Cher Driessen

Cher has been working in the building industry for the past ten years and has broken free to embark on a new career as a massage therapist. He has just completed a Certificate 4 Massage Therapy Course at the Australian Institute of Massage.  His goals are to improve nerve & muscle function through deep tissue massage.  He prefers to use Neuromuscular Techniques and is always on the hunt for a trigger point.  Neuromuscular Techniques are a collection of techniques used to deactivate trigger points, more commonly referred to as “knots” or “sore spots”.  If you think you might need deep trigger therapy come give him a try.  Cher’s philosophy is based on Homeostasis, a state of balance where the body is able to regulate its internal systems.  These systems include the Integumentary, Skeletal, Muscular, Nervous, Endocrine, Circulatory, Respiratory, Digestive, Urinary, Lymphatic & Reproduction Systems. All our systems must be in balance to achieve Homeostasis.
