Prior to your appointment
Prior to your appointment you will be sent an electronical health form to complete prior to your session, that will ask you a series of questions about your health history, current & past injuries and current condition. This is designed to help give advanced notice on medical conditions, to help us decipher the best treatment for you and any massage contraindications.
The Initial Appointment / pre session
75 Minutes is recommended for your initial session.
This allows sufficient time to speak about your medical history discuss your massage needs and goals in relation to the body areas you would like work on. If applicable we will discuss your experience of your condition in more detail. If necessary a posture assessment, movement & orthopedic tests will be assessed to help gain a further understanding to help create a treatment plan for you, and whether or not additional tools may be used such as Dry Needling or Silicone Cupping depending on the therapists scope of practice.
Please note sessions after your initial appointment will start with a brief consultation to check in and if necessary further biomechanical/orthopedic testing, 75 min is advised for treatments to allow enough time consult and treatment time on the table .
During Session and After
