Frequently Asked Questions about our Massage Services
Can you help me?
The answer to this question depends on what your problem is and what is contributing to its cause. All new clients will have an in-depth consultation prior to their first treatment and this will include a detailed medical history and postural assessment. Only if I feel that I can help will we continue with setting up a treatment programme. The consultation is free and there is no obligation on either side to continue if the results show that little benefit will be gained.
How many treatments/sessions will I need?
This depends on what type of problem you have, how long you’ve had it and what is contributing to its cause. The more chronic (long term) a problem is then, generally, the longer it takes to recover. However, you should certainly see an improvement by the third session, with most clients experiencing benefits after the first appointment.
Can I expect a full recovery?
Because this depends on a multitude of different factors it is never possible to promise full recovery. However, I can promise that if we work together on your treatment and you continue with the self-help techniques in between appointments, you will achieve the best possible outcome. For the majority of my clients this has meant a return to ‘normal’, but every individual is different and the options and outcomes are always fully discussed during the initial consultation.
What if you can’t help me?
Sometimes I see clients who have mechanical/skeletal problems which need to be addressed. Because this affects their posture it causes muscle tension and pain in the body – usually joints, legs, back, neck and shoulders. I am not qualified to realign the skeleton so would always recommend that you consult a specialist in this area. Once your ‘framework’ is back in place we can put together a programme to help the soft tissues recover.
