MASSAGE by Mike Brisbane.jpg

Everybody deserves good health and happiness. My goal is to help people achieve both.

 

Hi, I'm Mike. I am a qualified massage therapist specialising in sports and deep tissue massage therapy, and I have been a certified, licensed practitioner for fifteen years. I have lived, worked, and studied around the world and tried to bring all my experiences back to my clients.

I have worked on a diverse group of people, from celebrities, professional athletes, weekend warriors, gym junkies, workaholics, and stay-at-home dads. I treat every massage as a challenge and try my best to make it the very best experience possible.

Everybody's needs vary from person-to-person and from day-to-day. I use a combination of Eastern and Western methods of physical therapy disciplines and healing based on your needs. My main focus is on muscle manipulation, pressure points, and recovery.

I'm based in Brisbane and have a quiet studio located in my home in Annerley. I also spend a lot of time down at the Gold Coast and have many regular clients there, so give me a call to find out when I will be at the beach. 

I'm available from 8 am to 8 pm every day. I do get booked up frequently, and I am happy to discuss after-hours appointments if necessary.

I love massage therapy. For me, it's a feel-good thing. I try my best to achieve four things after a massage with me; Wow, that was an incredible massage, what a great guy, that was money well spent and when can I book my next appointment.

“My massage with Mike was incredible. He truly knows how to give a great massage, and he put me in a state of bliss. He is very professional, and an all around great guy. He has a very comfortable massage table, and his studio was very clean. I am already looking forward to my next massage with him.”

Skill- Wonderful technique, executed with great confidence, talent and grace. Heart- He has great energy, nurturing and always honest, with magic hands. Do yourself a favour give this guy a call!.”

Phillip T Rivera

 

"Mike is AMAZING! Very professional, always reliable, his place is spotless and I leave every massage feeling incredibly relaxed. RECOMMENDED!"

Bryan M Sevilla

 

"I have been to see Michael for a massage several times in the last few months. He is enormously talented and has some terrific techniques that are very individual. His space is set up beautifully - set at just the right temperature and just the right light. I always leave feeling incredibly relaxed and wondering if I should have booked for longer. I can highly recommend him for a top-quality massage. His winning smile and charming personality are just a bonus."

Daniel Kellerman

 

"Mike is a great masseur. Strong hands, super friendly attitude, he delivers an incredible massage with the perfect touch. 5 stars aren't enough I highly, highly, highly recommended!"

Dominic Walsh

 

"Mike gives one helluva great massage. It's funny, but I left feeling relaxed and recharged. I definitely recommend making an appointment, you won't be disappointed. I'll be going back for more!" 

Chuck Peyton

 

"What a great discovery! Mike has created the perfect “bubble” (his word), a very clean calm quiet space and he doesn’t play music which I really like. I fell asleep when he was doing my calf muscles and I have never gone to sleep during a massage before. I’m very impressed with this guy and I can’t recommend him enough. Give him a call!"

Lee Ryder

 

"Five Stars indeed, I have been used to having therapeutic massage on a regular basis for the last 25 years. So I know good from fantastic. Mike is fantastic, intuitive, firm, healing and rejuvenating. His comfortable treatment room creates a wonderful calming atmosphere. Thank you so much" 

Simon Beeston

 

"Mike is AMAZING! 100% Recommended! You won't find better anywhere in Brisbane!" 

Matheus Rocha

 

"Mike was fantastic. I am always anxious around finding a new massage therapist. However, it didn’t take long for Mike to work his magic, and I became more relaxed. The environment itself was dark and peaceful, and Mike was happy to have a chat during the massage, which helped me feel more at ease. I would definitely recommend Mike and will be booking regular appointments." 

Tony Blanks

 

"I don't write reviews and I only recommend someone or something If I'm really impressed with the product or service. So that said ... Mike is wonderful. I was at a rather posh dinner party about 6 months ago when a guest was telling a hilarious story about throwing his back out. At the end of the story he said his speedy recovery was all due to the massage and advice he received from Mike. Before the night was over I think three of us left with Mike's number in hand. Here is what I like about Mike - It's easy to make an appointment, his place is very clean, he can read my body like a book all the tight sore spots, he doesn't play whale or rainforest sounds, in fact, he doesn't play music at all and, this is a big one, he isn't trying to sell me anything. I was going to a fancy hotel spa for massages and every time the staff tried to push me to buy products. I understand they are trying to pay the rent but seriously every time? The last six months have been a game changer for me and Mike is responsible. He has me scrubbing and moisturizing my entire body, especially my feet. I am doing stretches that work for me and my body almost every day. I guess what I'm trying to say is call Mike! I highly recommend him as a person and as a massage therapist."

J M Westmount

 

"I've had a few incredible massages with Mike over the past four months. I am a keen cyclist and have very tight leg muscles in general. But, Mike knows how to work out my hips and hamstrings like nobody else! I appreciate that he is very thorough in the areas I need it most and his pressure is just perfect. MIKE IS EXCELLENT EVERY TIME!"

Nicholas Iacona

 

"Mike is hands down one of the best massage therapists I have ever had. "
