Michael Campbell
Diploma of Massage Therapy Practice and Training (CIT and Om Shanti College)
Professional Member of Massage Australia
Sports Trainer – Sports Medicine Australia
Michael’s interest in massage therapy began while watching his son participate in junior-level rugby. He became aware of the general lack of qualified assistance at games such as pre-game strapping, first-aid and follow up post-game recovery support.
Michael began by assisting with player strapping and from there, gained certification in Sports Medicine before moving deeper into providing sports massage for athletes. Michael is an accredited Sports Trainer, has a Diploma of Massage Therapy and has undertaken further practitioner courses that have allowed him to further develop his skills and techniques. Today, this allows Michael to provide you with a holistic approach to massage treatment.
For the last 12 years Michael has worked as a Sports Trainer with the Vikings Group and Canberra Football Club supporting their players. He has been providing massage treatment in the Canberra region for 10 years.
