First Appointment
At your first appointment 15-30 minutes will be spent taking a full consultation. This will ensure that massage is safe for you and tailored to your specific needs.
You will be asked to provide your contact details and those of your GP along with your medical history. All records are stored in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) 2018. Data policy can be found on the Privacy Policy page.
Please note, it is advisable to book a 90 minute appointment for your first visit to ensure we can cover everything.
Treatment
All treatments are conducted in privacy. You will usually be required to undress to your underwear and remove jewellery.
Some of your appointment time may be spent building a portfolio of exercises to improve posture, joint mobility and muscle balance.
After Effects & Precautions
All forms of massage may cause some possible side effects. Increased thirst is the most common, headache, nausea, sleepiness or frequent urination are other possibilities.
It's usually a good idea to drink plenty of water after your massage, this can reduce any of the affects listed above.
Always make a note of any post-massage side effects to bring along to your next appointment. This will increase our understanding of how massage affects you as an individual.
After any massage, please take extra precautions before exposing your skin to the sun.
If you have any concerns about symptoms after your massage treatment, please contact me.
