Here at TBF, we offer clinical massage versus relaxation massage. While both types contribute to well-being, clinical massage is specifically designed to treat underlying physical issues and improve the body's overall function 🙌 here's a lil more about Cleo 💪

✨New Osteo incoming ✨

Dr Aaron Vella has landed at The Body Folk in Seddon and we couldn't be more excited for his talents 🙌

Aaron balances traditional traditional osteopathic techniques with nutrition, excercise and sleep to bring about holistic wellbeing in his patients. Aaron has advanced training in fascial counterstrain (a fancy term for releasing areas of tightness and restoring fascia to its normal tension) and treating the body as a whole.

Outside of work, Aaron is a keen gym-goer, and at lunchtimes can be sighted at smashing the inner-wests undisputed best beef burger 😋🍔

Aaron will be working out of our Seddon clinic and is available for bookings on Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday morning.

Let's give him a Westie welcome 👏 👏 👏
