Fred Levan expands Massage Land into Tamworth health hub

From sports massage to multidisciplinary healthcare: The growth of Massage Land in Tamworth

This is branded content for Massage Land.. When Fred Levan arrived in Australia from Iran in 2017, he had a vision of building a career in healthcare and making a positive difference in people's lives.. After completing his Advanced Diploma of Myotherapy in Australia, he moved from Sydney to Tamworth, where he established Massage Land in 2020..

What started as a small business focused on sports massage and personalised treatment has gradually grown into a multidisciplinary wellness and healthcare centre, offering a wide range of services to support pain management, mobility, recovery and long-term health.. From the beginning, Fred believed that effective treatment should go beyond providing temporary relief.. Massage Land was built around the idea of understanding each client's individual needs, identifying contributing factors to pain and discomfort, and helping people achieve better long-term outcomes..

Over the years, the clinic has expanded its services to include remedial massage, myotherapy, sports massage, physiotherapy, naturopathy, lymphatic drainage, red light therapy and recovery treatments.. "Our goal has always been to offer more than just massage," Fred said.. "We want people to have access to different healthcare professionals and treatment options in one place, making it easier for them to manage their health and wellbeing." One of Fred's proudest achievements has been building and developing his team..

Massage Land has grown to a team of nearly 12 people, including experienced therapists and healthcare professionals.. Fred believes that investing in staff development is just as important as investing in new services and technology.. "Some of our team members came from completely different industries, with no previous experience in massage therapy..

"Today, they are among our senior therapists, with advanced clinical skills and extensive hands-on experience.. "I'm incredibly proud of how far they've come and what they've achieved," Fred said.. The clinic continues to support professional development, mentoring and ongoing clinical education, creating opportunities for local people to build long-term careers in the healthcare industry..

Like many regional businesses, Massage Land has faced challenges in recruiting qualified healthcare professionals.. Fred believes that attracting and retaining skilled practitioners in regional areas requires a different approach, including professional development opportunities, flexible working arrangements and a supportive workplace.. To help address these challenges, Massage Land has also introduced telehealth physiotherapy services, allowing clients to access experienced physiotherapists through video consultations..

These services are particularly valuable for people living in rural and remote communities who may otherwise face long travel distances or limited access to healthcare professionals.. "We know that accessing healthcare can be challenging in regional Australia.. "By combining technology with our local hands-on services, we can help more people receive the care they need without always having to travel to larger cities," Fred said..

As Massage Land continues to grow, Fred is investing in new treatment technologies and recovery services.. The clinic has introduced red light therapy and compression therapy, alongside its existing hands-on treatments, as part of a broader focus on recovery, rehabilitation and wellbeing.. The aim is to create an environment where clients can access complementary services based on their individual needs, with appropriate guidance from qualified practitioners..

Fred has ambitious plans for the future of Massage Land, including expanding its multidisciplinary healthcare services, developing its recovery facilities and continuing to improve access to healthcare in regional communities.. A significant part of his long-term vision is to rebrand Massage Land, potentially in 2027, to better reflect how much the business has evolved.. "When I started Massage Land in 2020, it was just me, mainly offering sports massage..

"Today, we've grown into something much bigger, with a team of healthcare professionals offering a wide range of treatments and services.. "We've moved well beyond what people traditionally expect from a massage clinic, and I believe our brand should reflect who we are today and where we're heading," Fred said.. His long-term goal is to create an integrated healthcare and wellness destination that serves not only Tamworth but also surrounding regional communities..

Despite the business's growth, Fred says its core values remain unchanged.. "Massage Land started with a simple idea:. to genuinely help people feel better and move better..

As we grow, I want to keep that personal connection with our clients while continuing to improve the quality and range of services we offer."
