Origin Story of Remedial Massage Therapy
Inception
Deep impact
When Matty was a primary school kid in Bulli NSW, he kept himself busy with a variety of sports and active cultural pastimes. This insatiable appetite for activity put his young and developing frame through more workouts without a sound plan for recovery strategies, leading him down a fast track to junior sports 'burn-out.'

When Matty was a primary school kid in Bulli NSW, he kept himself busy with a variety of sports and active cultural pastimes. This insatiable appetite for activity put his young and developing frame through more workouts without a sound plan for recovery strategies, leading him down a fast track to junior sports 'burn-out.' The first signs of acute stress manifested in his knees. Matty’s father reached out to a local Remedial Massage Therapist through the football community for help. Fifteen years later, Matty studied under John Delaney at the Karuna College of Remedial Massage Therapies, where he also learned about the benefits of yoga and meditation at Dynamic Body Works.

Matty eventually became unable to cross the road as his achilles tendonitis would freeze him in his tracks, leading to many painful and embarrassing moments around the start of high school. The next few years proved to be a gradual decline in physicality, as he took his final shots and hurled his last passes before having to hang up his boots. The chronic tightness that developed across multiple joints left his young athletic body unable to jump, run, or even throw a ball. Thankfully, he turned to approaches like Dynamic Body Works, remedial massage, and even yoga and meditation, seeking a path to recovery, but sadly, his youthful vigor was now a wreck.
