Louise Norman

Louise completed her Diploma of Remedial Massage at Kangan Bateman TAFE, Melbourne, and then continued on to further her training with an Advanced Diploma of Remedial Massage (Myotherapy).

Louise has over two and a half years of clinical massage experience working in sporting clubs and clinical practice settings.

Louise is a member of the Australian Association of Massage Therapists (AAMT) and is a registered practitioner with most major private health funds, entitling her patients to claim private heath insurance rebates.

Louise is an experienced remedial massage therapist and myotherapist. Treatments begin with an individual assessment for muscular injury, imbalances and dysfunction of nerves, ligaments and joints. Louise practices preventative, corrective and rehabilitation therapy to maintain and achieve the normal integrity of the soft tissue structures of the body. With myotherapy techniques, Louise focuses on long term pain relief and maintenance of the body.

Louise uses a variety of specialised techniques, depending on individual needs. These techniques include:

• Cupping
  
• Deep tissue massage
  
• Dry needling
  
• Muscle stretching
  
• Joint mobilisation
  
• Trigger point deactivation
  
• Sports specific massage
  
• Myofascial release
  
• Lymphatic drainage
  
• Reflexology

Treatments with Louise improve a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions such as muscle tension, headaches, back and neck pain, sporting injuries, restricted movement as well as relieving stress-related tension and providing support for pregnant women.

Regular massage stimulates blood and lymphatic circulation, promotes deep relaxation, reduces anxiety and tension, reduces tightness from muscles and tendons, provides pain relief, corrects postural imbalances, restores neuromuscular function, deactivates trigger points and increases joint range and mobility.

Louise’s professional and caring approach plus clinical experience, make her a valued member of the Salus team of practitioners.
