Usadha - Remedial Bodywork

17/12/2025

A lot of people think their nervous system needs fixing.
Or resetting.
Or overriding.

Most of the time, it doesn’t.

What looks like “dysregulation” is often a nervous system that has adapted to stress, pain, or unpredictability.

The work isn’t about forcing calm.
It’s about building enough safety and capacity that the body no longer needs to stay on high alert.

That kind of change is rarely dramatic.
But it’s durable.

Tension doesn’t always announce itself loudly.

The neck, shoulders, and lower back are common places the body holds strain, often long before pain shows up. Noticing these patterns is the first step toward change.

Your tension isn’t the villain.
It’s your body doing its best with the information it has.

Most tightness is simply patterning, that is, protective, learned, intelligent.
When we listen instead of override, the body softens on its own terms.

I don’t force your tissues.
I work with their logic.

Usadha isn’t a massage studio.
It’s a place where your body’s history, habits, and renewal meet.

Rooted in remedial training, somatic practice, and my Balinese lineage, Usadha works with the body as a whole system:
tension, pattern, and meaning intertwined.

Because what shows up on the table is never “just muscle.”
It’s conditioning.
It’s adaptation.
It’s everything your body has done to keep you safe.

My work focuses on helping you reclaim agency in your body — not through force, but through structure, breath, and awareness.
So the nervous system can reorganise, not simply relax.

Every session follows three guiding movements:

• Reorienting — returning the body to presence and safety
• Restoring — releasing conditioned patterns and mechanical strain
• Integrating — anchoring new agency so the changes stay

If traditional massage has ever felt shallow or incomplete, this is the depth your body has been asking for.

Welcome to Usadha — bodywork for people seeking clarity, honesty, and long-term change.

Hi, I’m Putu 👋

Over the past year, I’ve been on a journey of studying remedial massage therapy and exploring how bodywork can support not just the body, but also the mind and nervous system.

From that journey, Usadha was born.
Usadha is more than a massage service, it’s a space designed to help you slow down, reconnect, and feel safe in your own body. My approach blends the clinical foundations of remedial massage with a calm, nurturing experience that helps regulate stress and create lasting change.

I’m currently working with clients here in Adelaide and excited to share more about this path as it unfolds.

Follow along as I share this journey, and if you’d like to experience Usadha yourself, I’d love to hear from you.💆‍♂️🌿
