Verdelab Myotherapy & Remedial Massage

Meet Sean Kelliher 🧠✨ — the neuro-massage mind behind so many of our clients' "why does it not hurt anymore?" moments.

Sean is one of our senior remedial massage therapists here at Verdelab, and a qualified Neurokinetic Therapy (NKT) practitioner. That means he doesn't just treat the sore spot — he investigates why it's sore in the first place.

Using specialised muscle testing, Sean maps out how your brain and body are coordinating movement, uncovering the compensation patterns that keep pulling your pain back, even after a great massage. From there, he builds a treatment plan that blends skilled remedial massage with corrective techniques — aiming for relief that actually lasts.

If you've been stuck in a cycle of "it feels better for a few days, then it's back," Sean's approach might be exactly what your body's been asking for. 💛

Ever notice how a massage doesn't just relax you in the moment — it actually helps you sleep better that night? 😴✨

Turns out, that's not just in your head. Massage has a real effect on your body's chemistry: it lowers cortisol (your stress hormone) and boosts serotonin — which your body uses to make melatonin, the hormone that helps regulate sleep.

So if you've been lying awake with a racing mind, waking up with a tight neck, or just can't seem to switch off at night, your body might be telling you it needs a little help getting there.

We've popped the full science behind it on our blog (link below 👇) — worth a read if sleep has been a struggle lately.

Pregnancy does incredible things to your body — and asks a lot of it too 🤰✨

Sore lower back? Tight hips? That third-trimester ache that just won't quit? You're not imagining it, and you don't have to just push through it.

Our therapists are trained in pregnancy-safe massage — safe positioning, pressure that adapts to how you're feeling, and a proper conversation about your pregnancy before we even start.

Massage is generally considered safe through every stage of pregnancy — but every body and every pregnancy is different, so we always chat through your situation first (and loop in your GP/obstetrician if needed).

New blog post is up now with everything you need to know — trimester-by-trimester, what to expect, and answers to the questions we get asked most. Link below 🌿

❄️ Cooler weather, tighter muscles ❄️As the temperature drops, our bodies tend to tense up — stiff shoulders, sore backs, and that heavy, sluggish feeling are all part of the seasonal shift. The good news? Remedial massage and myotherapy are two of the best ways to counter it.
Remedial massage helps boost circulation, ease muscular tension, and leave you feeling loose and relaxed. Myotherapy goes a step further, targeting the root cause of pain and tightness using techniques like trigger point therapy and myofascial release — perfect for old injuries or chronic tension that flares up in the cold.
Whether you need a full reset or some targeted relief, our team at Verdelab is here to help you move through winter feeling your best.

Massage isn't a luxury for mums. It's a necessity. Here's why:

🌿 Releases chronic tension in the neck, shoulders + upper back
🌿 Reduces stress hormones and calms an overworked nervous system
🌿 Improves sleep quality — because you need real rest
🌿 Relieves headaches caused by tension and fatigue
🌿 Restores a sense of calm, clarity and connection to yourself
🌿 Eases the physical strain of carrying, lifting and doing it all

Whether she's a new mum, a busy mum or a mum who simply never puts herself first — a Verde Lab gift voucher is the gift that says "you matter."

Mother's Day is Sunday 11 May — treat the mum in your life to something she'll truly feel. 💚🌿

Healing isn't always visible — but it's always happening. After injury, your soft tissue moves through three phases: inflammation, repair, and remodelling. Remedial massage works with each stage, helping fibres align, circulation flow, and your nervous system reset.

Whether you're recovering from injury or simply carrying the weight of a busy life — your body deserves support. Book a session with us in Brunswick. 🌿

Pain and tension have a way of settling in and making themselves at home. But they don't have to stay. 🌿

At Verdelab, we combine the healing touch of remedial massage with the clinical depth of myotherapy — working together to find the source of what's holding your body back, and gently helping it let go.

Whether you're deep in recovery or simply overdue for some proper care, we'd love to look after you. Come and see us in Brunswick. 💚

✨ Is stress quietly affecting your health?

When cortisol stays elevated for too long, the effects go far beyond feeling tense. We're talking disrupted sleep, lowered immunity, chronic pain, fatigue, and even digestive issues — your body is sending you signals.

Remedial massage and myotherapy are powerful tools to help bring your nervous system back into balance. By reducing cortisol and stimulating your parasympathetic response, regular treatment supports:

🌿 Better sleep & recovery
💆 Relief from muscle pain & tension
🧠 Reduced stress & anxiety
❤️ Stronger immune function
⚡ More energy & mental clarity

At Verdelab in Brunswick, our therapists take a whole-body approach — treating the root cause of your symptoms, not just masking them.
