FAQs
All massage treatments will include an initial consultation at your first visit which will consist of a full assessment of your health, lifestyle, range of movement and presenting condition. Depending on what massage type you are having or what your presenting problem is, a postural assessment may be done and/or range of movement testing. Once the assessments have been carried out, a discussion had about the treatment plan and any expectations you may have then your hands-on treatment will begin. In some cases, appropriate exercises to carry out at home will be given. Follow-up sessions will include a debrief of how you have been since the last massage and re-testing if necessary.
It depends on your condition. For maintenance massages and for wellness routines massages are recommended once a month.
For chronic pain conditions it is recommended to seek treatment once a week for up to 6 weeks to achieve a reduction in pain. If pain reduction lasts between treatments, usually after week 3, then the length of time between appointments can get longer until you can move onto monthly maintenance treatments.
Anything you like. You will be asked to undress to your underwear following the consultation and will change behind a screen before getting on the couch and under a towel.
During postural assessments and range of movement testing you will be asked to undress to your underwear so appropriate clothing is needed. It is recommended that men wear shorts and for women a crop top or sports bra would be appropriate.
