Dora Zhao Your Local Remedial Massage Therapist Canberra

Dora works with a wide range of soft tissue and sports-related conditions. She helps people manage chronic pain, recover from injuries, relieve muscle tension, improve mobility, and also provides relaxation and recovery-focused massage. She tailors her treatment to suit whether you’re coming in for high-performance support or just to unwind.

You’ll start with a conversation about your health history + what you’re looking to achieve (e.g. pain relief, improved movement, stress relief). Dora will assess areas of tightness or dysfunction, then apply the techniques most suited to you — which could include Swedish massage, remedial massage, sports massage, and sometimes elements of Traditional Chinese Massage (Tui Na) if it supports your treatment goals. She’ll also offer practical take-home advice (stretches or movement ideas) to help maintain progress between visits.

Yes — Dora is qualified in sports massage along with other modalities, so she is well-versed in the kind of recovery and performance work athletes need. She also adapts for different client needs whether that’s gentle massage or deeper work.

Her approach is calm, client-centred, evidence-informed and flexible. She believes every person is different — what works for one may not for another — so she aims to meet you where you’re at, restoring balance, improving quality of life and helping you move more freely and with less pain..

Dora practises at Step Into Health Care, 6 Lonsdale Street, Braddon, Canberra.
