amazing results. I had 2 yers of shoulder and neck pain and tried chrio, massage, acupuncture, this only provided temporary relief. Darryl pin pointed where I needed support, In just one session. I no longer have chronic neck or shoulder pain. Highly recommend Sync!

I’ve been seeing Daryl at Sync Therapy in Victoria and couldn’t be happier with the care I’ve received. Daryl is incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and genuinely cares about his clients. His approach is holistic — not just focused on treating the symptoms but understanding the root causes of my pain and mobility issues. After just a few sessions, I noticed significant improvement in my chronic shoulder pain. He listens carefully, provides personalized treatment, and always offers practical advice and exercises to support my recovery between visits. The clinic environment is welcoming and professional, making each visit a positive experience. Highly recommend Daryl and Sync Therapy if you want effective, compassionate therapy that really works!

Pleasantly surprised. Honestly I didn’t know what I was in for. I found Daryl through a web-search for a deep tissue massage in my area. I walked into his office in a fair bit of pain. I have had chronic hip and lower back pain since late in my pregnancy. My kiddo just turned 2. I have tried a number of healing modalities and none came close to the kind of instant relief I experienced today. I walked out of that office feeling nearly all my pain gone and my body feeling relaxed and aligned. The treatment was very gentle and targeted my problem areas. Daryl was kind and professional and I felt at ease. I would confidently recommend his services to a friend and I will definitely be booking again. 5 enthusiast stars ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Daryl was knowledgeable and helpful. After my first session and his home routine, my wrist and knee pain improved significantly. Highly recommend for athletic therapy.

I cannot recommend Darryl enough!! After years of seeing specialists, surgeons, and osteopaths, he was the one who finally relieved my knee pain of 4+ years—in just two sessions with visceral manipulation. Darryl is not only incredibly knowledgeable but also warm, approachable, and highly professional. I tell everyone to go to him!!

Performance & Recovery FAQ
Answers to common questions about sports massage.
When should I get a massage: Before or After an event?
Pre-Event: 2-3 days before to prime muscles (not too deep). Post-Event: 24-48 hours after to flush waste and reduce soreness. Immediately after can sometimes be too intense.
Is this different from Athletic Therapy?
Yes. Sports Massage focuses on tissue health, recovery, and maintenance. Athletic Therapy is a distinct profession focused on acute injury assessment, field care, and rehabilitation.
Do you treat non-athletes?
Absolutely. If you have an active job or lifestyle, 'Sports Massage' is simply a focused, results-driven treatment style.
Complementary At-Home Therapies
Deep tissue work releases mechanical restrictions, but true tissue recovery continues long after you leave the treatment table. While flushing the muscles is critical, incorporating hydrogen water for athletic recovery can help neutralize the metabolic byproducts released during intense sessions. This dual approach ensures your sport-specific massage translates into tangibly better performance tomorrow.
