A new approach to health care, Mr McCusker said Australian Therapy (AT) is the first natural therapy to be developed using modern science and was developed to speed up the body's ability to repair itself.

AT uses a modern anatomy and physiology approach to get muscles to return to their correct length, rather than traditional massage techniques.

"The first thing people notice after an AT treatment is the improvement in posture," Mr McCusker said.

"The second thing is that aches and pains have gone, and they feel looser and freer.

"People also notice they can breathe deeper and feel calm and relaxed.

"The improvement in posture has more health and wellbeing benefits than most people realise."

Mr McCusker said Bathurst has been important in the development of Australian Therapy; his mum June Ryan has been a client for over 20 years.

Mrs Ryan (84) still works two to five days a week at Bakers Delight Bathurst.

"I'm a good example of what Robert can do. I was offered my first permanent position at the age of 83" Mrs Ryan said.

Bill Denmead from Bathurst Auto Glass also tried AT.

"Before I saw Robert all I thought about was retiring and that maybe I had another year or two left in me.

"Now I am busier than ever and feel 20 years younger. I can ride my bike and mow the lawns without any pain."

Mr McCusker said anyone wanting to find out about AT can call him on 0477 272 778.
