After putting my back out, helping my friend move house, I came across Marlon on Google whilst in search for a massage therapist. After telling Marlon what my issue was... read more over the phone, despite him being unavailable to assist in person as he was in travelling interstate, he spent over 20 mins on the phone talking me through my pain and helping me to feel better. I could hardly walk before and by the end of the 20 mins, I was in a much better place, walking around my bedroom. Thank you, Marlon for your kindness and invaluable assistance. Looking forward to my first session with you on Monday.

Marlon has been able to provide both immediate and long lasting relief for my chronic back pain that has plagued me for years. I have spent so much time and... read more money seeing a multitude of practitioners over the years with very limited results. Marlon really knows his stuff and gets results. Each session he works out what needs to be worked on by testing and asking questions. He then does post testing to check results, which are always good.
Marlon is also incredibly knowledgeable on providing very helpful exercises and treatment plans to address the core issues causing the pain. His exercises have been so much more helpful than any other practitioner that I have previously seen.
I could not recommend Marlon any more highly if you are suffering from pain in any part of your body.

As a full time producer and DJ, I've had severe back pains! Always sitting, always standing. I contacted Marlon, and in only 2 sessions, I feel much better than I... read more had felt in years. It's not just about the massage therapy, its the way he connects to you, and makes you realize that you're more powerful than you think. I feel great, and I have no pain. Thank You Marlon
I highly recommend Marlon Walker: Remedial Massage South Yarra, and I will defiantly use him again.

The consultation with Marlon was a positive experience. He is empathetic and provides a safe space to open up.
However, my negative experience started afterward. It felt like he used sales... read more tactics to drive his program. It is unethical to use the sensitive and personal experiences someone shares as a means to push sales, implying that one cannot reach their goals or improve without joining his program.
Keep it real, please.

My first visit today, going in for badly spasming muscles in my lower back.
Marlon is both very academically qualified and spirituality wholistic.
After a series of diagnostic tests (various body positions),... read more he diagnosed there was a problem with my right leg affecting my posture. When he began to work on the leg I couldn't believe how tight it was, I had no idea. I am 6ft tall and he was strong enough to completely loosen it.
After further tests, only then did he move onto my back but, again, he only moved onto the affected muscles after targeting related areas that were causing the problem.
Overall it was an extremely targeted and very potent treatment; Marlon does have the physical strength to treat a male properly.
I walked out without the pain and feeling very relieved. He also then followed up with advice over the phone.
A great professional.

I was visiting from interstate for the Melbourne Half Marathon event and training hadn’t gone to plan. I was suffering from pretty debilitating quad tightness and calfs were sore from... read more on going shin splint management. Whilst my worry was growing about how I was going to get through the race without consistent pain- I booked in online which was super easy and Marlon made time for me early the next morning due to the circumstances. Marlon was a complete professional and took great time and care to understand and test the issues before recommending/providing the correct treatment. He talked through each stage and the specific details so that I understood along with breathing exercises and I left the session not only physically improved but in a better mental headspace knowing the treatment I had received was targeted and effective. I ran a PB in the half marathon that weekend and will absolutely return to Marlon when I am back next year! Highly recommended.
