Mick Dikanovic – Our Master of Sports Massage

Mick is passionate about sport having  played volleyball professionally until sustaining a career ending injury. He began working alongside physiotherapists and chiropractors where he gained vast experience relating to healing injuries and realised his passion for massage therapy and the undeniable benefits of such treatment. Upon his move to Australia, Mick completed his Cert IV in Massage Therapies (2009) and then his Diploma of Remedial Massage (2015) at the Australian College of Massage (also known as Evolve).

Mick has gained vast experience in providing massage services and now specialises in remedial and deep tissue therapies, whilst also doing sports and relaxation massage. Mick’s treatment often incorporates cupping which has proven to be quite effective in combination with massage. While Mick can treat any part of the body, if you are specifically experiencing upper back, neck and shoulder pain, headaches, stress or stomach issues, Mick would be the ideal therapist for you.

UQ Bullsharks Rugby season finishes

This year we were a proud sponsor of QU Bullsharks Rugby Club.  Our two sports trainers Meg and Natasha did a great job providing support for the teams on Saturday’s and Sunday’s at their home games. Our trainers were on hand for any injuries that occurred during the games. Our physios helped off the field in assisting injured players get back onto the field as soon as possible.  UQ Bullsharks had a great season with a number of teams making the finals. The Under 13s ended up taking out the premiership!! As the season has come to an end, we were glad to be a gold sponsor for this fantastic local community club.
