Client Testimonials
“I have had lower back and knee pain for 10 years. My personal trainer recommended I see a massage therapist and referred me to Vic. Being honest, I was sceptical at first. Doctors said there wasn’t much I could do about my pain and normal massages only made it worse. After my first session with Vic I was converted. The pain in my back and knee were relieved for the first time in years. I have never felt better and always look forward to my sessions with Vic. I tell everyone I know Vic has the hands of a God…don’t believe me? Make an appointment and see for yourself!”

“Thank you for the instant relief that your magic hands have given me, I was in agony from chronic pain and after just one session with you I was able to continue my day with much less pain and more comfort than I had been experiencing for weeks and after your ongoing treatment I am have suffered less pain than I have in years. I can’t speak highly enough of your service and knowledge in your field of expertise and, I have recommended you very highly to all my family, friends and colleagues.”

“I am a fulltime personal trainer and had been suffering extreme pain in my shoulder for some time. This pain was beginning to interfere in my day to day work. As the pain was intensifying I discussed it with Vic, who subsequently treated me. Vic quickly diagnosed that I had a shoulder impingement and in the first massage session he relieved a lot of my pain. After the second session the pain was all but gone . He showed me some rehab exercises to do and to this day it hasn’t bothered me again. Vic was friendly, honest and extremely professional. I have since sent friends and clients of mine to see Vic and they all have similar stories of success. I highly recommend his services both for his expertise and friendly nature.”

“I sustained a back injury at golf and massage therapy was suggested. Vic Solomon massage therapy helped enormously and after a couple of sessions I was back on the course. Thanks Vic!”

“Just a brief note to say thankyou for the treatment you have provided me in the last six months in relation to my arm. I have found the massage has improved movement, reduced pain and has encouraged me to more active to the point I am now able to kayak and swim again comfortably. I also have found your suggested exercises useful and easy follow and they have helped me help myself.

“I’m rather conservative in my medical treatment. But in early 2009 my GP was unable to assist in alleviating the substantial pain I was experiencing in my lower back and leg; a pain so incapacitating that a trip to Tasmania had to be cancelled. I tried medication and acupuncture all to no avail and my past experience with chiropractics left me desperately seeking an alternative solution.
On a recommendation I attended Vic Solomon who, among other forms of treatment, provides pain management massage. I had previously been told and soon appreciated that Vic is highly qualified and extensively experienced in massage including that focusing on pain relief. The positive effects of the massage therapy were almost immediate although of short duration following the first session. But two more sessions over the following week combined with muscle and spine relaxing exercises, that Vic demonstrated and then gave me to perform in my own time, left me totally pain free for the first time in almost 4 months.
So when I experienced pain in my shoulder and upper arm towards the end of 2009 I did not hesitate to see Vic again. By the second session of massage and exercise the pain was diminishing, the pain relief medication shelved and sleepless nights brought to an end.
I am still conservative in my choice of medical treatment but if there is no relief from pain I would strongly recommend massage treatment with Vic Solomon.”

“I have been a regular client of Vic Solomon’s for over three years, and consider him to be the best in the business. I require remedial massage on an ongoing basis and find Vic to be professional and knowledgeable in his chosen field. Vic always has time for a chat and always manages to make sense of my descriptions of ailments and aches! More to the point, I get results and always walk out of the practice a few millimetres taller than when I walked in.

“I injured my lower back in a work accident nearly 14 years ago. I have constant back and leg pain, particularly nerve pain, ever since. I have had a number of surgeries and numerous hospital stays. For nearly 7 years I could only walk with the aid of crutches. I was even in a wheel chair for 8 months. Over the last 14 years I have tried just about every treatment available. Some good, some not so good and some just a waste of time and money.
I was referred to Vic nearly 12 months ago now and he has changed my life. With his very first treatment he had me standing up straight and relatively pain free. What was fantastic was the fact he managed to greatly lower the nerve pain in my legs. I will never forget that first consultation….he took the time to really look at me, my posture and stance, asked me many questions and examined my xrays and scans. I have never had a massage therapist do this before!
After many years of back and leg pain my whole body was out of ‘sink’ and I now suffer neck and shoulder pain as well. On the second visit Vic treated my neck and shoulders as well as my back and legs. It was fantastic !! I had not felt this good in a very long time. He really knows his ‘stuff’ and I would not hesitate in referring him to anyone. I am so grateful I found him. It is so good to know that when the pain and discomfort increases that there is someone out there I can trust to relieve it.”

“My 10 year old daughter, Melanie, is a National Level 5 gymnast. Melanie injured her wrist right before National Clubs Championships in December 2008 and looked like not competing. Vic was recommended to us by a relative who is also a massage therapist. Melanie was able to compete and her results were great. Melanie has been seeing Vic on a regular basis since then. Vic is wonderful, with a kind and gentle friendly nature. I recommend Vic to everyone.”

“I was injured in my workplace due to the failures of my employer to comply with OHS obligations. My injuries are stress related and have been ongoing for some twenty years. This included being unlawfully terminated in 1997 after they were exposed before the NSW Royal Commission and I blew the whistle on their misconduct. In reprisal by my employer pursued me through the courts in or about 2002/3 to which I responded to the extent they withdrew and I was subjected under duress to having to sign a silencing agreement.
I have found Vic’s deep tissue/remedial massage over the past two years extremely beneficial for lightening the stress tension of muscles in the neck, shoulders and lower back, effectively reducing headaches and promoting deeper and heavier breathing, greater flexibility and allowing me to swim and cycle again. I have found the massage to enhance a feeling of well being, reducing levels of anxiety (particularly as the threats continue) and, promoting a relaxed state of awareness, and a calmer mind.
I recommend Vic as a skilled practitioner to implement remedial massage for stress related injuries. In so saying I am cognisant that Massage Therapy has been proven to help in the treatment of stress, depression and anxiety, reducing the physical and psychological sequale of these conditions. I have found Vic’s deep tissue remedial massage to be a core component of my ongoing treatment program.”
