Katie Palmer is a massage therapist and myotherapist based in Oakleigh, VIC. She works from Level 1, 32 Chester Street, Oakleigh VIC 3166. If you’ve been feeling stiff, sore, or “tight in the wrong places,” Katie’s appointments are set up to help you feel more comfortable and move better.
Katie’s work includes relaxing massage, deep tissue massage, trigger point therapy, myofascial release, and sports massage. Different people come in for different reasons. Some want a calmer body after a busy week. Others need hands-on help for more focused pain, tight bands, or sore spots that keep coming back.
Myotherapy is especially helpful when muscles feel like they’re holding onto tension. At times this can show up as aching through the back, neck, hips, shoulders, or legs. Katie looks at how the area feels and what your body is doing day to day, then chooses a massage approach that fits the problem you’re bringing in.
Trigger point therapy is useful when there are specific points in a muscle that feel tender or cause referred discomfort. Deep tissue massage can also help where deeper layers feel tight. Myofascial release is used to work with the “web” of tissue around muscles, which can feel restricted after long periods of sitting, workouts, or everyday stress.
For athletes and active people, sports massage can support training and recovery. That might mean easing muscle soreness after a big session, helping with niggles, or getting your body back to a better baseline so you can keep moving safely.
Katie’s education and training focuses on massage therapy and myotherapy techniques, including hands-on work for muscle and soft tissue comfort. The goal is usually simple: help you feel better, not overwhelmed. Treatments are often tailored based on what you’re dealing with and how your body responds during the session.
Overall, Katie Palmer offers practical, grounded care for common muscle complaints—tightness, discomfort, and stress-related tension—using a mix of relaxing and deeper therapies when needed. If you’re not sure what type of massage suits you, it’s okay to start with what you’re feeling, and Katie will help you figure out the best next step.
