As part of the consultation process it is important that a very brief medical questionnaire is completed (and kept updated on any subsequent visits). The medical questionnaire gathers some basic information about you and asks whether you have any existing conditions which may affect whether you are able to receive a massage and whether any special precautions need to be taken eg if you have a contageous skin condition the treatment would not proceed however if you a fungal infection on one toe, we would just leave out that foot. Any information is stored securely and will remain confidential.
No, as a Massage Therapist, all our training relates to Massage techniques and an understanding of anatomy however we are not medically trained and diagnoses are best left to the medical profession.
No. The massage techniques we employ will target muscles and there is no doubt that massage will relax you and are likely to lower stress levels and generally make you feel better BUT massage is a complementary therapy, in other words it works well with traditional medicines and should never be seen as an alternative to traditional professional medical treatment.
Most of the treatments provided will require us to massage directly the skin therefore you will be asked to remove suitable clothing to allow for this. At all times your modesty will be protected and any areas not being treated will be covered by towels.
Yes, infact we no request that all bookings are made online and paid for in advance for your convenience and to reduce cancellations.
We do sometimes run special promotions for multiple bookings so please ask, however our single treatment prices are as published. Gift certificates are available via our online booking system.
Absolutely not, the techniques used in a sports massage can benefit a wide variety of people.
Certain techniques on some muscle groups can be a little painful, however we will work with you and constantly check pressure levels to ensure you are comfortable. At any point throughout the treatment you may ask us to stop or modify if it is uncomfortable. Rest assured that as a qualified therapist, we have had these techniques practiced on us during training, so we know how certain techniques feel so will work with you.
