An Experienced Remedial Massage Therapist in Tingalpa:Augustine Bub Remedial Massage Therapist

Augustine brings extensive experience in massage and musculoskeletal therapy to our Tingalpa clinic.

His journey into manual therapy is also unique. After losing his vision at the age of 15, Augustine later travelled to Singapore, where he undertook further training under Dr Victor.

During this time, he developed advanced hands-on skills and gained experience in a range of therapeutic techniques that continue to influence his approach today.

Augustine’s strong sense of touch and extensive clinical experience allow him to adapt each treatment according to the needs and comfort of the individual.

People commonly seek remedial massage for areas such as:

• Neck and shoulder tension
• Lower back discomfort
• Tight calves and hamstrings
• Muscle soreness after exercise
• General muscular stiffness
• Postural muscle tension
• Sports-related muscle fatigue

Treatment may involve a combination of massage, pressure techniques, soft tissue work and stretching.

Sports Massage in Tingalpa:

Augustine Bub Remedial Massage Therapist

Sports massage is not only for professional athletes.

It may also be useful for recreational runners, gym users, cyclists, football players and anyone regularly involved in physical activity.

Depending on your needs, sports massage may be used to help manage:

• Post-exercise muscle soreness
• Muscular tightness
• Training-related fatigue
• Reduced flexibility
• Recovery between training sessions

Augustine can adjust the pressure and treatment style depending on your sport, training load and individual preferences.

Deep Tissue Massage

Deep tissue massage uses slower and more targeted pressure to work with deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue.

Some people choose deep tissue massage when they experience persistent muscular tightness or prefer a firmer style of treatment.

However, treatment does not always need to be painful to be effective. Augustine adjusts pressure according to your comfort and response.

Eastern Massage Techniques

One of Augustine’s strengths is his experience with traditional Eastern manual therapy techniques.

These may include:

Acupressure

Acupressure involves applying pressure to specific areas of the body using the fingers, hands or thumbs.

Shiatsu

Shiatsu is a Japanese form of bodywork that uses pressure and assisted movement techniques.

Tui Na

Tui Na is a traditional Chinese manual therapy approach that may incorporate massage, pressure and movement techniques.

These approaches can be integrated with more familiar remedial massage techniques depending on the person’s needs and treatment goals.

Lymphatic Drainage Massage

Augustine also provides lymphatic drainage massage.

This is a lighter form of massage that uses gentle techniques designed to encourage the movement of lymphatic fluid.

Because swelling can have many different causes, people with significant or unexplained swelling should seek appropriate medical advice before commencing treatment.

Personalised Massage Treatment

There is no single massage technique that is suitable for everyone.

Before treatment, Augustine will discuss your symptoms, areas of concern and treatment preferences.

Your session can then be adapted according to whether your goal is to:

• Reduce muscular tension
• Recover following sport or exercise
• Improve mobility
• Manage ongoing muscle discomfort
• Relax and reduce general physical tension
• Maintain muscle and soft tissue health

This individualised approach allows treatment to be adjusted as your needs change.
