Massage therapy and Giovanni’s journey.

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.

I cannot recommend Giovanni highly enough. He has been an incredible source of knowledge, support and professional care for my NDIS client, who was recently diagnosed with lymphoedema. My client has a profound intellectual disability, and Giovanni has demonstrated exceptional patience, compassion and understanding throughout her treatment. His gentle approach and outstanding communication skills have made a real difference in ensuring she feels comfortable and well cared for. Giovanni also went above and beyond by managing my client's SWEP application from start to finish to secure funding for custom-made compression bandages tailored to fit her legs. He has continued to provide support through follow-up appointments, ensuring the bandages are fitted correctly and taking the time to train our support staff in how to apply them properly. What truly sets Giovanni apart is his genuine commitment to his clients. He doesn't simply provide treatment and send you on your way; he follows up, monitors progress and ensures everyone involved in the client's care feels informed and supported. His knowledge, experience, professionalism and compassionate approach are second to none. It is reassuring to work with a therapist who genuinely cares about the wellbeing of his clients and goes the extra mile to achieve the best possible outcomes. Thank you, Giovanni, for the exceptional care and dedication you have shown my client. You are a true professional, and I would wholeheartedly recommend your services to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, compassionate and thorough therapist.

We highly recommend Giovanni from Melbourne Massage &Treatment Services for assisting with the Swep Application for compression stockings for my husband's Lymphoedema. He was friendly, knowledgeable and made the whole process easy. Thank you Giovanni. Diana & Sergio

Giovanni is a highly skilled and caring professional who helped me break down lumpy scar tissue. He is a true professional, I can’t recommend him enough! I no longer have any of those lumps! It was a daunting time for me yet he always made me feel at ease with his calm demeanour; and knowing his impressive qualifications and training/work background really helped too. The treatment plan was clearly laid out, he explained the science behind MLD and how it assists the body in reorganising tissue to become smooth again. Even though relaxation wasn’t a goal of the session, I always left feeling a lot more relaxed - the space, Giovanni’s demeanour and the practise has that effect. Knowing I was in great hands made me trust the process. Thank you so much Giovanni! Would also love to see you for exercise help at some point 😊

I can’t recommend Giovanni at Melbourne Massage and Treatment highly enough. I had been suffering debilitating shoulder pain for more than 12 months and had tried multiple therapies with little success. My doctor suggested I see Giovanni after hearing excellent feedback from other patients — and I’m so glad she did. After just one session, the shoulder pain that had been tormenting me for so long disappeared. Giovanni has an exceptional understanding of anatomy and biomechanics, and his ability to quickly identify and treat the root cause of a problem is impressive. He is also professional, personable and easy to be around. I was so impressed that I now attend regular fitness classes with him to improve my range of motion and strength. Highly recommended.

Success Story

Overcoming Chronic Back & Hip Pain

For the past year, I have worked with M., who had been struggling with back and hip pain for over 10 years despite trying various treatments. Through targeted massage therapy and tailored exercises, they experienced significant relief—especially in their back. Seeing their progress coming through after they had years of frustration has been incredibly rewarding!

Helping a Patient Achieve Recovery & Prevent Future Injuries

C. is a patient who presented with an injury, and via targeted treatment and practical advice, we managed to support their healing and prevented future issues. It’s always satisfactory to help patients not only recover but also build long-term resilience!

Comprehensive Care for Lasting Recovery

L. presented herself with a chronic shoulder injury, and thanks to a program of manual therapy, including Dry Needling and mobilisation, we quickly got their shoulder under control and kept old injuries in check. My goal is always to provide not just relief but long-term solutions for my clients’ well-being!

Frequently asked questions (FAQ)

About Melbourne Massage and Treatment services.

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.

No unfortunately is not. At the new clinic location in Coburg, on 325A Moreland Road, there is a step of about 14 cm at the entrance. I am looking into getting a ramp soon.
If you have any question, please feel free to contact me.

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.
