    Kenji Tamura Sensei

         Kenji is by nature, a quiet and reserved man, but this is what his clients have to say about him.

"Reason I went to Kenji was having had years of stress, along with adapting to huge changes in my life including loss and grief. I finally came to a stop, mentally, physically and spiritually. I needed help. 

Fortunately I met Kenji who through gentle manipulation and massage, relaxed loosened up my joints, realigned my spine and destressed and re-vitalized my body and mind.

I felt retuned and rebooted and fully alive. I found Kenji to be honourable and uniquely talented and gifted in his chosen profession.
I would not hesitate to return to Kenji for further treatment, when needed."

"I have been to Kenji three times now. The first time I had a bad lower back and hip. For ages the pain stayed away from my lower back and hip and all these other muscles in my neck seemed to twang back into to place. The last visit I made was for my shoulders. I could hardly lift my arm, after painting the house ready for sale. The very next day after seeing Kenji my shoulders felt so much better and I can lift my arm much farther without nearly as much pain. I have been to other remedial massage and also Bowen therapy and chiropractors. I have found that Kenji's SEI TAI massage has worked the best for me. Thank you Kenji"

"I had significant pain in my neck and shoulders after neurosurgery and had been to various practitioners without success. Kenji's massage, and the exercises he gave me to do at home, have improved the situation to the point where I now rarely have pain. I love the gentleness of the massage, but also that it's effective. Thanks Kenji!"

-John H, Red Hill

"Many thanks Kenji for keeping my sport suffering body in tune. I highly recommend anyone who has tried other methods of massage without success to give Kenji a go. the only thing you loose are your aches and pains."

-David M, Red Hill

"I did not know of Seitai before I met Kenji. I presented myself to him with a complicated medical history including post-surgical restrictions to the chest and right arm and an unrelated chronic neck and lower back condition for which I regularly see an Osteopath. Not knowing what to expect, I found the Seitai technique to be very gentle, relaxing and effective in reducing discomfort and tightness in my body. What’s more, each treatment left me feeling refreshed with a subtle sense of lightness and increased energy. Subsequently, I learned Seitai activates the natural healing power of the body quite differently than usual muscle massage. Kenji is a gifted practitioner and a sensitive and honourable man. I will miss his treatments when he moves from WA to Queensland in 2014."
