After embarking upon a new fitness regime a friend suggested I consider having regular massages to assist with muscle recovery. I took this advice and now three years since my initial visit to Jackie’s Massage Therapy I enjoy a deep tissue sports massage several times a month. I have found all of Jackie’s team to be friendly, professional and provide a consistent massage of the highest standards.

As an elite athlete I have my fair share of massages and get to experience a large number of masseuse’s !!! So the fact that I have been going to Jackie for over 7 years is testimony in itself. She is a consummate professional, always reliable and always smiling. Specifically though she understands the physiology behind the various muscles, she responds to feedback, can work specifically on and around injuries as necessary.

I have been going to Jackie’s sport massage regularly for the last 3 years. I am keen marathon runner and typically run 100km a week when preparing for a marathon. When I design my marathon program, I make sure I’ve included regular massages from Jackie’s. I believe the deep tissue massage that I get regularly at Jackie’s assists with my recovery and also prevents injury. I can highly recommend all the girls that work in her clinic.

As a personal trainer, my daily schedule is very physically demanding. I need to maintain a high level of strength, fitness, and endurance, and am continuously pushing my body to its limit and beyond, over and over again. With these physical demands comes obvious wear and tear, as well as the occasional injury. Thankfully I have Jackie and her team of smiling assassins!! I have had many massages in my life.

My weekly training program, which includes weight training sessions in the gym, and a substantial amount of time on the water, would not be possible without the ‘maintenance’ that your team provide. I have learnt over many years, often through injury, that you must match the maintenance with the output if you want to be successful in achieving your sporting goals. There is nothing more frustrating than being unable to train.

I’ve been using Jackies Sports Massage for the past 10 months and I can’t recommend them highly enough. I’m a full time professional contemporary dancer with the Sydney Dance Company and I definitely NEED the releasing benefits of the deep tissue massages that I receive with every treatment I have at Jackies. I’ve never left there without feeling completely rejuvenated and ready to use my body to its extremes again.

I have been a client of Jackie Schmidt for some four years now. I remember when she started her business in a single room on level three of the building at 185 Elizabeth Street. She now occupies a large suite with several rooms and has a vibrant, thriving business. Jackie is quite simply the best massage therapist I have ever been too. I never go anywhere else unless of course I am interstate or overseas.

I have been going for regular massage (every fortnight) at Jackies Sports Massage for a year now. Prior to finding Jackies, I have tried many massages, but none have had as lasting and profound effect on my well-being. Like everyone I first complained of stress in my shoulders and back, however unlike the previous massages, this stress was dispensed with rapidly in about 4 sessions.
