I have been having massage therapy for years and by far, this is the best massage I have ever experienced! A fabulous team headed capably by Rick, efficient, hospitable and professional. I feel like a new woman each time I come out from a massage, it helps me on so many levels. Migranes have virtually gone away. Highly recommned!

Sara is an amazing massage therapist. Have been going to her regularly for remedial massage for over a year now. I've tried a bunch of different massage therapists in my time, and she's the best I've been to. Highly recommend.

I was lucky enough to find some of Carole’s free time for a massage yesterday. Went in with back and neck stiffness and after even one lovely session, the old back is less stiff and sore. Carole was lovely from start to finish. Highly recommend!

Severe back pain. I could barely walk and was in extreme pain, now after two sessions with Rick, I am walking around with minimal discomfort (I'm never pain free at my best). I highly recommend Rick's massage service. Btw the room is heated and the guy is a brilliant conversationalist.

My Hot Stone Aromatherapy Massage with Carole was extraordinary. She is extremely talented. I have had many massages in my life - both therapeutic and relaxing massages. This was both. I highly recommend you try it! Can't wait for another treatment.

I’ve booked my first session after suffering from sciatica and other chronic pain. Due to my past experiences with massages only helping short term, yet desperate for relief I was sceptical that one appointment would be enough to get rid of sciatica. I’m so glad I’ve been proven wrong and I’m now becoming a regular.Rick not only knows how to provide an outstanding service, but he’s always welcoming, calm, and kind. Lucky to have him at our doorstep. Thank you Rick.

I’ve been seeing Rick very regularly for years now. His remedial massage skills are incredible and always skilfully alleviate muscle soreness, knots and pain. He’s such a kind person too. Couldn’t recommend highly enough!

Highly recommend Knots in Knead (Rick), great massages to release muscles from sports or work related tightness.

I've been seeing Rick for a 6 months now and highly recommend him for a remedial or sports massage. He tailors the massage to your needs and has the ability to identify knots you aren't even aware of. You'll leaving feeling relaxed with improved mobility.

No checking of health history before start, no communication during the session. Only got 50min of massage for an hour booking.

Rick has been in the area for a number of years and my only regret is I didn't visit sooner. I went there for the first time a couple weeks ago and I will be coming back. I've been in the area for a number of years and have tried most of the remedial massage therapists in the lower north shore.

I had a severe lower back pain (I think I have done a wrong move during my exercise) and it was so painful that I couldn't even bend or stand straight and I couldn't have a good sleep. I was so annoyed that I will have to miss few pole classes until I get it fixed.Rick is such an amazing massage therapist! He listens to you carefully and focuses on the right spots.After just one session it was like magic! My back felt more loose and mobile and I have done couple of classes after with all the heavy moves going upside down!I would definitely recommend a visit for a deep tissue massage! Thanks a lot Rick!

I have seen Rick during my pregnancy and post pregnancy and he is amazing always.He listens to my issues(esp severe lower backpain and stiff shoulders)very patiently and make sure, I walk out relaxed and painfree.

I'd been suffering from severly stiff neck and shoulders and chose to see Rick for the first time. I can't reccommend him highly enough!! Rick's expertise was obvious within the first few minutes and by the half way mark I was very happy to realise I had stumbled across an outstanding therapist and would no longer need to suffer any muscle soreness or stiffness! The distance between discomfort and bliss is covered by Rick!

Doesn't matter where I move or where I go. No remedial place compares to Knots and Kneads- My problem areas are my shoulders, back and neck. I always leave feeling like a whole new person; never still in pain or feeling worse (before it gets better).I would highly recommend this to my family and friends, Rick is very, very good!

After having a problem with my lower back for a few weeks, I decided to find somewhere to get a deep tissue massage. I came across Knots in Knead in my local area and decided to book a spot. The space is clean and relaxing but more importantly Rick is a great masseuse, strong and focused where i needed it most. I left feeling more loose and mobile in my back and shoulders. I would definitely recommend a visit for a deep tissue massage. Thanks Rick.

I took the plunge to try a new massage therapist for my sciatica which I've struggled with for 3.5 months. After reading the positive reviews on here about Rick's massages I bit the bullet and had a 1 hour remedial treatment. It was the first bit of relief I've had in months that wasn't from pain medication. I would not hesitate to recommend Rick from Knots in Knead. The percussion massage to finish the session was a nice touch. The practice is warm, clean and inviting and Rick is professional, friendly and a skilled therapist. Cheers mate!

Went to see Rick as I had extreme chronic upper back pain and sciatica pain developing around my hip. This guy would, hands down be the best masseuse I've seen.
