Giovanni first travelled to Australia in 2008, where he developed a strong connection with the country, particularly Melbourne. In June 2017, he solidified this bond by becoming an Australian citizen. His professional journey began in 2016 when he studied a Certificate IV in Massage Therapy at SSNT – Fitzroy. While this was a step toward his interests in Thai Massage, Remedial Massage, and Myotherapy, Giovanni soon realised that hands-on treatment alone wasn’t enough—he wanted to explore deeper ways to help people. This led him to further studies, including advanced training in Thai Massage and meditation with master Pichest Boonthumme in Thailand in 2018, 2019, and 2022.
However, Giovanni’s expertise extends far beyond massage. He holds a Bachelor in Health Science, Clinical Myotherapy from Torrens University, Melbourne. His approach goes beyond manual therapy—he prioritises movement and exercise as the foundation of long-term recovery and well-being. Every session is designed not just to relieve pain but to equip clients with tailored exercises that enhance joint mobility, joint stability, and muscle strength and resilience. Giovanni believes that while massage can provide relief, it is the exercises given at the end of each session that truly empower clients to sustain their progress and improve their overall health.

Yes! You can claim your services on the spot. If you forgot your card, you could still claim the massage with a digital copy of the receipt.
Yes, I work on Saturdays (10 am—6 pm), but not on Sundays.
It depends. If you are experiencing a specific pain only after your sports activity or gym session, then yes, it would be good for you to do so we can assess what the actual issue is, as your body needs to be loaded to experience the discomfort. On the other hand, loading the body before a treatment already puts your tissue into an inflammatory state and could make the treatment less effective as you may experience pain and discomfort with any external stimulation.
Yes, it is. There is a ramp at the street level and elevator to reach the clinic, which is on level 1/175 Holden Street, Fitzroy North.
Yes, the clinic toilets are wheelchair accessible.
Yes, I do accept cash, just be mindful to turn up with the right amount as I may don't have change on me all the time.
Yes, they are. Exercises, most often, are the real way to get out of pain and take control of your presentation.
At Melbourne Massage and Treatment, there is a 24-hour cancellation policy. If you cancel your appointment before 24 hours, you will not be charged. Cancellations within less than 24 hours are charged 50%. If you have any questions, you are welcome to contact me privately.
Pain post-injury can last 24 h to 72 h. That's the inflammatory response timing. If the pain does not settle past the 72 hours, then is good to come to see me, and we can assess the presentation. That said, if during the initial 72 h the pain, is above your 7/10 pain scale (0= no pain / 10 = worst pain ever), you may want to come and see me asap, or even seek medical advice from your GP, especially if the skin is damaged, or presenting discolouration.
If you are heading for a surgery, it would be best to do some MLD before the surgery, and definitely after the surgery. Most important that either before or after no sign of infections are present. So the post-surgery MLD session, is safer to do it after you finish the antibiotic cure.
YES Please! Any medication you have been taking, including dosage and frequency (daily, weekly, or occasionally), is a must-have information for us therapists.
The injury recovery time is multi-factorial, and we can only look at estimations based on scientific research and data and can't give a set date. That said, a soft tissue injury, like a muscle tear, can take 8 to 12 weeks to recover fully, whereas tendinopathy or ligament injuries can go from 3 months to 1 year for a full recovery; it depends on the severity of the presentation again and other factors. You are welcome to ask for more information about it via a Treatment Plan free consultation. Book it now.
