“I’ve had the pleasure over the last couple of years to be treated by the team at Roz Sports. Whether it’s playing for Queensland, the Melbourne Storm or even in the off season - Roz’s team is always on hand. Their attention to detail and ability to listen and give feedback throughout a session is what I like most. If it’s pre-game loosening up the hamstrings to get me going, or after the game backing off the pressure and working around banged up areas, so I’m ready for the next session or game. If you’re lucky enough to jump on the great Roz’ table herself, you’re in for a treat. Thank me later!”

“Roz is the actual best! Training 18-25hrs per week on top of a day job at the desk takes its toll on the body and I would be absolutely lost without the care of Roz and her team. Her knowledge and expertise is next level and she goes above and beyond to help wherever possible. I honestly couldn't have got to the start line of Ironman World Champs without her. With a couple of niggles along the way in my build up, she was my absolute savior. Not only at treating them, but with the daily follow up and advice, she genuinely cares about her clients. Roz played a massive part in my build to becoming an age group Ironman World Champion.”

“The service that was provided from Roz Sports as a whole was the best I’ve dealt with to date. Even now when I’m home I can call on them at the drop of a hat and they comply with making sure I’m taken care of. The level of investment in their athletes and clients is second to none. Not only do they handle their business extremely well making sure you get the best service possible, the people who are employed at Roz Sports are of high character and in my experience have never put a foot wrong. Top to bottom it is an organisation that seems to hold one another accountable on character as well as service.
I believe that starts from the top. Roz, who I’ve worked with most, provides the best massage I’ve ever had, constantly tending to any niggles I may have, knowing exactly how to hit them. Throughout the season at Melbourne United, I made huge strides physically, and I believe a key reason to that was that the injuries I did sustain were taken care of so quickly, courtesy of Roz. She would tend to my every need and played a huge role in my success that year, which led to an Olympic medal and first NBA contract. I wouldn’t be here without her. Best in the business.”

Amongst everything else they offer like awesome energy, support to you and your goals, and passion for what they do. They really are a great team and someone I am truly proud to have in my corner and represent me. Ever since I met Roz she has gone above and beyond to help me achieve success.

"To put it simply, Roz is the best in the business. From the treatment to the care, support and energy she displays, the service she and her team provide is like no other, it is next level. I have been lucky enough to receive treatment from Roz for 10 years now. I’ve kept going back as I know any niggles or injuries will be fixed up, through the deep tissue massage, cupping or dry needling techniques, along with the fact that she cares about me physically, mentally and emotionally, which all will help me to feel and perform at my best. I can't thank Roz enough for all her support and care for me over the years, no matter where I was on my journey or living in the world. Roz has always had my back and that’s why I highly recommend Roz Sports to any athletes seeking a wholesome service.”

“Roz is a true professional and shows absolute commitment to her work. She has strong communication skills and builds a great rapport with the individuals and groups she works with. Roz has been a valuable member of the staff within the Wales 7s, working closely with the medical team in assisting with player welfare and soft tissue therapy.
Roz is a reliable and trustworthy individual, with a strong work ethic. As head physiotherapist, I have found her a joy to work with and I am sad to lose her as a part of our medical team. However, should she ever wish to return to her role with Wales 7s, there would be a warm welcome.”

"Roz was my massage therapist for a good two years. Her work is definitely up there with some of the best treatments I have ever received. As a full-time professional athlete, I wanted to ensure I was in good hands, knowing I’d get the most out of my treatments. Not only is Roz good and experienced at what she does. The energy that was brought to each session was such a vibe and had the ability to brighten up the room. I have also made a beautiful friend."

“I have been receiving deep tissue massage and dry needling from Roz for over three years. Her own sporting background and experience in dealing with elite athletes gives her immense insight into how to deal with myofascial release and muscle tension. Her skill in addressing a problem area is extraordinary and, though painful at times, she has magic hands which can dispel any muscle soreness. Extremely friendly and professional, she immediately puts you at ease. I would highly recommend Roz Sports, she is the best I have come across.”

"An important part of professional sport is preparation and recovery. The quality and experience of a sports massage therapist is integral to an athlete’s ability to consistently perform at the required level. In my five years of being a professional athlete, I was fortunate enough to work with Roz Richards at the Rebels. As the head soft tissue coordinator, Roz demonstrated exceptional intuition and went above and beyond to ensure a player was physically prepared for their next session. Roz is one of, if not, the best sports therapists I have worked with."
Tom English
Former Melbourne Rebels Captain and Wallabies Rugby Union Player
“Roz is an excellent therapist who has demonstrated manual therapy skills of the highest standard. Our players demand quality massage and I have always received very positive feedback about her.
Roz has very capably managed the rostering of all our massage therapists. On the occasion, massage sessions have had to be changed at short notice, Roz has always responded positively and proactively. She has also taken on the role of massage student supervisor and has proven herself to be a talented educator.
Aside from Roz’s manual therapy skills, she has an effervescent personality that has added positively to the environment here at the Melbourne Rebels. I have no hesitation in recommending her to any professional sporting organizations.”
