PROFESSIONAL THERAPIEST
Awa has treated a various clients with ages from as young as 6 weeks and as old as 94 years old, and with injuries and symptoms including sports injuries, frozen shoulder, cerebral palsy, tennis elbow, arthritis, Parkinson’s disease, and stroke. In her practice she combines elements of traditional Chinese medicine and Western remedial therapy, along with treatments she has developed out of her own experience.
A fundamental concept in traditional Chinese Medicine is ‘qi’. This can be translated as the idea of ‘vital energy’ or ‘life force’. According to traditional Chinese Medicine an even distribution of qi is essential for good health.
Manipulation involves twisting the neck or back to the end of range. it’s often accompanied by a pop or click which is the result of the release of pressure in the joint
Acupressure relaxes the muscles and rebalances the qi and blood, and so clears blockages in the body.
Cupping can promote blood circulation, stimulate vitality, regulate blood chemistry, and stimulate the body’s immune system.
Moxibustion is an important method for the prevention and treatment of a variety of illnesses.
Awa has exceptional skill coupled with a genuine desire to help and fix the underlying issues that someone has. Awa has a very detailed mind map of the body and a deep understanding of the interplay within the body, so uses her knowledge to integrate a very holistic approach to remedy a problem. I have been diagnosed by specialists in Melbourne with Peripheral Neuropathy and have been very dependent on a walking stick, due to a lack of muscle co-ordination and suffering with a severe balance problem. I have been going to Awa for treatment for 6 weeks and have experienced a reduced reliance on the walking stick and some restoration of balance, for which I am very grateful to Awa, and the patience she has.

So here I am 53 years old...wondering how I do this, my body feels like 83. Inflammation, knee, hip and lower back pain. All those old sports injuries (and desk jobs), finally caught up with me. I tried some treatments like basic massage, hand massage, physiotherapy and yes some of them helped but it was short lived and I didn't really get the results I expected. Then I met Awa! ! ! Omg, what a gift she has. After my first visit, I knew I was on the right path to my recovery. It's like she's "turning on" my body again and making everything move, it feels like it should. I'm really amazed at all the other benefits I've seen...I didn't even think about it (and didn't even think about it). I don't know if I would describe her as having a unique talent, with magical powers, or if she would practice some kind of witchcraft...but whatever it is...it works! Thanks Awa. You are wonderful. Kind Regards, Brett.

"With a recommendation from a family member I have been a client of Awa Tan’s for well over 5 years – first coming to relieve arthritic pain I had in finger and toe joints. After regular fortnightly visits I soon stopped taking medication for arthritic symptoms as my circulation had improved and no sign of redness or pain. Later Awa noticed a lump in my upper spine which after getting x-rayed found that also to be the start of arthritis. At the same time I often suffered from sciatic nerve pain but this also disappeared with regular 6 weekly visits. I show my friends my improvement and say to them my treatment with Awa is now “medical maintenance”. The deep massage is a pleasure now I have no extra injuries which have been few - as Awa’s treatment keeps me healthy. I also suffer left eye only macular degeneration and I am feeling confident my right eye will stay health with Awa releasing any tension I may have and keeping my circulation flowing."

"I have walked in to see Awa doubled over, bent up and in agony. One hour spent with Awa has me straight and pain free. Do not go anywhere else."

"I initially came to you wearing a wrist support and sling for my right arm and elbow having previously received a diagnosis of RSI and tennis elbow. I was able to discard the sling and wrist support after my first treatment with you. However, you could see I had some other issues which I had accepted as normal for me until you subsequently remedied them and I discovered how much better I felt. In a nutshell, I no longer need or use a chiropractor, austiopath or sports masseuse. A short statement mmm forget all the others, Awa gets it fixed faster. Thanks for all the help you have provided to me and my family."

"Thank you for your very professional treatment of my shoulders and back. Until your treatment I was in continuous pain. I couldn’t move my arms above the level of my shoulders and after your treatment I had complete freedom of movement. When I lifted my arms I expected pain and there was none."
