What to expect during a treatment:

After your initial assessment which would include range of movement tests, taking a brief medical history, palpation of the problem areas and a conversion about the issues you would addressing, the treatment will be explained to you. 

I like to use many of the protocols above during the treatment, so you don’t need to book for a singular type of treatment.  

Your modesty will always be covered by towels or sheets but you are welcome to stay clothed so long as the clothing is very loose fitting (can be rolled up or moved out of the way of the treatment area) 

You may have heard that sports massage can be painful? But it isn’t supposed to be a test of you pain threshold. Some parts will be relaxing but also some parts will have that sensation where it hurts a bit but also feels weirdly pleasant. I will always ask you how you’re feeling and the pressure can be stopped at anytime. 

Some of the treatments such as the cupping therapy can leave you with some interesting circular marks, (you may have seen them on athletes on the TV) They do fade eventually but it can take some time.

After your treatment you should feel calm and relaxed but also like your muscles have had a mini workout. Your muscles may feel a little achy for a couple of days but it will be a different sensation to any of the pains your were experiencing before the treatment. 

I may also at this point show you some exercises to do when you get home to help the issues you are having. Some of them may seem relatively easy to do and they may be a bit boring (i mean, who likes doing homework??) but these exercises are there to retrain correct movement patterns which in turn stop you getting injured.
