The Remedial Massage Guy Rockingham

Sports massage, remedial massage, pregnancy massage, craniodural therapy specialist Relaxing massage for ladies. Spot work or full body massage.

Sports massage, remedial massage, pregnancy massage, post-natal massage using a variety of techniques as described on my website, www.arthurgalletly.com. Health fund rebates processed on the spot for most health funds. Over 30% of my clients are not from my catchment area of Rockingham, they come from Mandurah to Fremantle, Secret Harbour to Spearwood, Baldivis to Bertram. My hours are extremely flexible as I pride myself on being the "Go To" masseur in Rockingham when people are in pain, and it is surprisingly easy to get an appointment with me. I do get booked out some days but I try to oblige, that is a great way to attract new clients! I am always on the lookout for new clients as I have a high clearance rate. Most clients come to me with aches, pains and headaches or tight muscles. After one or two visits, many clients dont come back for 18 months. Although I do recommend maintenance massages, many people suffer from what I call Rockingham Syndrome where they treat their cars better than they look after their bodies. Key words for Facebook / Google are:

Massage Rockingham, Sports massage rockingham, Remedial massage rockingham, massage baldivis, massage secret harbour, massage bertram, pregnancy massage, post natal massage, remedial massage port kennedy, remedial massage baldivis. I am a member of an association (Massage and Myotherapy Australia), have $60 million of public liability insurance. My prices are designed to be affordable.

This reel explains some of the damaging effects of stress.

My experience suggests also that stress makes muscles tight in the neck and shoulders, which can restrict your head movement, cause headaches and other issues.

Fortunately, I find that CranioDural Therapy relieves tight muscles, increases range of motion and reduces headaches.

But it can also help to reduce these other symptoms of anxiety, depression and 'brain fog'.

Warmest place to be in this chilly weather? My clinic, of course!

Enjoy relief from aches and pains and a great massage in Rockingham's most comfortable and relaxing clinic...

I do get a huge electricity bill, but it is worthwhile creating the best possible environment, without having to pay for a flight to Bali or the need for a visa!

I brought this well thumbed tome on holiday in case it rained a lot. It hasn’t rained but I’ve been reading it anyway! It deserved another read!

The patterns for referred pain by the trigger points in 20 muscles that operate your shoulder are as fascinating as they are complex.

I have so much to thank Travell and Simons for their pioneering work on Trigger Point Therapy, and to Clair Davies for converting their work into a more digestible form. I had to buy a second copy of Clair Davies most famous work, the Trigger Point Therapy Workbook, because I wore the first copy out!

I have called my version Craniodural Therapy, combining Trigger Point Therapy with a heavily modified and enhanced Craniosacral Therapy, Myopractic, PNF stretching and more.

I think it is likely I spend more time on the neck and shoulders than most practitioners, because I am after longer lasting relief from aches, pain and headaches, and to increase range of motion.

A few weeks ago I had a new client who was regularly taking time off with severe migraines. They only booked in for 30 minutes, but it took 90 minutes for me to use my CranioDural Therapy to bring the migraine under control. I have since changed the online booking system to recommend 1 hour appointments for new clients!

The client had been to a specialist. $875 for the privilege. Was given a treatment of monthly self injections, but was getting nowhere after 3 months and so they decided to try my services.

On the second visit, after a good run, the client was back with another migraine. The client said her boss had noted she hadn't been taking time off. The client replied that it was because they weren't getting severe headaches!

The client called the Specialist to report that the injections had not helped at all, but that Remedial Massage had helped.
The specialist recommended continuing with Remedial Massage.
And charged $275 for a 9 minute phone call. That is $30 a minute!
Our medical profession is getting out of control. That is financial abuse of people who are suffering. I find it ethically reprehensible, and I am not sure it sits well with the Hyppocratic oath of beneficence and non-malevolence they take.
I'm happy that CranioDural Therapy was able to provide greater help at a fraction of the cost! I just wish more people would come to see me first!

Now that's funny. If you Google "Rockingham", I come up on the map, whilst Rockingham High School doesn't!

Someone created a new fake FB account in order to post several derogatory comments on previous posts, one of which was:

"He's a pyscopath (sic) the bald guy".

Bald? Me? Not so sure about that!

I have asked to have a couple removed, one which contained an expletive. I have now blocked the account, but some of the multiple comments remain.

Not sure when I became bald!

I also had to ask to have a review removed as it related to my efforts to improve road safety around Rockingham, attending council meetings to try and get things done. I have attempted to better coordinate the traffic lights on Read St to improve traffic flow, raised concerns about safety for pedestrians, cyclists etc crossing at the roundabout at Read St / Safety Bay Road in a 70kph zone, asked why bus shelters have been removed, etc. The one star review had absolutely nothing to do with my practice!!

Busy Sunday morning! Traffic lights out on Read St thanks to power lines downed, tangled around fallen tree branches, in the access road to Rockingham High School. Western Power were aware of an uplanned outage. Now they know the cause! They have been inundated with calls so it may take some time before the lights are working.. I removed several branches from Read St, but there was one huge branch way too big for me to remove. Made the call and less than 20 minutes later help arrived to apply surgical intervention with a chain saw.

FB tells me it is 9 years since I posted this photo. Since then, there has been a steadily increasing number of people presenting with neck related issues, aches, pains, headaches and restricted movement. Often caused by how we use technology!

Fortunately, I have honed and improved my skills in this area during this time. I was fortunate enough to study CranioSacral Therapy in 2005. Over the years I have modified the techniques and added to them. Beecause what I do is now is very different, I have renamed it CranioDural therapy. Just as your phone is very different to the phone you had in 2005, when people used their phones to make phone calls!

I call it CranioDural Therapy due to the sustained stretch that I do that stretches the muscles at the back of the neck, the spine, to take pressure off the shock absorbers, the intervertebral discs, and finally stretches the spinal cord. The outer casing of the spinal cord is the Dura Mater, Latin for hard mother. However it is generally abbreviated to Dura. Stretching the spinal cord has enormous benefits for your central nervous system!

Stretching the spine sometimes helps relieve nerve impingement, and can relieve symptoms of tingling, pins and needles, numbness or pain in the arm. If a client has these symptoms, I perform the stretch for longer, until my finger tips go numb, but the results are well worth it!

Here’s why I distrust AI. To save you reading scores of reviews for a business on Google, the Google AI reads all the reviews on your behalf and produces a summary for you to save you time.
Some of it is accurate and some is garbage, but how can potential clients detect what is accurate and what is not?
For example, the summary reports that many people find my hot stone massage particularly effective. Nice compliment. One slight technical problem.
I have never performed a hot stone massage in my life!

It raises questions:
How do I report to Google that I don't offer hot stone massage?
How to ask Google to stop using AI to produce these summaries of reviews of your business due to your reservations about its accuracy?
What if these blunders are defamatory or libellous?
How to press for damages if the inaccuracies adversely affect your business?

We're off to Langkawi and a couple of former tin mining towns, Taiping and Ipoh, nice to explore somewhere different! Although Taiping is the wettest town in Malaysia, it will be interesting to see one of the oldest towns, where tin was transported by train to Penang for export. We are going in the allegedly "dry" season, which means simply that it doesn't rain quite as much! Taiping gets a whopping 130 inches of rain a year, or 3.2 metres! That's a lot of wet stuff!

Thanks to an obscure setting on my iPhone, my greeting has been that I am closed until December 24. Only just discovered that it hasn’t been using the correct greeting I changed it to since returning from Bali last year! Now fixed. Thanks iPhone for losing me many appointments! I’m laughing, though at how technology can both assist and be detrimental at the same time! Expecting my practice to be busier now this glitch is fixed!

Our Story

Sports massage, remedial massage, pregnancy massage, post-natal massage using a variety of techniques as described on my website, www.arthurgalletly.com. Spot work or full body massage. Health fund rebates processed on the spot for most health funds. Over 30% of my clients are not from my catchment area of Rockingham, they come from Mandurah to Fremantle, Secret Harbour to Spearwood, Baldivis to Bertram. This is good because there are around 150 people doing massage in Rockingham! My hours are extremely flexible as I pride myself on being the "Go To" masseur in Rockingham when people are in pain, and it is surprisingly easy to get an appointment with me.

I am a Medibank Members' Choice Provider, the only one between Mandurah and Booragoon. This means my clinic has been approved by Medibank Private, I am a member of an association (Australian Association of Massage Therapists), have $20 of public liability insurance, and abide by a pricing structure. My prices are well below, so that people from surrounding suburbs and townships can see me at a good price, swipe their Health Fund cards, pay the gap fee with EFTPOS and be about their way...
