ABOUT ALAN TOOHEY

Alan Toohey is a remedial massage therapist based in Paddington, Sydney. Motivated by the way the body works, both physically and energetically, he is passionate about connecting with his clients and offers highly customised treatments that relieve tension, and restore ease.

His deep understanding of anatomy and physiology, his experience in yin yoga, yoga therapy and meditation, and his intuitive nature infuse his practice with a steady calm.  

He has had extensive experience in Sports Massage working with some top national and international teams including Manly Sea Eagles, Canterbury Bulldogs, NSW Waratahs, Wallabies Rugby and Women’s and Man’e National Cricket teams, plus many more while working with Julia Russell Sports Massage Aus.

My direct approach and clear communication with clients enables me to maximise each massage for the client to feel revived and restored from training, performance or their everyday busy lifestyle.

“When a client comes to me I pay attention to their posture, how they hold themselves. When someone moves, you can see where they have tension or pain, from stress, injury or simply from the practice of living. I work in a focused way to relieve that discomfort. The improvement is immediate – and very rewarding.”
