I have been visiting Body Align Myotherapy Clifton Hill for remedial massage with Morgen over the past few months.Morgen is an amazing masseuse, she listens to your concerns and addresses specific areas that you would like her to pay attention to, is always professional kind and caring. Over the years I have had many massages but Morgen is one of the best and would highly recommend her. The space is quite calming and relaxing, all staff are professional and courteous.

I've been seeing Morgen for a while now for my back pain and she not only is the nicest person ever but she works absolute magic on my sore and broken body. I always leave feeling a million dollars and I'll never go anywhere else. She knows what's she's doing and she's a genuinely lovely human. Highly recommend!

Lynette is able to build a rapport with her clients whilst providing clear guidance and instructions. I was most impressed by her client outreach when I had not visited for a period of time, she really cares about her clients.I highly recommend Lynette as a Myotherapist, she has been great for working through multiple different physical issues whilst providing encouragement and support in building my mental resilience.Thank you Lynette!

Rebecca is so amazing - I’ve had ongoing back pain which she treats with care and excellent precision. In the times when I’ve had flare ups, Rebecca has treated it so well and I walk away with significant less or no pain at all. I always feel so much better physically and mentally, as Rebecca always creates a lovely and calm space for her clients. The best physician i’ve ever seen for muscular pain!

Lynette is an amazing therapist. She always finds the spots and one of the things that often surprises me is that I’ll go in thinking I have one problem but she works out that it’s actually something else. 100% recommend her!

I can’t recommend Lynette Saunders highly enough. She is an excellent clinician-really thorough in her assessments and highly skilled in her treatments. She always gets to the source of the issue and provides the best treatment option. So glad she’s back!

Came into see Lynette from a referral form a friend. Prior to seeing Lynette I had tried everything to fix my hip problem and nothing was really working and I was limping when walking. She had me fixed up within 1-2 months and I’m now visiting regularly for maintenance. Would highly recommend Lynette

A simply beautiful environment, I booked in to see Lauren for a deep tissue massage and came out a new person! Not only are Lauren’s skills exceptional she has an extremely wonderful bedside manner and I felt comfortable enough to enter a deep state of relax. She gave me advice afterwards on how to help my shoulder in between treatments and nothing was too much trouble for her. A truly wonderful experience that I recommend to anyone.

I visited Body Align last week after experiencing severe headaches for a month, I had an appointment with Kym and she got straight to the source of my pain after asking me a few questions. Not only did I leave feeling so much better, my headaches have quickly eased and the exercises she advised me to do have helped so much! Kym is amazing and extremely knowledgeable, I’m so grateful I went to see her. The clinic is also gorgeous and a relaxing environment and very private.

Lynette is the best Myo practitioner from whom I’ve ever received treatment. (I’m old-ish and high-maintenance, so I know!) She is skilled, focussed, sensitive, and effective. And that's aside from it being delightful to spend an hour with her.

Abby and the team at Body Align are amazing. I first saw Abby when I was pregnant and suffering from debilitating back pain, she relieved me of this and many other aches and pains pre and post pregnancy. Her care and quality of treatment are second to none. I could not recommend their service more.

Ashlee HaylesBody Align Myotherapist,Queens Parade, Clifton HillI have been a client of Ashlee for approximately three years and I cannot speak highly enough of her knowledge and professionalism when it comes to freeing restricted joints, assisting with postural alignment and repairing all those soft tissue niggles you experience when you are deskbound.As soon as you enter the clinic, you are welcomed by friendly staff, a lovely cup of herbal tea and soothing music. It’s my favourite time of the working week for sure.Ashlee takes the time to assess your body and its restrictions before launching into one of the best treatments I have experienced and believe you me, I have tried Chiropractors, Physiotherapists, Osteopathists and Massage and you always get instant relief at the conclusion of each session and ultimately improvement leading to recovery.From Migraine, tight neck and shoulders, thoracic spine, lower back, hip flexor issues etc. Ashlee always find “the spots” using deep tissue trigger point work, massage, cupping and/or dry needling.She seeks constant feedback during sessions and sends you away with exercises or stretches that compliment her treatments. I apologise that I don’t always do these due to being a busy working mum.My weekly migraines stemming from poor posture and screen work 8 hours per day have all but diminished.I owe this to Ashlee’s therapy.So, do yourself a favour and visit Ashlee. I promise you won’t have any regrets.I visit all year round because I love and benefit from the treatments and I am grateful that they are not pushy when it comes to making future appointments.

I started seeing Amy in the last few weeks of my pregnancy. I was experiencing many typical pregnancy related ailments such as headaches, lower back pain, sciatica, swelling in my legs and hands. At the beginning of each session, Amy was brilliant and would always ask me how I was going and what felt sore before expertly making some suggestions about how massage could make me feel more comfortable. The clinic is clean and calm, with all of the expected equipment, including a pregnancy pillow, which allowed me to lie face-down to receive treatment (which I adored doing), and relaxing music in the background. After each treatment, I immediately felt better, leaving the clinic relieved of the headache or many of the aches I arrived with. I had massages with Amy on a weekly basis up to, and after, the birth of my daughter. I would highly recommend BodyAlign Myotherapy and Massage.

I've been seeing Carissa and her team at Body Align for frozen shoulders (mainly) since 2009. Carissa is brilliant - knows exactly what's required to relieve pain and reduce recovery time what ever the condition. The clinic is very well run, always efficient with time and availability. I have complete confidence in all the practitioners.
