DO Massage & Personal Training, located in Adamstown, is owned and operated by Graeme O'Neill, also known as Doogs. With a passion for sports and fitness from a young age, Doogs has experienced his fair share of sports injuries and back issues due to heavy lifting while working as a carpenter. These personal experiences and the road to recovery have fueled Doogs' passion for combining personal training and remedial massage to help his clients achieve their best results.
Having spent a considerable amount of time learning from some of the best personal trainers, chiropractors, remedial massage therapists, and exercise physiologists in Newcastle and Sydney, Doogs has honed his skills to a high level. He believes in continuous learning and constantly seeks to expand his knowledge to better serve his clients. Doogs places great emphasis on educating his clients and teaching them how to manage their health and movement patterns effectively.
Remedial massage offered at DO Massage & Personal Training focuses on reducing muscle, tendon, ligament, joint, and fascial tension throughout the body, allowing clients to enjoy a higher quality of life. Sports massage, on the other hand, targets improving movement patterns specific to a particular sport or for individuals with physically demanding lifestyles or hobbies. Doogs also uses remedial massage as an assessment tool to identify functional and dysfunctional movement patterns in clients. It serves as an excellent starting point before embarking on a personal training programme as it provides a comprehensive understanding of the client's current condition and the most effective approach to achieving their goals.
Doogs firmly believes in the four pillars of exercise: stability, strength, aerobic efficiency, and anaerobic performance. He places particular importance on stability, starting with correct loading of the feet and proprioception, which is the awareness of the body's position and movement. By improving feet proprioception through activities like barefoot training, massage release techniques, and joint mobilisation, Doogs helps his clients build a strong foundation for improved stability. Strength, aerobic efficiency, and anaerobic performance also play vital roles in overall fitness, and Doogs ensures that his clients are strong in all aspects of exercise.
Investing time in improving one's health span on any level is a rewarding endeavour, and Doogs is dedicated to guiding and assisting others on their fitness journey. With a combination of remedial massage, personal training, and his extensive knowledge of sports and healthy activities, Doogs is committed to helping his clients achieve their goals and live a more active and fulfilling life.
