I have had problems with my back, especially my upper back for many years. I had been previously treated by other massage therapists and only ever had short term relief. The cause of the problem was still unfixed. I was in a large amount of pain when I first started to see Laurie and quite fed up that my pain could not be addressed. Laurie spent time assessing me and was able to get to the cause of the problem rather than providing a band-aid solution. I have been extremely happy with the care and treatment I have received from Laurie and have no hesitation in recommending him to prospective customers.

I have been seeing Laurie for a couple of years now and as I say to everyone who I refer to him "he fixes me every time". As a 41 year old who is addicted to long distance running and is rather accident prone (you know the people who trip over air? That's me) - I love that I can go to Laurie no matter what the issue or how hard it is to explain and he figures out what is causing the problem before he starts treatment. He knows his stuff and that makes a huge difference. If there is ever anything he believes needs to be reviewed or treated by a different professional; he does not hesitate to ensure he makes appropriate enquiries or referrals. I've been to many difference services over the years including physio, chiro, acupuncture and other remedial massage providers and none have been as effective long term. I trust Laurie to always do what is in my best interest to manage all my weird and wonderful injuries or ailments.

Fibromyalgia is a challenging syndrome to treat but Muscle Tone have improved my quality of life. Laurie Fawkner has experience, but what really impressed me is his tenacity to continually learn more about my illness to relieve my pain and muscle tension.

As Illawarra Masters Hockey Director, I had the gratifying privilege of engaging the services of Laurie Fawkner, as the Association Representative Teams, Massage Therapist. His period of employ spanned ten years and incurred the welfare of Veteran/Masters Hockey Players with age groups extending from 0/35 to 0/65. Laurie`s knowledge and ability to assess and treat players was exceptional. For injuries beyond his scope of practice, he did not hesitate in referring players to either the team Physiotherapist, or Doctor, as he deemed necessary. His knowledge of biomechanics, anatomy, and injury management, was appreciated by all who had dealing with him. As a player for Illawarra, NSW, and Australian Masters Hockey, I also felt fortunate, confident, and secure, in having Laurie`s caring expertise on hand if required. Laurie was always approachable, and his willingness to liaise with team Coaches and Managers was something that was much appreciated by all. From our association over the years, I have gained the greatest respect, and hold Laurie in the highest esteem.I am more than proud to call Laurie a very close, and dear friend.
