Uschi Staedel-Schneider

Melbourne’s most sought after remedial massage therapist.

Meet Uschi.

As a German champion gymnast Uschi developed early on in her career an intrinsic understanding of the human body and the way different parts of it work together. This led her to a career as a physical educator and from there it was only a short step to becoming a massage therapist.

Uschi studied a number of different body therapies. Remedial massage, Exercise for Rehabilitation, CranioSacral Therapy (Upledger) a gentle, non-invasive manipulative technique which acts on the deepest structures and organs of the nervous system, and Myofascial Meridians with Thomas W. Myers (Anatomy trains).

In 2006 she became a Dorn Spinal therapist. This gave her the final string to her bow of treatments to serve her clients in the best possible way.

The Dorn Method is a safe and gentle form of spinal mobilisation that facilitates the realignment of the spine and peripheral joints. Most clients experience immediate pain relief after their first treatment.

With nearly twenty years of practice, Uschi’s strength lies in her ability to give an intuitive like diagnostic which is rooted in an anatomic analysis of your body.

Her treatment is tailored to what you need at this particular point in time. It includes more than just a remedial massage as she provides you with the tools to prevent harmful posture which can lead to misalignment of the spine and this in turn is the cause of many health problems.

In line with Uschi’s philosophy about empowering her clients to take charge of their own health, she uses a range of self-help techniques and exercises for you to take home and use regularly. As well as using Dorn Spinal Therapy to engage in these self-help strategies, Uschi has also undertaken extensive training in L&B Pain Therapy. This modality uses osteopressure points to reduce pain and tension, and Uschi uses these techniques in session, as well as providing exercises for you to practice at home.

Uschi’s passion is to help you help yourself and to improve your wellbeing!
