Pivotal Massage

01/06/2026

That end of day headache building from your neck? It's not just stress.

Tight suboccipital muscles, upper traps, and levator scapulae refer pain directly into the head. It's one of the most common conditions we treat at Pivotal massage, and one of the most resolvable.

Phil has 34+ years of experience treating Canberra's public sector workforce. Dry needling, remedial massage, trigger point therapy — tailored to what your body actually needs.

If your shoulders are up by your ears by 3pm, that's not normal. That's your body asking for help. 🙋

Pivotal Massage is a 5-minute walk from Marcus Clarke Street, tucked into the Health and Wellbeing Centre at ANU Acton.

We fix the patterns that desk work creates — tight traps, stiff thoracic spine, wrist and forearm tension from keyboard use.

Congratulations to Oceania and her team. Need to note that a para athlete, Sarah Larcombe from Melbourne, did win a world championship in 2022 at Salt Lake City. Amazing climbing from the Aussies.

Oceania Mackenzie claimed her first, and Australia's first, World Climbing Series gold as she won the women’s Boulder competition in Bern.

Surely it’s the bounce in the new track.

𝐐𝐮𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐛𝐞𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐀𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐚.

Questions are being raised about the times in the Australian 200m final after a night of staggering performances that have the athletics world talking.

The data from the race shows an unprecedented surge in speed, with the top seven finishers all clocking new Personal Bests. Most notably, the top five athletes all improved their PRs by 0.20 seconds or more, a massive margin at this level of elite sprinting.

Leading the charge was Gout Gout, who dropped a sensational 19.67, shaving 0.35 off his previous best. Aidan Murphy followed with the biggest improvement of the night, slicing 0.53 off his PB to finish in 19.88.

While the results are a testament to the incredible talent on the track, the sheer volume of massive breakthroughs in a single race has sparked intense debate among fans and analysts alike.

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐍𝐮𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫𝐬:

Gout Gout: 19.67 (-0.35 PR)

Aidan Murphy: 19.88 (-0.53 PR)

Calab Law: 20.21 (-0.21 PR)

Christopher Ius: 20.26 (-0.29 PR)

Archer McHugh: 20.37 (-0.48 PR)

Was it the perfect track, a favorable tailwind, or are we simply witnessing a new era of Australian sprinting?
