FAQ’s
Who can have massage?
Age is irrelevant: young or older people can have massage, though those under the age of 18 will only be massaged with a parent/guardian present. Certain medical conditions may need a note from your doctor to allow the treatment to go ahead, if in doubt please ask when making your appointment.
Can I still have massage if I’m pregnant?
Yes, however this can only be carried out from the second trimester and advice may need to be sought from your GP/midwife.
What happens during my massage appointment?
At your first appointment, an indepth free consultation will take place, covering aspects of your medical history and lifestyle, this is to ascertain that there are no reasons as to why you can’t be massaged.
The session and every other one will then commence with the therapist leaving the room whilst you undress to your underwear (full body massage only) and get comfortable on the massage couch, with towels covering you.
For a full body massage your chest, hands, arms, abdomen (optional), legs front and back, buttocks (sciatica suffers only) and back will be massaged with oil. During the session only one area at a time will be exposed. At the end of the treatment the therapist will again leave the room, allowing you time to get dressed and gather your thoughts.
