Leesa Ricketts – Remedial Massage Therapist

My career in the health industry began as a Remedial Massage Therapist. Studying Health Science opened my eyes to combining eastern and western philosophies in a holistic style of treatment – looking at the body as a whole and treating not only soft tissue but creating awareness of lifestyle and nutrition.

I believe that optimal health is achieved through physical activity, a balanced diet and lifestyle modifications. This belief combined with a love of the outdoors and sport was the drive behind my continued education studying Exercise Science and then completing my mat and equipment pilates qualification.

I have over 10 years’ experience working within multidisciplinary Physiotherapy Practices and have traveled with various elite sporting associations, teams, and individuals. Working alongside other professionals in these environments has increased my knowledge and experience in the areas of biomechanical and clinical assessment, manual treatments and exercise prescription.

I am a strong believer in cross referral and making sure my clients are matched with the treatments they need. This is one of the many reasons why I love working at The Living Well Studio. As a multimodal clinic specialising in Eastern and Western therapies we have the unique opportunity to keep clients care under the one roof.

My special interests in Remedial Massage and Pilates are Women’s health – pre and post-partum (we now run a mums and bubs pilates class), working with athletes during regular training and pre and post event management, chronic disease, and mental health. I adopt many different manual therapies in Remedial Massage treatments including Dry Needling, cupping, trigger point therapy, myofascial release, positional release, reflexology, breath work, heat therapy, deep tissue massage and lymphatic drainage.

Leesa has now added more hours on Wednesday evening and Saturday.

    COVID-19

    As per the government health guidelines on the 22nd of March 2020 non essential services will be closed. This does not include us. While we are still open for our usual services we will be practicing strict and heightened hygiene measures during this time to prevent further spread of COVID-19.

    From the PM’s address today, we want to be clear we are not a gym. We are a health care practice, that provides services to optimise health and reduce pain from musculoskeletal injuries and conditions. Our studio team are ensuring complete high grade sanitisation of props and equipment that will only be single person use for each session, and ensuring social distancing. The staff and studio have had no connection to the COVID-19 at this time.

    As per the government health guidelines we will not allow access to our services if you answer “yes” to any of the below:

    Have you been overseas in the last 14 days?
    Have you been in contact with anyone who tested positive for COVID-19 in the last 14 days?
    Do you have a dry cough, shortness of breath, fever or sore throat?
    If answered yes to any of the above, please call the COVID-19 hotline on 1800 020 080.

    We ask patients who are at risk to please let us know before your appointment so we can discuss your position. This includes immune-suppressed, the elderly and those who have been in high-risk areas. We also ask that you call the clinic if you do develop COVID-19 or have come in contact with someone who has so we can act according to the government recommendations.

    For all treatments, our linen is being changed for every client and a wipe down of all equipment used. We ask that you remain in your car until your treatment time to minimise patient to patient contact in the waiting area. We also ask that you use ‘tap and go’ for your payment method rather than cash. Also we will not require you to sign your health fund slip to minimise cross use of pens between staff and patients. All our door handles and surfaces are regularly being cleaned during the day.

    We ask everyone who comes in for group therapy sessions.

    Bring a large towel and socks.
    Keep 1.5m distance between yourself and others.
    Wash your hands before and after the class.
    If you need to cough or sneeze, cover your face and wash or sanitise hands immediately.
    If you wish to wear gloves we have them available for you.
    Online and Telehealth will be an option in the very near future….watch this space.

    We are understanding of each and everyone’s individual position and we deeply care for your health and encourage everyone to take steps to keep strong and healthy at this time. Please feel free to call or email our staff to voice your concern and receive guidance. We are dedicated to informing you of our position and future movements in relation to Covid-19.

    Thank you for your cooperation and support.

    TLWS Management team.
