Pre-treatment information

Before your treatment, there are a few simple things to be aware of to help make sure your appointment is safe, comfortable and tailored to you.

Before your appointment

For your first appointment, you will be asked to complete a consultation form. This includes details of your general health, medical conditions, medication, recent injuries or surgery, and anything else that may be relevant to your treatment.

If you have an ongoing medical condition, are receiving medical treatment, have recently had surgery, or are unsure whether massage is suitable for you, please get in touch before booking.

Some circumstances may mean treatment needs to be adapted or postponed, or that medical advice is needed before we can go ahead. Please provide as much relevant information as you can so that I can make sure your treatment is appropriate for you.

If you’re unwell, even with something relatively mild such as a cold, temperature or stomach upset, please rearrange your appointment. You’ll generally be more comfortable having your treatment once you’re feeling well again, and it also helps avoid passing illness on to others.

If you’re dealing with an injury, muscular pain or a particular area of discomfort, there is space on the consultation form to provide details. We’ll discuss this before your treatment and I can adapt the session around what is comfortable and appropriate for you.

Pregnancy

If you’re pregnant, I offer Pregnancy Massage from 12 weeks onwards. I am qualified in Pregnancy Massage and 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.

What to wear and how to prepare

Please wear comfortable clothing. Shorts can be useful depending on the area being treated. You will remain appropriately covered throughout your session.

There’s no special preparation needed before most treatments. It’s a good idea to drink normally throughout the day so that you arrive comfortably hydrated.

Try to avoid eating a large meal immediately before your appointment, simply so that you’re comfortable lying on the treatment table.

During your treatment

Before we begin, we’ll talk about what you’d like help with and any areas you’d particularly like me to focus on or avoid.

Your comfort is important throughout the treatment. Please let me know at any point if you’d like the pressure adjusted, if something feels uncomfortable, or if you’d prefer me to work differently. You will remain appropriately covered, with only the area being treated uncovered as necessary.

Arriving for your appointment

My treatment room is in Kenninghall, Norfolk, with parking available on the driveway. You don’t need to arrive a long time before your appointment, but allowing a few minutes for your first visit gives us time to go through your consultation before treatment begins.
