When Matty was a primary age school kid in Bulli NSW he occupied himself with a variety of sports and active cultural past times. This insatiable appetite for activity put his young and developing frame through more workouts without a sound plan for recovery strategies. This kid was on a fast track to junior sports “burn-out”.
The first area of acute stress showed up in the knees. Matty’s father connected with a local Remedial Massage Therapist via the local football community. 15 years later Matty studied under John Delaney at the Karuna College of Massage Therapies

several visits to John Delaney’s Remedial Massage home clinic in Corrimal exposed this pre teen to what a journey into recovery and deep tissue work felt and looked like.

Matty eventually became unable to cross the road his achilles tendinitis would freeze him in his tracks and deliver many painful and embarrassing moments around the start of high school.
The next few years of high school proved to be a gradual decline in physicality as he would take his final shots, hurl his last passes and finally hang the boots up as the chronic tightness developed across multiple joints leaving the youth unable to jump, run or even throw a ball. His young athletic body was now a wreck.
Rebirth
the new identity as a musician led Matty to explore his spiritual side and he found yoga and meditation. These practices were nourishing for body mind and soul. A daily singing practice led Matty to discover more about his breathing and all of these monumental changes paved a path toward studying a course in Remedial Massage therapy.
