We aim to trace back to where and when the clients starting having the pain concerns, through caring thorough treatments we can achieve and maintain comfort and relief.
After Care
- Drink plenty of good quality water, water helps to flush the body of toxins released from the hypertonic (tight) muscles. Recommeded daily intake is approx 3.7Litres (www.eatforhealth.gov.au/)

About Travis
My background is in farming, retail, and heavy machinery (Trucks, Excavators, Scrap Metal etc). With having been involved with these types of industries I have seen and understand the stresses that the body goes through, sitting in a truck or machine for extended periods of time. Lifting heavy objects and not always with the best techniques, because you just have to get the job done. This all having a toll on the body with long term effects.
I have a passion for dirt bikes, Martial arts and Hiking. I love to get out early morning and go for a ride in the bush, it has a great way of destressing and grounding you for the week ahead.
I have been in the health and wellness industry for roughly 5 years as Co-Owner of Jack Willows Health and Wellness Centre. I was introducted to the industry by my wife, Lorelle.

How to Maintain Your Results
Drink Plenty of Water
Most of us these days don’t drink enough water. By increaseing your intake of water after a treatment it will help to flush the body of toxins released from the muscles during the massage.
Stay Active
Keep active, this can be exercise, yoga, pilates, strecthing or many other physical activites. By keeping active it helps the body to stay strong and increases the chance of fighting off disease and viruses. Stretching is great way to keep the body flexiable and maintain range of motion for our joints. By moving through physical activity the Lymph system is keep active which helps to remove waste from our bodies maintaining a homostasis (balance in the body).
