Tim Webber Sports Therapist

Tim Webber – Sports Therapist

Tim found my way into sports therapy and massage through his work as a gymnastics coach. In an effort to improve his coaching, he started reading up on strength training, injury prevention and anatomy. This sparked an interest in learning more about how the body works and prompted Tim to study sports therapy.

Tim has a strong interest in injury prevention and believes that regular massage can help you get the most out of your time training or competing. Tim uses a range of soft-tissue techniques, including dry needling and cupping, along with educating clients to help them achieve their goals.

Testimonials

  • I began seeing Kerrie about 10 years ago for a genetic back condition and have never stopped! I have tried many masseurs over many years but have found Kerrie’s strong remedial massage to be the most effective of any. She is a valued and indispensable part of my successful back management plan.

    Frances Fabe

  • I first started seeing Tom at the start of August after some ongoing niggles I experienced through Basketball and getting back into jogging. His massage service & technique has helped immensely and I have since recently completed Around the Bay 2017, a 200km cycle ride, and the Melbourne Marathon, something I would have never thought possible just a few months before. Tom’s advice is second to none and I’d recommend anybody suffering from ongoing issues to get booked in!

    Erin Maulday

  • I first started working with Muscle Freedom after receiving a treatment with Sam and loved his approach to educating and treating clients. The Muscle Freedom vision of treating the root cause of pain and discomfort is a philosophy that really resonates with me and the team of therapists are so open and happy to bounce treatment ideas off each other, which is so refreshing! During my time working with Muscle Freedom, my hours have always been flexible with being able to take time off for maternity leave to now working around the needs of our family. I have loved working with the broad range of clients, from triathletes, ultra-marathon runners and road cyclists to office workers and retirees. Working Bayside brings a beautiful community sense to the clinic and it is common for us to not only treat clients but also families.

    Damien Finn, Remedial Massage Therapist

  • Thanks Sam for getting me in shape for my 10,000km journey. Never felt better. You are a rare gem!

    Claire Weatherly

  • My first remedial massage was in 1994 and I have received monthly remedial massages ever since. This was my best massage ever! Very sad that I live so far away (California).

    Valerie Green

  • I have had many massages before but this was by far the best. Sam went above and beyond the standard requirements by providing me with advice on how to overcome my muscle pains after my massage.

    Sam (London)

  • Truly knowledgeable and thorough. Sam is an absolute pro, asking for feedback and explaining all my aches and pains really clearly. Very friendly and welcoming members of staff who look after their customers. Very professional and peaceful environment. Everything I expected.

    Jonathan Ellis (London)

  • During 27 years of competitive cycling, running and multi-sport I’ve received remedial massages from dozens of masseurs all employing their own interpretations of studied techniques and practices. There aren’t many masseurs who possess the innate ability to accurately detect and EFFECTIVELY alleviate muscle tension to the same degree that Sam Noble does. Sam’s thorough work ethic, combined with his natural talent, provides excellent and consistent results; muscles restored to full power.

    John Kent

  • Sam is undeniably one of the best massage therapists you will ever experience. Look no further if you need someone who will work with you to rediscover all the capabilities of your body. Muscle Freedom says it all!

    Fiona Van Dalen

  • Sam was knowledgeable and got to the source of my back problem immediately. I would recommend him to anyone who suffers from back pain as he helped me to improve my posture by giving exercises out- along with massages. He constantly works to loosen my muscles.

    Mary Cooper

  • Both my partner and I compete in ironman triathlons and at times suffer from muscle soreness, in fact a lot of the time. Sam was recommended to us by a friend. We can honestly say he has helped with our muscle recovery. We are racing in New Zealand in 2 weeks and we are very grateful for Sam’s professional and knowledgeable understanding of an athletes woes. We highly recommend Sam.

    Rosie Spencer

  • Being a former professional road champion I’ve had many masseurs and remedial massages. Sam is the best – he knows his stuff. He helped me go from cycling to running my 1st sky marathon in just 10 weeks. Thanks Sam.
