About Liam

Liam Stanley | Sports and Remedial Massage Therapist

London-born Melbourne local and obsessed with the science of movement

With a Bachelor in Sports Therapy from the University College Birmingham (UK) and a career spent in the inner circles of AFL and professional soccer clubs, I provide elite-level sports massage and remedial massage in Melbourne (South Yarra, Bentleigh East, and Hampton) for athletes and active professionals.

I’ve seen firsthand what it takes to keep an elite body at its peak, and I translate those high-performance locker room techniques into targeted manual therapy. Having navigated my own injury setbacks, my approach is clinical, compassionate and respectful. Whether you are a recreational or professional athlete or a desk-bound professional, I believe you deserve a body that moves without limits.

Outside the clinic, I’m a lifelong Spurs fan and a footballer at heart. Currently, I’m a beginner golfer on a quest to conquer the best public golf courses in Australia (though my swing remains a work in progress!).

TREATMENTS

Explore the range of treatments designed to help athletes and active professionals recover better.

  • Dynamic. Functional. Result-Oriented.

    Designed to support a faster and better recovery by decreasing muscle soreness and optimising mobility through increased blood flow in the muscles. A combination of deep tissue, stretching and trigger point therapy are adapted for pre-event preparation, post-event recovery or managing high training loads.

  • Diagnostic. Thorough. Corrective.

    A clinical style of massage that assesses and treats specific muscles, tendons, and ligaments to relieve persistent pain, restore function and aid recovery caused by an injury, recurring “niggles” or postural strain from long hours at a desk. It’s tailored to the individual’s condition and often used alongside rehabilitation.

  • Not your typical corporate chair massage, what I offer is an elite-level sports massage recovery station across metropolitan Melbourne ideal for:

    1. EVENTS: On brand, modern setup and the kind that gets everyone talking, elevating your guests’ brand experience.

    2. SPORTS TEAMS: Flexible setup, tailored treatments and organised scheduling, I work with AFL, A-leagues and professional sports teams for their pre-game warm-up, post-match recovery or game day sidelines.

  • An ancient practice that uses suction to gently lift the fascia upwards and away from the muscle to relieve tightness and tension, improve blood flow to support the body's natural healing and help reduce inflammation helping you move better.

  • A proven technique to limit unwanted movements. Taping helps in managing or preventing injuries, reduce discomfort and speeds up healing.

Liam was professional, knowledgeable, and took the time to understand what I needed. The treatment was thorough and targeted exactly the right areas. I left feeling much looser. Will be back.”

“I had a shoulder and neck treatment done by Liam. I had a bit of a tight neck a few weeks ago that was feeling good after a chiropractor treatment 2 weeks ago, and Liam did his magic with his sport massage and fixed it completely. Left feeling super refreshed and ready to get back to training at my full capacity.


Liam’s a great guy and good conversation through the treatment. Highly recommend to get you back to feeling 100%.”
