What to expect from a Massage Treatment
Consultation
Obviously I need to know what you want or need from your treatment so, before each session, I will take some information from you. At the first session I will need a little longer to take some general information about your health, lifestyle, massage preferences etc. All information provided is totally confidential – it is used to agree a massage plan to ensure you get the maximum benefit from each treatment.

The Treatment
This will be as agreed during the consultation and will usually involve a variety of techniques depending on your requirements at that particular session. Your treatment may include long, relaxing strokes, focused deep tissue massage, muscle stretches, myofascial release and joint mobilisation – or even all of the above! If I feel that you may benefit from something not previously agreed, e.g. moving to a different area, I will again seek your permission.
During the treatment I may ask occasional questions to ensure, for instance, that I am using appropriate pressure. However you do not need to wait to be asked - just tell me if you want me to work deeper or to lighten the pressure etc – it is your massage – you are in control.

Post-Treatment
After your treatment we will have a further chat and discuss how the massage was for you. This discussion may also include aftercare, e.g. stretches or relaxation techniques, how you may feel over the next hours or days and possible future treatments.
