Grant has a keen interest in health and vitality expressed through movement, dance and incidental daily exercise. He gets great satisfaction from working with clients to reduce their pain and increase their mobility.

Grant grew up in the temperate rainforests of the Dandenong Ranges. He lived and worked for many years in the heart of Melbourne, in knowledge industries across IT, teaching and media production. After a particularly gruelling study period designing video games, which left him nearly paralysed with muscle spasms, he realised he needed a radical change. Part of that change was moving to Bendigo.

Grant’s experience with bodywork began with an interest in Shiatsu. Wanting to work in a physically active role in healthcare, he formalised his knowledge in 2023 with the Diploma of Remedial Massage Therapy from Victoria University. There he learnt clinical assessment, sports massage, trigger point therapy, myofascial release, muscle activations and cupping.

Since graduating Grant has completed further studies in Craniofascial Release at the Australian Craniofascial Therapy School. Craniofascial therapy is a whole body modality for rebalancing strain and tension through gentle guiding of the body’s soft tissues back into left / right symmetry. Grant has continued to develop his skills while working across spa, clinic and mobile massage settings.

 

Grant is very excited to be working with The Osteo Team. Advice from an Osteopath had radically changed Grant’s life for the better years earlier, when he
was getting lower back pain from looking after young children and carrying them on his hip all the time.

Grant is looking forward to working with you, applying practical skills to help you reduce stress and tension and improve body awareness.
