Before your treatment, there are a few things to be aware of so that your appointment can go ahead safely and comfortably.
For your first appointment, you will be asked to complete a consultation form. This includes details of any medical conditions that may affect your treatment.
If you have any of the following, please get in touch before booking so we can discuss your suitability for treatment:
Some conditions mean massage is not appropriate, while others may require medical approval before treatment can go ahead. If relevant information is not shared in advance, it may not be possible to proceed with your appointment.
If you are unwell - even with something mild such as a cold, temperature, or stomach upset - it’s best to rearrange your appointment. Massage places demands on the body, and having treatment while you are already run down can leave you feeling worse rather than better.
Massage during pregnancy is usually suitable after the first trimester. I am qualified in pregnancy massage and can offer treatment from 12 weeks onwards. Please book a pregnancy massage appointment specifically, as a different consultation form is required. You should also check with your midwife or healthcare provider before attending.
If you are currently dealing with an injury, there is space on the consultation form to provide details. We can then discuss this further and adapt your treatment as needed during your appointment.
Please wear comfortable clothing. Shorts are ideal, depending on the area being treated. You will remain appropriately covered throughout your session.
It’s also a good idea to arrive well hydrated. This can help your muscles feel more comfortable during treatment and may improve your overall experience. Try to drink water regularly throughout the day of your appointment.
Thanks for booking! I look forward to meeting you.
