RemStone Therapy® is a trademarked massage modality that assists massage therapists gain more efficient results, prevents their own potential injury and extends their longevity in the industry. Developed in Australia, RemStone Therapy is a unique manual therapy offering a less invasive and a more efficient treatment for muscle congestion, pain and discomfort. My Story... Have you ever wondered how Massage Therapists survive when they use their hands day in day out? With over 20 years in the Massage Industry, I have found that when Massage Therapist's put their customers first, all too often they sacrifice their own health and wellbeing. Research has found that 80% of Massage Therapists will have a work-related injury in the first 2 years after graduating. Scary statistics! Picture this: it was 2004 in a busy summer massage clinic, full books, 10 Therapists working, and a long waitlist. One morning, on the busiest day ever, the head therapist, and owner of the clinic wakes up with a painful sprained wrist... That was me. And it didn't stop there. Pain went from my wrist up to my elbow, shoulder and all the way up my neck. I had to face my therapists and clinic wearing a neck brace, not a good look! And you know what? I'm not sure what hurt more, my physical pain or the fact that I was looking down the barrel of the end of my massage career... So I knew I had to do something to stay in the world I loved.
