Hypnotherapy

If you can perceive it, you can achieve it. That’s our mantra and it’s something we’ve seen proven time and again thanks to the clarity and focus achieved in a sports hypnotherapy session.

After nearly a decade of offering hypnotherapy to aspiring, semi-pro and professional athletes we’ve seen firsthand the powerful impact it can have. If you’re struggling to extract your maximum potential, or if you’ve seen your performance decay, a sports hypnotherapy session might be exactly what you need.

Massage and Stretch

Real and lasting performance gains can be achieved through the hands of an experienced therapist, but it’s not a one size fits all approach at Peak Performance Therapies. Our clients receive the advice and service they need to address their physical concerns and achieve their performance goals.

PPT offers three massage and stretch therapies: therapeutic massage, deep tissue massage, and fascial stretch therapy.

My very first session of FST definitely surprised me. It was magic! My mobility improved, it helped my nervous system relax, it made me feel realigned and without a doubt, helped me recover after big training weeks. I felt reenergised and the best part about it - long lasting effects! You’ve got to feel it to believe it.

John is phenomenal. I came to him being unfocused, unmotivated and a little bit unsure what this could do for me but at that point anything was worth trying. When I had my first appointment with him I was a bit nervous but five minutes into the appointment I never felt so comfortable. His approach to everything is amazing, even before being hypnotised he made me feel the most motivated I have been in months, I couldn’t wait to get back in the pool and swim when usually it’s a struggle. When it came to being hypnotised, I woke up and just felt motivated and so incredibly focused on making myself a better swimmer. I realised that John has got me back on track which I couldn’t even do myself. After my first appointment everything changed, my attitude towards not only swimming but everything! I was such a negative person and he helped me become positive.
My performance was 100% better in swimming training and also land based training. I was continually getting personal bests and didn’t lose motivation once. My second session was even better! I wrote down things I wanted to work on and once the session was finished and I was back at training it improved again! I immediately had confidence in myself and that showed through in my performance at racing. The next meet, 4/5 races I improved on and the only race in didn’t improve on was only 0.05 over my personal best. I highly recommend John for anyone! He has changed my attitude to everything completely. He’s a miracle worker!

People have this idea of hypnosis being this magical trancelike state where you might even do something against your will. This could not be further from the truth. John and I actually went through a whole process. Firstly we discussed the workings of the mind and how we could use that to our advantage. Then we had to clearly define a desired outcome. That could be anything from a specific goal to a certain mindset or a particular behaviour. The actual hypnosis was used more so as a tool, some sort of feedback mechanism to make sure the new mental program is rooted deeply in the subconscious. What I got out of the hypnosis sessions was a laser point focus on specific football related things and beyond football I rid myself of some fairly self-sabotaging thoughts and behaviours and gained a more positive outlook on life in general.” – Thomas Broich “2 time Johnny Warren Medalist” – Hyundai A-league Player of the year.
