Services
Established by Sydney Massage Therapist Alan Patriarca in 2002, InTouch has helped thousands of people feel and move better. With over sixteen years and 20,000 hours of clinical practice, Alan is one of Australia's most respected practitioners of Remedial Massage, Custom Orthotics, Craniosacral, Dry Needling, Reiki and Natural Therapy.
The following practice policies are important. Colds, Flu & Infections : if you have an upper respiratory tract infection such as a cold, flu, bronchitis or pneumonia you CANNOT be treated until 5 days from first symptom otherwise the infection can spread. Cancellations with less than 24 hours notice will incur the full consultation fee.
When muscles and tendons become damaged or impaired, knotted, tense or immobile, Corrective Remedial Massage provides a healing treatment that treats the whole body and traces the discomfort as far back as possible to the original cause, healing both the cause of the disorder as well as the symptoms.
When elements of trauma overwhelm our bodies, the tissues often "freeze" to contain and encapsulate the damage. This encapsulated energy can be effectively released through Craniosacral therapy. The connective tissue and fascia form a mechanical continuum, extending throughout the human body - even into the innermost parts of each cell.
COMBINING Custom Orthotic Inserts with supporting treatments make them more effective & affordable. The weight of the world, at times, is not supported by your shoulders but by your feet.
Little or no arch support (commonly known as flat feet), high arches, standing for extended periods of time, hard surfaces, improper footwear, age and gravity are all contributing factors that can lead to problems with the proper bio-mechanical function of your feet.

Alan is a gifted therapist with specialities in craniosacral, myofascial, reiki and other therapies. The first time I walked in to his studio he knew straight away I was out of alignment and put me back in to alignment in that first session. Alan takes a holistic approach to his treatment, it’s not just about the massage. He’s helped me with breathing, relaxation and mindfulness techniques. I’m impressed with his attention to COVID-19 safety protocols at his practice too. Alan was recently admitted as a Fellow of the Australian Traditional Medicine Society as a reflection of his skill level

I have experienced pain in my hip on and off for the last 5 years, and randomly just at night when I'm trying to fall asleep. In the last year, it's been so bad I have not been able to achieve a good night's sleep, even if I found a position that's been comfortable to nod off in, I am often woken at 2-3am with a deep ache in the hip.
I have visited many practitioners over the years, and put it down to weak hips or stress. I walked in to Alan's clinic for just a nice massage to help relieve some of the pain and stress it's been causing me over the years.
Immediately he spotted the problem, before

Alan is one of the most knowledgeable health care professionals I have encountered, truly gifted.
I booked a 90-minute remedial massage to sort out a neck issue I had for years. The issue was previously aggravated through chiropractic work.
Alan approached the problem with an empathetic point of view, no judgement, or any biases.
Alan was very insightful, and talked me through the problem whilst examining my posture, and he observed the way I carried myself, he was very thorough.
After the session, the effects were immediate, there was less tension, and a significant reduction in pain.

I've been experiencing a lot of tension headaches for over a year now and it's always at least a dull headache and affected my performance in the gym and basketball as well as day to day life. I had seen so many physios and chiros over the years to try and figure out the problem but nothing really worked.
Alan was able to spot areas of my body that wasn't in correct alignment and was able to start the process of fixing my body. Noticed changes in my body already, and will be going back to him to get the rest of it sorted out haha. I would highly recommend him.

Alan is a true master of his craft.
I had the luck of getting an appointment with this knowledgeable and affable guy whilst visiting Sydney.
I simply could not put off the pain I was experiencing in my right leg which has been an ongoing issue for the last year or so.
Within 10-15 minutes of asking questions, he identified my issues with maps of the human body's nervous and muscle system.
He was able to point out the pain I was describing. Not only was he accurate, but he picked up several other posture and muscle related issues and was able to treat me. I have never done dry needling before

Alan is very expert in his area and knew how to help me with my sciatic pain. Although his intentions are the best, his people approach is poor. He interrupted my speech, gave me orders in an authoritarian way and started some sort of friendly-challenging conversations throughout the session which made me uncomfortable.

I have been going to In Touch Massage Camperdown for many years after being referred by my wife. I was very skeptical since I’m not a big fan of massages. However, I was quite surprised at what an immediate effect remedial massage and dry needling did for my knees and ITB’s. Not only that, I now have correctly fitted, made-to-measure orthotics helping me to walk correctly. Alan takes the time to ensure that all your needs are met so that you walk out feeling so much better than how you came in.
