Remedial Massage Therapist/Acupuncturist

Wayne's passion for remedial massage and acupuncture is born from his own experience of sports injuries. Like many, he was desperate for relief from pain and injury. To his amazement, he discovered the powerful impact of proper muscular diagnosis, remedial massage, and acupuncture. Intrigued, he upended his career and kicked off his training over 25 years ago.

Ever since, Wayne has been helping people achieve their best health via diagnoses and treatments of muscular ailments through his mammoth skill set, including remedial massage, Chinese cupping, and acupuncture. With a wide range of clients, including professional athletes of all levels and people of all ages, from children to seniors, Cooley Health Clinic is a family-oriented business of which Wayne's twin daughters are a part.

Aside from his practice, Wayne enjoys running, cycling and swimming around Arana hills, and playing the guitar when he isn't busy attending to clients. He is a member of the Australian Natural Therapies Association, the country's largest association for traditional medicine and natural therapies in health care and preventative medicine practitioners.
