Charissa Halton

Remedial Massage Therapist

I am a Qualified Remedial Massage Therapist and Personal Trainer, with experience as a Trainer and Assessor for the Diploma of Remedial Massage. My passion lies in injury rehabilitation, movement efficiency, and enhancing sporting performance. I strive to empower my clients with the knowledge of their bodies, enabling them to maintain healthy function and achieve freedom in pain-free movement, ultimately allowing them to get the most out of life.

In my spare time, I frequent my local CrossFit gym, focusing on my own fitness goals and building physical strength. I also have a deep appreciation for trail running, which provides a connection to nature, and I find joy and exhilaration in surfing. Additionally, I relish the simple pleasure of enjoying a good cup of coffee and dancing the night away to music with friends.

 
 
 
 

Testimonials.

  • Connie Smith

    “Both my son and I see Charissa on a regular basis. She has helped my son tremendously after discovering he had juvenile arthritis and terrible posture. Within a year the transformation was amazing. Between the remedial massages and aftercare programs we are both feeling all the better for it. I would recommend 100% to see Charissa.”

  • Darren Brady

    “Charissa is by far the best remedial therapist I have had. I've had back issues for years and she is the first therapist that has worked with me on a targeted plan that not only addresses the issues but also on the causes and how to rectify them. She uses a good range of techniques including deep tissue, facia release, dry needling, cupping and her knowledge and professionalism is second to none. I can really feel the benefits from our sessions and my back is feeling a lot stronger and more stable from the work she is doing. I highly recommend Charissa and Ascend Remedial Therapy.”
