Just finished an awesome 2 hour massage session with Dale. 6 star, 11/10, top shelf awesome. Dale is the real deal. An outstanding masseur who’s clearly had impeccable training. He uses an extensive range of modalities and is attentive to all muscle groups with an expert level of knowledge of anatomy. It is a definite plus that Dale is also a PT and Pilates instructor. Appointments are easy to arrange; his apartment is conveniently located and easy to find. The massage room is soothing and really well appointed. If you have 60, 90 or even 120 mins to put to good use, a massage with Dale should top your list. I’ll be back (regularly) for sure! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Genuine professional. Loved the massage and the follow up - great experience and can recommend!
My massage experience was absolutely amazing. Dale has the most unique technique. He is easy on the eyes. His place was beautiful and clean. I felt really relaxed. Thanks so much for this wonderful experience Dale.
A great man, a great masseur, and a great experience. Within five minutes, I knew he would give a good massage; he found sore spots immediately, and knew how to work them. I was floating all through the massage, from the first moment through the terrific end. Dale is friendly and open, with no attitude. And he looks even better than his photos.
(I could easily just stare at him all day; he has a great body, so the massage was almost a bonus!) He said he has a lot of regulars, and I intend to become one of them. Highly recommended.
My first visit to see Dale for a 90 min remedial massage was amazing. He was professional and asked me right from the start if I have any injuries before. I told him I got some ongoing issue with my left shoulder and also some stiff neck due to long working hours in front of the computer. I was so surprised he made quite a difference to those areas immediately after the massage. My left shoulder pain had eased up and felt less painful, and my neck had softened up dramatically. He obviously has great technique and really get into the massage all the way through. I was very happy and felt really satisfied with the entire session. I will definitely line up another session with Dale next week. I would highly recommend him to anyone.
Dale is an incredible massage therapist. His understanding of the body and his intuitive touch make him one of the best therapists I have ever seen. Will definitely be going back to him again soon!
Dale’s an awesome masseur with incredible technical knowledge and skills. The session was both invigorating and blissful. He’s relaxed and easy company. Highly recommended!
I was nervous about coming but manhandler ensured it was a great space.
Once on the table, the touch was amazing. He’s very experienced. It was a great massage and money well spent! I’ll be back.
In a class of his own, I can only describe Dale’s attitude, technique and sensitivity as pure magic. I left feeling reinvigorated, rejuvenated, sexy and blissful. Highly recommended.
Dale is one of the best masseurs I've experienced. After several massages of all types I know he can be incredibly strong and firm. He understands the male body and what it needs.
Dale is a master masseuse! His vast experience and professionalism is evident across the whole experience - from the clear and detailed instructions to the massage itself. I could tell within minutes of the massage that this man knows what he’s doing and he does it very well. Puts you at ease, creates a comfortable environment and really knows how to get into those problem areas. Highly recommended and can’t wait to go again! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Attractive, intuitive, strong and very easy to get along with. He will find all the pressure points causing you issue, relax your muscles, put your mind (and nerves in my case) at ease so you can enjoy the experience from beginning to end. Will definitely try and work in another session on my next trip to Sydney, and recommend to anyone who might be considering an appointment to give him a go. Dale, I can't thank you enough... today was exactly what I needed.
Attended a massage recently with Manhandler and was extremely impressed with his professionalism and knowledge of the human body and muscle groups.
I informed him of a previous bad experience from this website and he guaranteed that he would exceed my expectations. He did!!
I informed him of my issues and areas that needed attention and he focused on these areas for me and made me feel comfortable while he proceeded.
I left feel vibrant and pain free. Not one moment was awkward. He left my body fully aligned.
The follow up call to ensure my satisfaction evidenced this man’s intentions and professionalism.
I would throughly recommend and definitely utilise his service for future issues.
Thank you.
Dale is THE BEST.
Deep and strong. My body leaves exhilarated and rejuvenated.
I am pretty well addicted :)

Yesterday,I had a very good massage with Dale
I went to him with a multiple muscle contracture on my back which caused me pain during day but mostly in the night.
With his professional and his techniques,he put me on track again and I will thank you him so much for that.
I would like to thank him also for the welcome I had,I felt like we were friends for long time.You have a gold hands,I was very relaxed and the time flew.
I will definitely recommend him as well as I will be back to him if I needed.
Thank you Dale
I had a massage recently and it was definitely one of best I ever had. The technique and pressure were absolutely on the spot. I felt like a new man after the massage. Highly recommend Dale to anyone.
I saw Dale for the first time this week for remedial massage. He is clear and responsive in communication. His workspace is impeccably clean. He is an understated and kind Gentleman. He politely ascertained my sore spots and the sort of massage I wanted. He has a thorough and strong technique and checks on pressure as he moves through. If you prefer to be quiet during massage he doesn’t expect chat. Most importantly he brings a calming and gentle energy to the space which allowed me to completely relax, release, and let him work his magic. He intuitively reads the body and gives it what it needs. He melted my knots and I floated home. Highly recommended.
I had the most amazing experience with Dale. I felt totally connected to both him and the experience which was completely a testament to his professionalism and technique. His strength resonated through his bodywork as I received a full body massage, head to toe, back and front. His skill is exceptional. A beautiful man, an absolute charmer, kind and friendly. Has a deep, calm voice that shows his manly character.
There is definitely something special about this man. I can't wait to book anther session.
First visit with Dale, hopefully the beginning of many. He made me feel welcomed and at ease right away. Place is impeccably clean and comfortable. Dale quickly identified my (many) knots and areas of tension, and, with his strong hands and amazing dexterity, addressed each one of them with just the right pressure. Genuinely a Super nice guy who certainly knows how to take care of another guy. I sensed the care throughout the massage and my body was so thankful afterwards! Will definitely be back again soon.
5 STARS !!!
Dale truly provides a massage that is incredible. As an intuitive masseur who has amazing hands and does a thorough job, he is extremely centered and grounded in what he does. Dale provides the right combination of moderate to deep amounts of pressure. He competently keeps in tune with your breathing as he uses a variety of techniques. Dale is the real deal and is by far a welcoming and calming individual who enjoys what he does; making you feel very special while you are with him. He brings you to a relaxing place like no other. Don't miss out on 90 minutes of true relaxation. I will be sure and visit Dale again.
Thanks again for an incredible job; you are indeed a hidden gem!
Dale is a professional and caring remedial massage expert! A session with him is a great way to end a busy, stressful week. He is intuitive, noticing subtle cues to manage pressure and changes in posture. He has incredible technique and strength, he can find your sore spots and take them on. His techniques smooth out tight muscles leaving you relaxed and recharged, he has definitely worked a miracle on my lower back and shoulders! And his space is a clean, comfortable and stress free setting with quality equipment and fresh towels. He has done wonders for me and would highly recommend a visit. Thank you Dale!
Really great massage, will definitely be back!
From beginning to end Dale gives you a complete, wholesome massage experience. Booking was easy and his location is accessible, clean and welcoming. Skilled and intuitive, strong and nurturing and highly professional, Dale understands the body and knows where to put the right amount of pressure and focus. He sure knows how to work the lower back! He can address a problem and alleviate it straight away and his application of various techniques is incredibly therapeutic, with a firm touch and of course relaxing. Highly recommend and encourage anyone wanting great technique, professionalism and results to make a booking with him. Guaranteed you will feel revived right after and you will get the best sleep. I know I did! Thank you Dale.
Just an expert and total professional. Accommodated my short notice change of plan with chill and helpfulness. Genuine bloke with quiet, understated and considerate style and strong, manipulation of problem points to best effect. Really tuned into what I wanted and just did it. Affable character full of compassion and insights. Thanks Dale. Will be back soon.
Best masseur hands down!
Intuitive, thorough, knowledgeable and a master with his hands. Also good on the eye :)
Worth every cent. I’m now a regular! Great guy
MANHANDLER really is the best. I had a truely lovely, relaxed massage and the intensity was perfect. Great for any type of session you are looking for.... Thanks MANHANDLER, Loved it.... see you again really soon!
I have a session couple weeks ago and the session was great. Good technique and strength. I was arrived little early and Dale is flexible let my booking start early. Highly recommended!
As a someone who is new to massages Dale walked me through the steps, he put me at ease and I felt amazing afterwards as he could really get in and massage deeply and firmly but also with a gentle touch. I had a chance to unwind and relax from my busy and stressful life, my body and soul feels restored, nourished, and unraveled. The ambiance was warm and away from the cold windy outside. Dale is ultra friendly, engaging, and experienced.
Booked Dale on Gold Coast. It was late and he was leaving the next day, but he was happy to visit. Dale gave an amazing massage .I slept well and felt great the next day as well. His technique was gentle and relaxing, even without asking he seem to know what was needed. Will book again but longer next time, 1 hour went so quickly.
Great massage from a knowledgeable strong talanted guy. I went with a particular problem area and he sorted it out. Highly recommend booking in for a massage !!
I came to Dale feeling tired and distressed. We had discussed my—ouch!—needs, and with consummate professionalism he both accommodated and replaced them with something much better. He has the gift of intuition, and I very warmly recommend him. You need to follow, though, also. It’s a two-way street. But I’ll definitely go back.
Initially booked in for 1hr, but soon extended it twice because it was one of the massages I've ever had.
Technique is fantastic. Booked in for a deep tissue, and it was both firm and targeted. Felt like a new man afterwards. Ambience was nice, great massage, fantastic guy and easy on the eyes too, which made it even better!
My first visit to see Dale for a 2 hrs therapeutic and deep tissue massage. He was very professional and courteous. His massage technique was unique and very effective. He checked and care about the pressure he applied throughout the massage session. He definitely untied all those knots and tight spots on my lower back and neck. I was feeling totally relaxed and unwind. I will definitely be one of his regular client. Highly recommended.
