Generally, first appointment will begin with an intake process of health history, contact details, subjective and objective information. A PDF editable form may be e-mailed to you so you can complete it beforehand along with an appointment time for a telephone or video consultation via a chosen platform zoom, skype or what’s app, detailed e-mails may also be acceptable.

Medical conditions will be discussed, current health status, current activity and your area's of concern
Your level of pain or discomfort on good and bad days?
What helps reduce the pain and what makes it worse?

We will review your health history and ask related questions. Because massage can affect multiple body systems, such as the cardiovascular and nervous systems, we ask you to be truthful with the details about your health it's very important, you should also let us know about any medicines you are taking, because massage can enhance or reduce the effect of prescribed medication such as blood pressure medication. Knowing your history allows a therapist to determine if there are any reasons you should avoid massage or a particular technique.

We will ask you questions to tailor a session that meets your needs and goals within the time allotted. Let us know what areas of your body you would like worked on, if there are any areas to avoid, and if you have any techniques that you would like to use or avoid. If you are concerned about undressing, discuss this with us beforehand, we should be able to offer you some options. Don't be afraid to discuss any apprehensions or concerns, all information exchanged is strictly private and confidential.
When you are ready, you will be asked to prepare your clothing to enable us to view and treat the areas chosen, we will then perform various visual posture assessments

During the massage Treatment

Generally, you will lie on a massage table, covered by a sheet or large towel. Make sure you are comfortable and let us know if you are not. Tell us  if you are cold, want to be covered, don't want an area of your body touched, etc., or are experiencing discomfort with the technique or how it is being applied. Remember, you are in charge, and can ask for changes or stop the session at any time.
How to get the most from your massage treatment
Be as open to the process as you can.

Relax and try let your thoughts go. One way to do this is to focus on how the touch or technique feels.
Remember to breathe, as this helps you relax. Sometimes people hold their breath when a sensitive area is massaged, but it is best to breathe through it.
In the same way, tightening your muscles during the massage is counterproductive. If you can't seem to relax your muscles, let us know. we may need to adjust the massage technique etc
