Ray gets stuck in and also uses trigger points and myofascial release. If you want a good strong massage go to Ray! If you prefer a softer approach I'm sure he can do that too, as Ray is very customer focused and genuinely wants to provide you with the massage you want. Rhiana

Powerlifter

 My wife and I have been in Ray's care for quite a few years now and would not go anywhere else. Hands down, the best massage therapist we have been to. From the very first session where I was able to walk again without pain in my lower back and hips, right up to the latest session to address 5 days' worth of headache, Ray has an ability to quickly locate the source of my troubles. This is mostly pressure-point therapy, so bear in mind that there is no gain without pain, but it works! Peter May 2024

 I have had the most positive experiences seeing Ray for remedial massage. He is lovely, super skilled, works around any injuries and his knowledge on muscles and the body is really great. The studio is lovely and you feel immediately comfortable. I am a powerlifter and seeing Ray has dramatically improved by mobility, allowing me to get the range of motion I need for my sport. Thanks again, I’ll be back soon Rebecca

 Brilliant massage by Ray. Had a terrible tension headache and he was a great help! Julia 03/11/23 (On Google review)

 The space is beautiful, tranquil and the ambient is just wonderful. I’ve gone to many massage places and with 30 years of experience, I can say when someone is good. I must say Ray is the top two I’ve experienced. He is knowledgeable, he knows the right spot, and kind. I would totally recommend Ray to anyone who is looking for a good masseus who can get to the bottom of their pain/issue.

One of the best remedial/trigger point massages I've had. I've been seeing Ray for help with neck pain/headaches after having had a baby recently, and he's helped me a lot. He definitely knows what he's doing, and I've seen immediate improvements in pain/mobility (unlike other remedial massages I've had which didn't seem to do much). He also has a lovely studio which creates a very soothing environment. Victora 29/08/2023 on Goggle review

Ray is an amazing massage therapist who I highly recommend. Ive also taken my athletic teenagers with sore muscles to see him and they felt so much better afterwards. Ray is very responsive and always try’s to work around what time suits us. Very glad I found his services.

How I deal with my stress!!! Every 2 weeks I go to this lovely sanctuary and relax my body and my mind through trigger point therapy. With Ray Flaherty and his professional knowledge and treatment I would indeed be a nervous wreck! It always gives me something to look forward to and resets my mind. Ray also sends me reminders because between recovery of mental health issues and addiction, my mind is all over the place. It’s nice to have someone really care about your well-being and recovery.

 Raymond has a comprehensive understanding of Myofascial Release Therapy and is a most effective practitioner.  He uses his hands skilfully to massage and stretch the myofacial tissue and to eliminate knots thus enabling greater movement of muscles and joints.  Restriction of the myofacial tissue covering the human skeleton can lead to widespread pain and discomfort if not released regularly.  Raymond possesses exceptional skill and his patients enjoy greater agility and movement.  I recommend Raymond to anyone wishing to improve their mobility and agility.

Ray is an amazing massage therapist who really knows how muscles work and are interconnected. He is the only therapist over many years who has helped relieve tension from a long lasting injury.
On top of this, Ray’s customer service is excellent, friendly and I would highly recommend him as the best massage therapist in Canberra.

 Today I had my second treatment with Ray and oh my goodness he is incredible! I have Lupus and Fibromyalgia so always sore and tight! After my first treatment (two weeks ago) my headaches stopped! I've had back pain for a solid year now and my back feels amazing right now!!
He actually listened to me.
He is extremely knowledgeable, personable and very accommodating.

Finally a Masseur that listens! I had major spinal surgery in 2020 and it has been very hard to find anybody that can help with my muscle pain. After explaining my situation to Ray, he took me on without hesitation and he has been outstanding in his efforts to alleviate and manage my pain. Ray’s remedial massage and pain management skills are second to none and he personally tailors treatment to each individual. Ray‘s excellent personality and bedside manner is an added bonus, as he’ll always keep you entertained with great conversation while you are receiving your treatment. I highly recommend Ray to anyone with back or muscle issues. S&M M 06/2022 (On Google review)

I have been seeing Ray for many years. He listens to your concerns, treats the area and explains why you are in pain. He always contacts you after a massage to see how you are feeling. I highly recommend Ray, you will not be disappointed with his massage. Though the trigger pointing is not fun, the results from it are amazing.

Ray is a highly qualified and adept remedial massage therapist. I am so glad I found him as it has been difficult for me to find anyone in Canberra that has this level of skill. As a bonus his practice is close to home in North Belconnen. I see him for remedial massage only, due to long term back, shoulder and neck pain. He definitely makes a difference to my pain levels and afterwards I always have a much improved range of motion. Ray's practice is clean and professional. He also offers relaxation massages which I would recommend too. The treatment room has many touches like calm music, plush towels, and no bright lights that certainly help make the environment relaxing.

 Ray goes above and beyond the traditional massage experience. He is very skillful and knowledgeable in his practice and truly cares about his clients. Ray's use of pressure points is the most productive massage technique i have come across: Ray additionally reaches out two days after the session to check in and see how you are feeling. Overall, I would recommend Rau to anyone needing some serious relief. hawksoccer33 26/09/21

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 in recommending. Thanks Ray!

You are the best in town hands down! For everyone experiencing any pain or discomfort you are definitely the person to see. You have magic hands and I and so grateful for all the times you have fixed my back and neck. Rozi 17/05/21. It was put on Facebook page only.

  I was looking for a massage therapist who actually knew how to deal with long-term, tight muscles especially in the shoulders and neck. As massage is ideally done on an ongoing basis to maintain the body, I also wanted someone that I'd be happy to visit again. Ray was professional, and has an excellent, well set up work area. He listened to my requirements, and provided a strong massage, as requested. Trigger point therapy left me feeling like something had actually been done to fix my tight muscles, and I left with noticeable results e.g. could turn my neck further than before. It did hurt when the right spots were touched but that was what I was looking for, and any pain eased up quickly. Would highly recommend Ray as it's not easy to find a knowledgeable therapist who is personable and charges reasonably. CK 03/05/21 (On Google review)

This just came through from another face-book group I am in. 🙏🙏

This guy really knows his stuff so I would highly recommend him for any pain management treatment you need. He has many, many years of experience. Don't waste your time at other massage therapist as they only care about your money and not your well being. Trust me, Ray Flaherty is the therapist you need to see for massage/pain management needs. Do yourself a favour and checkout his website, you'll find a tone of information.

Had the best trigger point massage in Canberra with Ray! This was my 2nd time going and I’m so glad I found him. I’m booking in monthly from now. His knowledge of the points that will be sore is amazing. I have really tight back, shoulders and legs and he manages to find them and get rid of them. I have never had someone push some of the triggers that he did and omg is was so sore but afterwards I feel so free. I have tried so many massage therapists in Canberra that day they are trigger point but are no way near up to the standard of what I have experienced with Ray. Jakie 02.02.20

 Testimonial 2019

Ray here's my shout out for your awesome skills! I had spent so much time and money trying different remedies for my chronic injury and pain, such as acupuncture and different medications and had no relief for either the injury or the pain. After complaining to a friend about my troubles I was referred to Ray for a deep tissue massage and after only the first session I already felt a difference and the treatment has been the only thing that has finally helped with my chronic injury as the muscles are finally loosening up again and so the pain and spasming has decreased greatly for me for the first time in over a year! Ray is very highly skilled and knowledgeable of the human body. Very glad to have found him and definitely recommend him to anyone suffering any injury! Indianna 12.06.19 (ACT)

Testimonial  2017

I have been coming to see Ray for over a year, after my PT recommended him. I have had a range of issues from back and shoulder injuries to rheumatoid arthritis, and without fail a visit to Ray always brings me some relief. In the past I have really disliked massages and always felt awkward.  These days I look forward to my fortnightly remedial massage because I know the relief it will bring me afterwards! Ray makes the sessions very comfortable and professional, and always checks in to see that I am going okay. He knows his stuff, and is kind and funny! Ray has helped provide immediate relief for me when some physiotherapists have not been able to. I can move more freely after each session. When I don’t see Ray for a few weeks I can certainly notice the difference. Highly recommended!  Emily (ACT) 16.11.17​

Sports Athletic 

  My name is Alana. I am 19 years old and currently a university student as well as an elite hockey player. I have represented the ACT since I was 10 years old and have represented Australia twice, once in 2009 and once in 2011. For the past 2 years I have also held an ACTAS scholarship which requires a large amount of training on a weekly basis. I have been seeing Raymond Flaherty ever since he joined Hawker Chiropractic in 2011. 

I had been seeing another masseuse prior to this. 

My main reason for seeing Ray was initially to get my legs massaged. Doing a lot of training takes its toll on my body and I enjoyed a massage to in a way to revitalise my legs. Ray really helped to rid my legs of knots and tightness in my quads, hamstrings and calves. I found that for a couple of days to even a week after a massage my legs didn't get as sore or tired after training. This enabled me to complete trainings at a higher level as my legs weren't as fatigued.  

Recently I have been seeing Ray for a completely different reason. At the start of 2012 I started getting frequent blocked ears and a very stiff neck. I saw Ray once a week for a month and by the end of the 4 weeks I was rid of blocked ears and a stiff neck, however I had immediate relief after every massage. 

Ray worked vigorously on my neck muscles using remedial and deep tissue massage and I noticed a difference as soon as I got off the table. I currently live outside of Canberra but I book in with Ray whenever I go back. Ray is a fantastic and enthusiastic masseuse who puts the patient first and does all he can to help his patients. He also is fantastic in the sense that he explains the problems to the patient and gives advice such as stretches and creams. Alana ACT 2011 to 2012

Hi Ray, I felt a million dollars last week thanks to you! I really noticed a massive difference the following day. I have been sleeping much better & the pain in my lower back while seated has eased incredibly.  Also all the tension in my neck has gone so I guess I could call you a miracle man!! I am already looking forward to booking my next appointment.  Cheers & have a nice day. Suzi: ACT

I have been having remedial massage sessions with Ray Flaherty for the last two years and would highly recommend him to anyone seeking effective and personally tailored remedial massage therapy. I first saw Ray for a full body massage and to specifically focus on recurring pain I had in my left forearm from playing the cello. In our first meeting Ray was very attentive and thorough. He checked exactly what sort of pain I had experienced and discussed with me what I wanted to achieve by having remedial massage. Although Ray's massages can be quite a 'work out', they always result in long-term relief rather than just short-term, superficial 'feel good' vibes. Bonnie ACT

Hi Ray, Your massage on my sore back, gave me great relief. The sensation of your massage sent a tingling through my whole back. Which loosen the muscles and helped the blood flow around my burn scars. Thank you." Cheryl (ACT)

Dear Ray, Thank you for your excellent massage which you gave me on my recent visit to Canberra. The benefits to my well being have been very noticeable and with the beautiful oils you used, my skin was so smooth for days afterward. The hand, foot and face massage was a lovely finish. You certainly know your anatomy and cared for my body's needs very effectively. Thank you IB: Sydney.

Being in an industry that is very harsh on your body it has been a pleasure to find Ray, who after a few massage sessions has done what years of chiropractors haven't been able to do. I can come back from a full day at sea with no sore bones, joints or muscles thanks to his skills, also my wife has enjoyed the full body massage with great re-suits, only to wanting to come back for more. Ray who is polite and professional comes with our highest recommendation. Adrian and Sandra (NSW) 2010

Men's Testimonial

"Since I wrote my last testimonial on 15 February 2008 I continue to receive a weekly massage from Ray. I have found over time that Ray's massages are benefitting me greatly and I believe that regular treatments are the best for me. I still find Ray to be very professional in his approach and enjoy receiving a massage from him in a very pleasant environment with the technique that he applies; an approach that, for me, has only gone from strength to strength. For anyone who suffers muscle tension as I do I can thoroughly recommend regular treatment of the type that Ray provides." RJ: ACT.

 "Hello Ray, I wish to let you know that your superb massage technique, your professionalism and your friendly personality puts you at the top of the masseurs I have ever used over the years. Every time I come to see you I leave feeling relaxed, re-invigorated, and any aches and pains much relieved. You have what I would call "healing hands". Thank you for all you done for me." Neil: (Melbourne)

      "I suffer a lot of muscle tension, including headaches, and find that the therapeutic and relaxing massages given by Ray to be of great benefit to me. Ray says in his website that he believes very much in massage therapy; I do as well. He provides a good firm massage that I find not only tones my muscles but makes me feel very relaxed and has made it his business to study this therapy in great detail. I can highly recommend his kindness, professional approach and the benefit that I receive from one of his massages." RJ: (ACT)
