She regularly helps clients with:

Her goal is to identify and treat the underlying cause of pain and dysfunction while restoring strength, stability and range of motion. In many cases her treatment approach helps clients avoid the need for surgery or corticosteroid injections.

Treatment

Tanya provides remedial massage, deep tissue massage and sports massage, tailoring every treatment to the individual needs of each client.

She takes a whole body approach to treatment, combining hands on therapy with movement based rehabilitation and corrective exercise. This approach helps relieve pain while restoring healthy movement patterns so the body can function the way it was designed to.

Fresh from completing advanced massage training in Thailand, Tanya has added powerful and targeted techniques to her treatment approach. These techniques help release deep muscular tension, improve mobility and support faster recovery for clients managing injury, training load or work related strain.

Ongoing professional development is an important part of Tanya’s practice at Fitlife Sports Massage. She regularly undertakes further training to continue refining her skills and to ensure clients receive highly effective treatments for sports injuries, muscular pain, mobility limitations and performance improvement.
