Justin Taylor offers tailored remedial massage therapy from his private studio in Ranelagh, just beyond Franklin.
Justin’s not a faceless clinic therapist–he’s a local, born in Franklin and raised on the Tasman, and his studio in Ranelagh brings that homegrown care to life. He’s been practising since 2011, so he knows bodies–and stories–aren’t one-size-fits-all. Every session is bespoke, shaped by your symptoms, history, and goals.
He starts with remedial massage to understand your physical patterns. That might involve careful assessment of posture and movement, followed by hands-on work using deep tissue, trigger point, myofascial techniques, or cupping where needed. It’s therapeutic without being brutal–more thoughtful than forceful.
Justin’s also skilled in helping with ongoing, layered pain–like fibromyalgia, postural strain, or recurring injuries. His chronic pain approach is gentle and collaborative, focusing on paced healing rather than quick fixes. For visitors who crave maintenance or stress relief rather than treatment, his wellness massage is soothing yet targeted to what your body needs that day .
Mums-to-be are in safe hands too–his pregnancy massage is designed for comfort, circulation, and calm in a supportive, trimester-appropriate way. And if your trip includes walks, canoeing, or just a fair bit of sitting, he offers sports & recovery massages that help muscles recover, loosen up, and stay mobile .
Justin offers all of this in a quiet, private studio that feels intentional–not clinical. It’s not a rushed fix; it’s steady, local care for real bodies doing real things. Great fit for anyone passing through Franklin wanting to reset before–or after–a day of exploring.
