Kim Stark- Remedial Massage Therapist
Bookings taken 9-5pm Monday to Friday
Kim Stark is a qualified Remedial Massage Therapist and a member of the Australian Association of Massage Therapy (AAMT) .
Several years ago Kim decided she needed to improve her quality of life and get out of her high stress job. She chose massage therapy as her new career because of her healing nature, love of people and desire to teach others how to de-stress their lives. Not to mention her keen interest in the mysterious workings of the body.
Fast forward to now and Kim hasn’t looked back and loves helping her clients to look at their health in a holistic way.
Kim’s style of massage combines remedial and relaxation techniques together. The relaxation techniques help her to build a trusting relationship with your body that results in you being relaxed and more open to receive healing. Not to mention all that stress relief! The remedial techniques form the core of the treatment and are what cause all the great benefits you expect from a massage like pain relief, reduced muscle tension and healing for injuries.
Kim will also work with you to help change daily habits that may be causing your problem in the first place, for example poor posture. This is done using myofascial release (which is highly effective for improving your posture) stretching and re-education.

Kim uses one or a combination of the following modalities in her treatment:
Remedial
These techniques are focused on resolving particular issues in the body like chronic and acute pain, injuries and soft tissue dysfunctions such as tendonitis. The techniques include trigger point therapy and muscle energy technique.
Deep tissue
For when you feel like nothing but a sledgehammer could release your tense muscles. Deep tissue is a firm massage that helps to break up muscle tension and gets blood flowing back into your muscles.
Myofascial Release
A great technique based on the principles of Rolfing (www.rolfing.org) that works to release the connective tissue that surrounds each and every muscle in the body. You’ll feel taller and lighter than you have in years.
Sports and Injury Management
For those professional or weekend athletes that need to keep their muscles injury free and performing at their optimum level. Great to have in the lead up to a sporting event and as a recovery treatment afterwards.
Pregnancy Massage
A nurturing side lying treatment for women in their second or third trimesters which can help alleviate shoulder and lower back aches as well as address swollen ankles.
Cupping
An eastern modality that uses vacuum cupping to treat trigger points and muscular pain.
Oriental
Based on shiatsu this treatment is about moving and clearing energy through the body using acupressure points.
