There are two options: the 90min Ultimate and the 45min Tune-Up. Each has its own specific purpose and neither should be chosen based solely on cost or time. Wayne works a full 40+ hour week across six days to accommodate most client lifestyles, so availability is rarely the issue...

The Ultimate

The Ultimate is exactly what it sounds like. It is what all first-time clients need, as the 90 minutes are spent gathering background data on you, your body and your goals moving forward. This is followed by extensive hands-on work aimed at increasing your functional range of motion, while educating you on findings and hypotheses regarding what comes next.

For clients who simply need a more in-depth session, this is also the ideal choice, as more time means more hands-on treatment. Wayne has heavy hands and some clients prefer his more conventional massage style over his standard Tune-Up style. This option gives you the space to bounce ideas, techniques and approaches off Wayne to see what works best. With 20 years of experience across high-level sport, Wayne has a long history of making real progress with clients where conventional therapies have previously found limitations.

The Tune-Up

The Tune-Up is a 45-minute session designed to support your ongoing maintenance journey. It relies on you taking responsibility for your own functional mobility, with Wayne there to fine-tune anything that improves your movement going forward.

This approach only works if personal accountability is established. Wayne cannot take ownership of your body for you. Quick fixes are historically unobtainable and often increase your risk of injury. Expecting a single session to resolve years of movement patterns is like winning the lottery and expecting it to fix a lifetime of poor financial habits. Wayne is a guide, a resource and a tool in your self-care arsenal. While the 45-minute session is lower in cost and easier to fit around full-time work, it is called a Tune-Up for a reason, not a "low-cost treatment that will fix every symptom in a single visit." At the end of the day, your body mechanic is only as committed to your progress as you are.
