Massage in Petersham

You don’t need to be in crisis mode to benefit from massage.

Sometimes your body’s just holding onto too much — from long commutes, busy workdays, or just trying to keep all the plates spinning. Massage can give your nervous system a proper reset, ease what’s tight, and help you feel more like yourself again.

At Human Movement Co., massage goes beyond relaxation. It’s a hands-on way to reduce stress, restore movement, and reconnect with your body — especially when life pulls you in ten different directions.

What we often hear from locals in Petersham:

  • “My shoulders are always tense — I carry stress in my upper back.”
  • “I just want to feel a bit looser and more relaxed in my body.”
  • “I’ve been pushing through — now everything feels tight.”
  • “I’m doing chiro or physio — and I think massage would help.”
  • “I feel like I need to decompress — mentally and physically.”

Most people wait until it starts affecting sleep, mood, or movement — but it’s usually been building up long before. That’s when we tend to meet people who are:

  • Pushing through tightness they can’t seem to shake
  • Tired of massages that feel nice but don’t really change anything
  • Sitting, lifting, or multitasking nonstop — and feeling the toll
  • Wanting to stay mobile, strong, and a little more grounded for the long term

Hear from our founder, Dr Elch, as he shares how we help patients feel better, move better, and get back to what matters — whatever that looks like for them.

You’ll be looked after by a diploma-qualified massage therapist who works closely with our in-house chiro and physio team.

And if you’re already seeing one of our chiropractors or physios, massage can be a great complement — helping you reset between sessions and soften the strain on your system.

Health fund rebates are available if your policy covers remedial massage.

Coming from Petersham? You’re only a few minutes away from quality care that doesn’t feel like guesswork.

  • Highly recommended! I've been seeing Chiropractor Tim for almost two years now and I am beyond grateful. He is a very thoughtful and caring professional, he will ask to the detail on what brought you to the clinic, explain you why your injury might have happened, give you exercises accordingly and follow up if required. Since he is an athlete himself... read more

  • I’ve been seeing Tim for my neck pain, and I can’t recommend him highly enough. He took the time to understand my symptoms, provided excellent treatment that relieved my pain, and went above and beyond by teaching me exercises and stretches to prevent it from returning. His professionalism, expertise, and genuine care that he has had for me is amazing.... read more

  • Tim is phenomenal. I had a lower back injury with displaced disks. Tim was both targeted and gentle with his treatment, and literally helped me stand up and walk again.
