What to Expect
At the beginning of your first session there will be a confidential consultation where I will ask you some questions around your working life, your home life and any activities that you tend to do in your spare time. The answers to these questions will give me an idea of how you use your body on a day-to-day basis. And may help us to identify key areas in need of attention.
I will then go on to ask you about your medical history and any current illnesses that you may be suffering from. If you are currently taking any medication then it would be great if you could come to your consultation with the names of these either written down or in your head.
The answers that you provide during this consultation will enable me to provide the best possible massage tailored safely to meet your needs.
My massage style
My approach to massage is quite eclectic due to the varied styles of training that I have taken part in and I will use a combination of techniques and approaches depending on what your specific needs are.
This may include deeper tissue work, rhythm mobility, rocking, passive joint mobilisation and stretching. The consultation before the treatment gives us the perfect opportunity to talk about your previous experiences of massage and which particular techniques might be most beneficial for you.
