Lions Breath Wellness

Lions Breath Wellness is a Fitzroy, Melbourne practice centred on myotherapy, myofascial release and somatic work. Its approach looks at the relationship between fascia, posture, movement, breath and the nervous system, with sessions designed to support mobility, reduce tension and develop greater body awareness. The website describes myofascial release as hands-on therapy using pressure and stretching to address restrictions in the connective tissue surrounding muscles, bones and organs.

Myotherapy sessions include movement testing and reassessment, with a focus on identifying the contributing factors behind postural imbalances rather than treating posture in isolation. Somatic movement and re-education are used to help clients notice habitual tension and take a more active role in maintaining changes between sessions. Breathwork is also incorporated, including techniques intended to support grounding, diaphragm mobility, stress reduction and a stronger mind–body connection.

The practice also offers sports-focused manual therapy. Bradley Neate draws on a competitive sporting background and experience at a sports therapy clinic in Vancouver, alongside training in active myofascial release, integrative dry needling, kinesio taping, therapeutic exercise programming and contemporary pain-management strategies. This makes the service relevant to people managing a sports injury, recovering movement after injury, dealing with chronic tension or looking for tailored guidance around mobility and performance. The website also positions the work as suitable for people seeking general wellness and more ease in everyday movement.

Bradley is the founder of Lions Breath Wellness and creator of Dynamic Myofascial Mobilisation, an approach combining myofascial release, somatic therapy and myotherapy. He has more than 15 years’ experience in manual therapy and has studied craniosacral therapy, total body balancing, breathwork and yoga, as well as teaching myofascial release, sports therapy, somatic awareness and anatomy and physiology. Alongside client sessions, the Fitzroy practice offers DMM training for practitioners and somatic education opportunities.

The Brunswick Street centre is described by a client testimonial as welcoming, with natural light. Lions Breath Wellness is best suited to solo visitors seeking a considered bodywork or movement session, athletes wanting sports-oriented support, and practitioners interested in somatic and myofascial training. It is not presented as a social venue or family activity, but as a quiet, appointment-based setting for individual wellbeing and professional development. The business has a 5.0 Google rating from 31 reviews.
