TYPES OF MASSAGE
Remedial Massage
Corrective manual movement of specific soft tissues, using a combination of techniques for the treatment of musculo-skeletal problems.
Sports Massage
A deep tissue massage that may or may not be geared towards sports performance.
Myofascial Release
Myofascial Release is a form of soft tissue therapy that is used to treat fascial (a component of connective tissue) dysfunction which can be a major cause of pain syndromes in the body. You haven’t had a massage until you have experienced Myofascial Release!
Trigger Point Therapy
Trigger Point Therapy is used in massage therapy to help stop pain that may radiate from certain hyperirritable spots within muscle tissue from around the body. A highly trained specialist can help stop your pain with the knowledge of Trigger Point Therapy!
Vacuum Cupping
Vacuum Cupping is a form of soft tissue therapy that is used as an adjunct to restore muscle tissue and fascia! This technique dates back thousands of years and is very effective!
Who needs it?
Everyone can benefit from a massage. Perhaps you have developed an ache in your neck or back; maybe you’re mind needs to unwind after a long day at work, or you have a specific injury that needs attention. Massage is a powerful alternative therapy.
You can have a combination of massage techniques to suit your particular needs.

After reading reviews I booked Marlon. Severe neck, shoulder and headache pain followed me everyday. One session with Marlon my pain was dissolved (ouch) and I felt a... read more profound calmness I cannot explain. A focus of breathing and healing forms part of his process and whilst not your conventional remedial massage it absolutely works. Marlon has a gift and is a calm, safe and professional masseur and more.

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.

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.

My experience with Marlon was second to none, coming with multiple aches and pains through sport, stress and general body fatigue. He identified the problem in quick time and then... read more some, truly incredible the difference I felt before and after the session. Left feeling invigorated, knee pain very much reduced to nil. I have since booked in for multiple sessions as ongoing management for body tension and pain, I’ve been seriously impressed by his work and general calmness and great positive energy…..a true healer!!

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.

Had an extremely painful shoulder and back and after my massage with Marlon I was out of pain. He certainly knows what he is doing. Definitely recommend.

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.

I have suffered with what I was told was lower back pain. I was doing all the correct stretches but the issue would continually reoccur. Marlon was assessing me... read more for personal training when he noticed something and then suggested to me that the issue was with my hip and not my lower back (as I had been previously advised) ... after a few minutes Marlon had released so much pain from my right hip. It was Instant relief. I didn't realise how much pain I was in until Marlon took it away....... Prevention lies with me but at least I know the cure lies with Marlon.
5 stars ... don't hesitate.

Whenever I do bench press, I was getting a strange pain in my left arm triceps area. I stopped doing the bench press and consulted an Osteopathy. It went for... read more almost 4 to 5 sessions but no improvement. I stopped and decided to try Physiotherapy. Again Physiotherapy took some 5 to 6 sessions but there is no improvement. This almost went for more than 4 to 5 months, literally no work outs on my upper body during this period and i was so frustrated. While searching for Remedial massages near my house i came across Marlon's details. He is amazing, he listened to all my earlier stories carefully and identified that it could be due to my posture while doing the work outs. He trained me well in improving my posture and that helped me to get back in to my regular upper body work outs. Thanks for your help Marlon. Really appreciate it.
