FAQ and AfterCare Advice

Wear as much or as little as you feel comfortable with, we will adapt to you.  Only the areas being worked on will be uncovered otherwise you are always covered with a sheet or towel. Sessions may require you to lie face up or down on the couch, if this is impractical for you please let us know and we will try to adapt the treatment to suit. If at any time you are uncomfortable, please inform the therapist so we can ensure you receive the best treatment possible. Home care advice and any recommendations for a follow up appointment will then be provided.

Try and relax as much as possible.Follow your therapist instructions and be sure to communicate your preferences. Please do ask questions. All our therapists are trained and can explain what and why they are doing what they are doing. If they don’t know the answer they will find out for you.

Some treatments like, deep tissue massages or sport massages / therapy, may create some pain. It should be more of a discomfort rather than severe pain and will be within your personal pain threshold.  As therapists we work with your bodies natural responses, aiding in pain relief and/or relaxation. Please tell your therapist if the discomfort is too much. There are several ways to ‘crack a nut!’

Your therapist will follow your lead during your session.  Feel free to specify if you would enjoy some quiet time. We also play music sometimes. If this doesn’t suit you, please do tell us and we will turn it off or change the type of music.

Everyone has their own experience. You may feel relaxed, revitalised and sometimes light headed.  It is normal to feel achy or sore, similar to a good work out up to 48 hours post treatment, especially if we've been working on an issue. Drink plenty of water to re-hydrate the tissues and flush out the toxins we have released during your treatment. Sometimes a warm (not hot!) bath can help with the soreness. If you feel light headed or ‘strange’ please sit in reception and wait until you feel ready to drive..

If you are sick or have a fever, it is best to wait until you are feeling better and are not contagious any longer. By having the treatment it can make you feel a lot worse.

Our general rule of thumb is: 

• Colds / Flu:    

• Diarrhea:     

• Injury:        

• Unsure:

Sports Massage is just one technique we use when we do Sports Therapy. Both practices should not be thought of as being the same thing. Sports Therapy is a more complex approach for treating injuries. We use other modalities like Posturology, Myofascial release and soft Tissue Manipulation, to get to the route cause of your problem. Sports Massage is generally used as a maintenance but can also be used as part of a Sports Therapy treatment.
