SLM Bodywork (Steve Lockhart Myotherapy) is an advanced form of myotherapy and structural bodywork focused on fascia, muscle tension, alignment, movement, and chronic tension patterns throughout the body.
Since 2008, Tess Moss has used this whole-body approach to help clients release deep muscular and fascial restrictions, improve alignment, and restore more balanced movement.
Treatment combines full-body deep tissue massage, acupressure, and fascia release, with a focus on identifying the underlying imbalance and compensation patterns contributing to pain, restriction, and dysfunction rather than simply treating the area where symptoms are being felt.
Every session is approached as a whole-body treatment because the body functions as an interconnected movement system. Tightness, weakness, injury, posture, and compensation in one area can influence movement and tension elsewhere in the body.
The body also continually adapts to physical stress, injury, movement habits, lifestyle, and emotional tension. Over time, these adaptations can contribute to restriction, altered movement patterns, and recurring tension. Treatment, therefore, looks beyond the immediate symptom to understand how the body is functioning as a whole.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Too bad there aren’t 10 stars for Tess. In just one session, you can tell that she is an expert, and she knows what she is doing. No soft stuff! Goes really hard with precision to all the points of the muscles that need it the most. I was wasting my money on a chiropractor, but now I am investing in body mechanics, and it works! Great value for money, non-stop pressure, and excellent quality massage. Can’t wait for my next session, Good on ya Tess, you are a legend!"
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "I have been massaged by Tess two times now, for some really tight muscles and ongoing pain from an injury that I haven’t been able to shake. After only two sessions, the pain has decreased almost completely. She is a genius in her field, she is kind and professional, and I highly recommend. I have seen many people for this injury, and she is the first person who has managed to treat it and relieve the pain."
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "My partner & I have been having treatments with Tess for a while now. She is absolutely amazing at what she does. Tess presents well, arrives on time, and is full of knowledge in all areas of the body and what is happening to it with your aches and pains. Tess has educated us about certain things that can help us understand how our bodies respond to life. As I’ve aged, my body is finding it harder to release. Whenever I have a deep massage with Tess, she never misses finding the tight places. She continues to amaze me in how my body responds to her & the type of massage she does. I would highly recommend Tess as your Massage Therapist."
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Tess is an amazing therapist. I'm 3 sessions in and feeling such a change in my body. Pain and stiffness have almost gone, and I am moving so much better. My posture has improved, too. I'm looking forward to my next session."
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Tess is awesome! I’ve had neck and back problems for ages, went and saw a chiro and Physio and they didn’t work. First session after seeing Tess, I felt a million bucks! Highly recommend"
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "I want to say thank you to Tess. She is helping me so much after I wasted so much time and money between chiropractors and physiotherapists. I have had lower back pain and sciatica for more than a year, and just after 3 sessions with Tess, the pain is almost gone, and I’m feeling I can finally get my life back on track. Thank you!!!!!!!!"
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "I’ve been having massages from Tess over the last year, and I have been feeling enormous changes in my body. The pressure is a lot deeper than other treatments I have experienced, and it has changed the whole structure of my body. I am 80 years old and have had many massages over my lifetime, but nothing quite as good as Tess treatments. I highly recommend her!"
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Tess was recommended to me by a close friend who spoke very highly of her treatments. I had been suffering from chronic neck and back pain for years without any meaningful relief, so I had nothing to lose. I have now had four treatments with Tess and have progressively seen significant improvement and relief from my pain, and feel better than I have in many years. I cannot recommend Tess highly enough. Her professionalism and knowledge are the best I have experienced from a therapist in many years. I will be back! "
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "I found my Massage with Tess the Therapist at Body Mechanic Myotherapy to be Excellent. She was very professional and very Skilled and I highly recommend her. She seemed to know exactly where my problem areas were through what she was feeling with her fingers. She was able to release muscle tension that the various Chiropractors, Osteopaths and masseuses couldn't help me with."
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Great massage!!!! All my aches and pains have been so much better since Tess has been helping me. Her method of massage is truly keeping my body in Check for my hairdressing, and for my dance career, 💯 worth a try!"
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Tess is fantastic! We are so glad we found her. Both my husband & I could not speak more highly of Tess’s professional approach and her total dedication/focus to improving her clients well-being."
