I had never had massage therapy before, and when I become a regular gym user lifting weights a lot, I found I was getting quite sore a lot and that natural rest and relaxation, even protein and muscle pain relief gels (like Voltaren) were not helping.  A close friend suggested I just HAD to get massage therapy, and recommended Neil at Townsville Massage, so he booked me a session before I could even protest.

I was a  little nervous as I was told it can be a little uncomfortable getting all your muscles worked on, but I must say that after my first session, I have never felt more comfortable in my body in my life.  It was as if I hadn’t trained, did too many crunches or lifted weights in 6 months.  I’m a regular now, and am following his advice to take magnesium tablets and epson salt baths.  I’ve found I am able to keep my body from getting to that all too familiar state of being very sore and painful, so I can concentrate on what’s important, keeping fit and feeling good about it.

I’m sold on Townsville Massage!

In October 2005 I felt very tight and sore in the upper arm area. This was so bad that I couldn’t dress myself properly without help. Neil diagnosed it as a Frozen Shoulder. Me being me I didn’t just have one but both shoulders were the same, which made it very difficult to carry out a full days work like I used to.

Neil suggested that I have massage twice a week until it was right. When I went to my general GP for a check up I asked him about it and he said it could last up to twelve months. As you can imagine this did not impress me, so the massages started.

Now three months later I am back to my normal self thanks to Neil. He needed to be cruel to be kind and at times got told off by me but I couldn’t have done it without him.

Thanks Neil. I would recommend you to anyone.

I have used therapeutic massage for several years to assist with recovery from a physically demanding job.

I was in Townsville recently for work and was lucky to meet Neil Case.  His massage technique was by far the most thorough and effective I have ever had and left me feeling stronger and more flexible than I had in years.

He did an incredible job and I was so impressed I made another booking before I left and one for my wife at the same time.

My only disappointment was finding him so late in my stay that I could only squeeze in three massages before my work was completed.  I cannot praise Neil’s work highly enough and would recommend his services to anyone.

My left arm was giving me hell. I couldn’t use it to perform the simplest of tasks. I had tried a few physiotherapists and got no relief. Doctors gave me cortisone injections but these were no help either.

A chance conversations led me to Neil who diagnosed the condition as a Frozen Shoulder and recommended two treatments a week for about twenty minutes a time.

Within eight weeks, I pretty well had full use of the arm again but it seemed I was going to be one of the few who got the condition in the other arm. We started treatment initially just after New Year and by Easter, I was as right as rain.

I would suggest that anyone who even thinks they have a Frozen Shoulder should talk to you.

Thanks a heap…

I first saw Neil when I was a bit of a mess.

My back was causing be considerable pain and my knee was making walking an effort as well. After a full body massage, I found that the sorness in my back muscles had almost disappeared and the arthritis pain in my right knee had been relieved considerably.

I believe massage helped me to keep walking pain free and the trigger point therapy he used on my back reduced my pain significantly. Massage worked for me and I would certainly recommend it to anyone.

Working on a big lathe, I found that every time I pulled back on the chuck key, I would experience the most excruciating back pain. I would last for days and the intensity would be such that it would cause me to throw up. The pain also seemed to come through to my chest. Sleeping was easier on a lounge chair.

A friend recommended I make an appointment with Neil and arrangements were made to visit on a weekly basis.

By the end of the month, all pain had gone and I wonder now why I put up with the agony for so long.

Massage is magic. End of story, except to say if I have anything go wrong with the back again, I’ll be calling Neil for sure.

Neil has massaged me for five years. He is the kind of masseur that really listens to the client. I have had surgery on my shoulders twice in the past two years and have used Neil’s expert knowledge to speed up and improve my recovery.

My surgeon and physio have both remarked how my range of movement has returned and how advanced it is post-op. A physio commented this year on my first shoulder saying that I had had a wonderful result. This, I  believe is from the massages performed by Neil in the recovery and rehabilitation phase.

Neil’s knowledge on shoulder problems is of particular note and an advantage to anyone with one. Prior to the surgery I have always been a fitness minded person and have used Neil on regular basis to aid in recover from very hard sessions. Neil’s patience, understanding, professionalism and easy going manner make for a pleasant experience.

I have had back pain and sciatica for many years, and have had a wide range of treatments, many of which gave only minimal short term relief.

However, Neil’s caring and professional approach, and his thorough knowledge of muscles and how the body works makes him unique in his field.

His was the best massage I have ever had, and even after one treatment I felt great relief. I cannot speak too highly not only of his skill, but also of his compassion and understanding.

I have had a debilitating back injury for 21 years and been to physiotherapists acupuncturists and other massage therapists both in Queensland and the Northern Territory.

Through my visits to Neil, my condition has seen an immediate improvement in my neck, arms and back. My recovery has been something that other therapists have not been able to achieve, and I have reached the stage where my appointments are few and far between.

I have no hesitation in recommending Neil and the services he provides.
