Christine O'Connor
Senior Myotherapist / Remedial Therapist
Myotherapy, Remedial, Sports, Therapeutic, Dry Needling and Cupping
Christine has 22 years experience as a Soft Tissue Therapist. This has been spread working in clinical environments and also with a wide variety of teams – cycling in all disciplines, swimming, diving, triathlon, football, athletics and AWD to name a few.

All of that then culminated with being selected for three Olympics to provide support for the Australian Medical team – Sydney, Beijing and London.
Christine comes to us after being at her own practice in Perth, WA for 5 years. This was a considered undertaking after being at the AIS for 3 years. It meant she returned to work with clients that had a variety of needs including referrals for specific soft tissue therapy, pregnancy, weekend warriors, elite athletes, postural and general massage.
The move to Melbourne for Christine, happened in December 2016. Melbourne is a new, exciting chapter in Christine's life, closer to family and includes a return to study.
Christine has an individualised, problem-solving approach to massage, for both clinical therapy and more general or sports massage.
Christine says “I am looking forward to working at SeddonTherapies and being part of the team. My strengths are primarily in sports and therapeutic/remedial massage. I believe that whatever the client wants is the most important outcome to achieve. I consider myself very lucky as I love my job!”
Christine is available for appointments on Tuesdays, Fridays and Saturdays and is registered with Massage and Myotherapy Australia.
