Remedial Massage can be very useful as a complementary treatment to these conditions as it can rapidly activate the parasympathetic nervous system. This is what balances out the sympathetic nervous system which is highly activated by the 'fight, flight or freeze' responses that are a common reaction to the stress in our busy modern lives.
Massage Therapy is a natural, holistic treatment for many common ailments and has been used by people for thousands of years. When combined with a good diet, regular exercise, restful sleep, good relationships and a positive outlook, remedial massage can help you to achieve your peak - be that a professional goal, a balanced home-life or just to look and feel great.

My massage journey began when I started experiencing sciatic issues from sitting too long in an office as a software developer. I used Chinese massage along with yoga and nutrition to totally heal my sciatic issues. After my recovery I was keen to be able to help other people with their body issues and I started searching for a course that would allow me to deliver a transformative experience to my clients.
A relaxation massage is a powerful investment in your well-being and health. If there is one thing most of us could do with a bit more of in our lives, it's relaxation. Stress is a modern epidemic and over time it does lead to chronic disease in the body and mind. A regular massage is a great way to activate your relaxation response (para-sympathetic nervous system) and will leave you feeling good and looking great!
It is always a joy and something of a relief to find a good massage therapist. I often find myself initially tensing when I first feel their hands - an inattentive or too rough or too gentle massage for me is a traumatic experience. Finding Oak was a gift. Oak has a soft and gentle demeanour to put you at ease and obviously knows his stuff.

I went to see Nicole for the first time today for muscle release and she was absolutely brilliant! She creates a calm, welcoming atmosphere and clearly has a deep understanding of the body, working holistically and intuitively. Her massage pressure was perfect for me but she is willing to adjust to meet your needs. I highly recommend Nicole :)

Had a 1 hour remedial massage from Narelle a few weeks ago and it was amazing, I will definitely be going back again.
Very professional and relaxing atmosphere. They did an in depth medical questionnaire and physical assessment which was great to see and displays the high level of quality and experience. Narelle was very friendly and applied perfect pressure during the massage. The essential oils used smelt amazing.
only criticism is that the music was playing out of a phone. Not really an issue but maybe the practice could invest in some speakers?

I had been contemplating about having a massage for sometime but never knowing who to go to. My wonderful niece bought me a gift voucher after her thorough research.
I have been having back & leg pain for quite awhile going to the physiotherapist.
I had my massage with Oak yesterday and it was fantastic. He worked on all areas of my body that was giving me pain. At the end of the massage I was totally relaxed and pain free. I had a good night sleep which I haven't had in some time due to the aches in my body.
I recommend you go to see Oak as I will definitely be a returning client.

Since a bicycling accident over a decade ago I suffer from chronic back pain, which massages can alleviate. Thus, with this considerable experience I can say that Oak is doing a great job! At the first session he assessed my individual patient history and at each further session my symptoms on the day. He applies different massage techniques as suitable for the situation. He is professional and works from a friendly practice centrally in Fremantle. I’m happy to recommend Oak!

I recently returned to Australia and was delighted to recommence regular massage treatments with Oak, my preferred massage practitioner for over ten years. This time around we are focussing on hip and gluteal tension, for which regular massages with Oak have made a huge difference in my range of movement and comfort in yoga postures that were otherwise too intense for me. Oak's massage style is for me the perfect blend of deep tissue remedial, intuitive work and professionalism that makes the experience on the table seamless and totally worth the dollars. I highly recommend Oak for anyone looking

Finding Oak at Fremantle Massage Therapy was a gift. Oak has a soft and gentle demeanour to put you at ease and obviously knows his stuff. He is willing to work with you in a way that suits you and get to those tough areas with gentle firmness. My neck & shoulders (my tense area) felt so free as I walked out of the massage room. Highly recommend it.

I have found Oak's treatment as very helpful in obtaining relief from a calf issue I had for some time. He has great techniques which are pleasant and not so painful as with other therapists. His approach to treatment is gentle but skilful in his methods. I enjoyed the experience and highly recommend him to anyone.

I've been getting treatment from Oak for the last month. I've been getting a sports massage to correct issues I have when I run.
Oak worked on my flexibility, and corrected strained leg muscles, tight lower back and neck/shoulders. The massage was initially quite tough going (as true sports massages are!), but over the last few weeks my muscles have been relaxing. I now I have greater flexibility than I've had in the last decade. As the massages progressed I began to enjoy the process. Oak was focused, thorough and gave me a lot of advice.
Oak's approach is a combination of traditional medical
