Ryo Shitamichi
Remedial Massage Therapist
Originally from Japan, I migrated to Australia in 2009, and qualified as a Remedial Massage Therapist in Brisbane in 2013.
My primary focus is to alleviate aches, pains, and general tightness in the body. I often find that tension isn’t isolated to just one area or muscle, but rather that the whole body is interconnected, and so I usually address multiple areas during my treatments to provide comprehensive relief.
I speak fluent English and have a good sense of humour. My additional training in Japan influences some of my techniques, which may feel slightly different from what you’re used to. I generally apply firm pressure to target deeper muscle layers, but am always happy to adjust to your preference if you prefer lighter treatment. I am also trained in dry needling and use sliding cupping when I feel it will help. I especially enjoy collaborating with our osteopaths and acupuncturists here at Caloundra Osteo to ensure the best possible outcomes for our patients.
