Melbourne Massage and Treatment - Fitzroy North Reviews

I can’t recommend Giovanni at Melbourne Massage and Treatment highly enough. I had been suffering debilitating shoulder pain for more than 12 months and had tried multiple therapies with little success. My doctor suggested I see Giovanni after hearing excellent feedback from other patients — and I’m so glad she did. After just one session, the shoulder pain that had been tormenting me for so long disappeared. Giovanni has an exceptional understanding of anatomy and biomechanics, and his ability to quickly identify and treat the root cause of a problem is impressive. He is also professional, personable and easy to be around. I was so impressed that I now attend regular fitness classes with him to improve my range of motion and strength. Highly recommended.

I highly recommend the Giovanni for his expertise in treating Lymphoedema. I’m grateful for the time Giovanni has spent a filling out the application for compression stockings subsidised through the SWEP program. I wouldn’t think of going anywhere else.

Thanks so much for your feed back 😀 I am glad to hear you found my approach professional and useful for your presentation. MLD is an amazing hands on treatment m, bust as we spoke about it, there is no hands on treatment that can fix any issues, if is not followed by other self-intervantions, like exercise, diet and more.
Thanks A.
Talks soon.

I’ve been having manual lymphatic drainage massages with Giovanni, since I was diagnosed with a medical condition that causes swelling a few months ago. Giovanni is very knowledgeable and supportive. He always takes the time to chat, provide guidance and to discuss any concerns I may have. The massages are relaxing and enjoyable although I’m not sure theyre making much difference to my condition at this stage.

Thanks so much Anna for taking time to review my services.
As mentioned along our sessions, you are doing a great job in being on top of your presentation, by staying active and doing all the right things.
I may leave you a private message with more details about why a monthly MLD session, would not create visual change for a presentation like yours, but still, is helpful for relaxation treatment, maintain the inflammation at ease, and stimulate lymph circulation.
Thanks Anna.

Giovanni was excellent - he did a proper pre massage assessment to determine the treatment. The remedial massage was incredibly relaxing and effective. After the massage he took the time to show me how to do some at home exercises and sent me a PDF as well. The whole experience was above and beyond my expectations. Highly recommend Giovanni!

I had the best experience. I am usually skeptical if there are only positive reviews but I’m so glad I went to see Giovanni. I’m on travels but my hip arthroscopy from January still causes strong pain. I was quite desperate to get some help. He took a lot of time for examining and understanding my pain. He had an holistic approach with Myotherapy, fitness class exercises for mobility and strength, massage and dry needling. I received an PDF with advices and exercises just shortly after the appointment. Strong recommendation for everyone who searches for an expert that does everything to help reduce personal physical struggles.

My experience with Giovanni was wonderful, I had undertaken a Liposuction he was able to provide me education about the massages and was professional and supportive from start to finish. The staff were caring, and Giovanni was both reassuring and attentive throughout the process. He helped treat the fibrosis around my abdomen, arms, and back. While my stomach was initially very hard, with time and multiple sessions he was able to successfully address and resolve this concern. I am very pleased with the results and would confidently recommend their services.

Thanks Kamis to leave here your testimonial about how Lymphatic Drainage Massage (MLD) did help you recovering from a post Liposuction intervention.
Post-Cosmetic Surgery care is important, and needs to be address via Lymphatic Drainage as per compression therapy and movement. And you done really well in following all the protocols given.
All the best Kamis!

Giovanni is knowledgeable, attentive and knows how to get results. The exercises he designed have improved my overall body strength and addressed the physical balance issue. He talked me through the correct exercise form and showed me the detailed technique to prevent injury and maximise the benefits. I highly recommend Giovanni.

I recently saw Giovanni at Melbourne Massage and Treatment in Fitzroy North for a lymphatic drainage massage and separate fitness classes, and I couldn’t recommend him more. From the moment I walked in, he took the time to understand my needs – especially my gut health concerns (ulcerative colitis) – and explained everything clearly so I knew exactly what to expect. The massage left me completely relaxed, and his genuine care really showed. For the exercise classes, Giovanni was patient, attentive, and careful, making sure I felt comfortable and confident every step of the way. He’s not only knowledgeable and skilled, but also friendly and genuinely caring. I left feeling lighter, stronger, and well looked after. I’ll definitely be returning.

My experiences at Melbourne Massage and Treatment have all be exceptional. Giovanni has given me very good deep tissue massages for aches and pains, and also given me simple exercises to improve mobility, lymph drainage and stability/balance. I highly recommend him and will continue to use him.

I had a lymphatic drainage massage with Giovanni, and it was an incredible experience. From the calming music to Giovanni’s thoughtful explanations about how the treatment can help with stress and anxiety, everything was perfect. He is extremely knowledgeable and made me feel completely at ease. I left feeling deeply relaxed, and it has made a noticeable difference in reducing my stress and anxiety. I’ll definitely be back—this is a must-try experience!

Thanks Andre for sharing your experience with Lymphatic Drainage Massage for stress and anxiety management.
Given the light touch and repetitive stimulation of the skin and its mechanoreceptors, Lymphatic Drainage Massage can definitely makes a difference with those presentation, by relaxing the nervous system, and by stimulating the lymphatic system to take away exceed inflammatory response.
Looking forward to keep working on your well-being Andre.
Thanks
