“Febie is an excellent myotherapist who treats my 82 year old elderly mother on a fortnightly basis. I originally found Febie as I was seeking a massage therapist that can speak Cantonese. From the first appointment, you can tell straight away Febie genuinely cares for her client’s well being, going above and beyond other massage services. My Mum wants to live independently at home for as long as possible and Febie has certainly helped us achieve this goal. Not only have the regular massages made Mum feel better and become more flexible, she has helped my Mum stay strong with injury prevention strategies such as teaching her strengthening exercises, introducing her to Tai Chi, sourcing orthotics and hip pads. Highly recommended A+”

“The first time I was treated by Febie, I was surprised that I only required one session before I started to feel so much better. Febie is very good and patient at trying to understand what you’re problems are treating you on the spot and then suggesting exercises to do at work or at home. Febie has also treated me for other issues like sinus and not just my neck and back problems. Cant thank this lady enough for helping me feel better.”

“I have seen numerous medical specialists and Febie brings a thoroughness I have never encountered before. She focuses on addressing the issue regardless of the time each appointment takes, to ensure you get the necessary treatment needed to address your problem. She is very experienced and educated and has an innate sense of what the issue is before treatment even begins. Her treatments have made a huge positive difference to me and I can not recommend Febie highly enough.”
