Tatham Johnson RMT BCSc

Manual- and Movement-based Massage Therapist

Sick of dealing with chronic nagging issues that just aren't responding to the usual fixes?
Ready for a new perspective and a different approach to treatment?
Looking for a way to balance active hobbies with inactive worklife?

 

Let's get started!

I help deskbound professionals to recover from injuries, understand and undo pain and tension, change their posture and optimise their training so they can stay active.

Your body is not symmetrical...

…and the asymmetry of your inner organs can be a blessing if harnessed properly. But if the balance between the Right and Left sides becomes mismanaged by our muscular and sensory systems it can be the root cause of many common and repeated aches, pains and injuries such as:

  • Shoulder pain and upper trap tension
  • Neck tension, neck pain and reduced neck range of motion
  • TMJ pain, teeth grinding and jaw issues
  • Unexplained knee pain
  • 'Uneven' or 'popped' ribs (e.g. prominent ribs on the lower left side)
  • 'Uneven' shoulders or 'winging' shoulder blades (e.g. right shoulder lower)
  • Limitations with shoulder mobility (especially on the right)
  • Pinching hips
  • Ankle pain
  • Issues with breathlessness
  • Lower back pain
  • 'Tight' hamstrings and calves
  • Piriformis syndrome and SI joint pain
  • Chronic pelvis pain
  • Shin splints
  • 'Flat' feet
  • Plantar Fasciitis

I'm here to help you understand and change these patterns

I use Postural Restoration Institute® (PRI) assessments and techniques to get a complete picture of the patterns of tension you're holding yourself in, and to help you understand the corners of your own body that have been sitting unused and fully access them again. Through a combination of specific targeted movement, breathwork and hands-on manual therapy we'll work to change the relationship your body has with the ground, the chair and the desk and give you the tools to live in both sides of your body; whether you're sitting, standing, running or climbing. I'm here to help you find balance in your body and move towards becoming a stronger, mobile and pain-free version of yourself.
