Our Approach & What to Expect on Your First Visit
Do I need to have an initial assessment?
Yes. All patients need to be assessed on their first visit to our clinic. This is to ensure that we are 1)aware of your existing medical history and 2)to make sure that it is safe for you to be treated with massage therapy.
How long will my first visit be?
We book all first visit patients for 60min.
How long will my treatment be on the first visit?
The initial visit treatment time will be dependent on the extent of your medical history and your current condition. We try hard to provide at least a 45min massage on the initial assessment visit, however, with extensive history, your treatment time may be shorter.
Will I be sore following my treatment?
Often people are sore following a treatment. However, this will again be dependent on the extent of your current health status. We commonly see that patients are more sore when there is an acute injury. Also, if you have never had a massage before, you may not be used to the treatment. Typically, as your tissues become healthier, your nutrition improves, and your injury heals, the tenderness once felt with massage therapy, goes away.
