TREATMENTS

What should I expect during my first treatment visit?

If you are a first time client your therapist will require you fill out a consultation form. Your therapist will discuss your main concerns that you wish to address during the treatment and design a treatment appropriate for you.
 

What happens during a mobile treatment?

While you are filling out the consultation form your therapist will be setting up the equipment for your treatment. Your therapist will then provide you with a clean towel and leave the room to wash his/her hands while you undress to your level of comfort and lie on the massage table as directed.

The therapist will return to the room when you are ready. Soft music will be played unless you request silence during the treatment. Lights will be dimmed if possible, and all you have to do by that stage is relax and enjoy!

The therapist will advise when the treatment is finished and she/he will leave the room to allow you to get dressed in private. If you have any questions throughout the treatment please do not hesitate to ask your therapist about any concerns you may have. It is your treatment, please make yourself home!
 

What do I do during the treatment?

It is important to make yourself comfortable. When the therapist needs to adjust your position, she/he will either move you or will ask you to move when needed. You can change your position at any time to make yourself more comfortable. While many people close their eyes and relax during a session, others prefer to talk. It is your treatment and whatever feels natural to you is the best way to relax.
 

What should I wear?

You can wear what you normally would. You will have the privacy of the room or your own home to change in. Lower undergarments, a sport top and shorts may be worn - whatever you're most comfortable with. If you need to undress for a treatment, the therapist will leave the room and will return when you are draped, but you should have your underwear on during the treatment. It is also good for jewellery to be removed.
 

Will I be covered during the treatment?

Yes, at all times we use towel drapings and respect your privacy during your massage. The therapist will only uncover that part of your body that they are working on at that time. We consult with you prior to the treatment as to which parts of your body you give consent to be massaged.
 

If the pressure is too hard or too soft during the treatment, can I let the therapist know?

Yes! The therapist will check with you during the massage that the pressure is firm enough for you. However, if at any stage you would like the pressure changed or are uncomfortable for any reason, please let us know as we can always change things to make you happy.
 

What if I enjoy the treatment so much, I wish to extend the duration?

Requests for treatment extensions are very common, especially for most of our shorter treatments. If you wish to make an extension, you need to ask our therapist if she/he has another scheduled appointment immediately after your session. In most cases the extension has to be confirmed with us.

  • If our therapist is unsure whether or not someone made a booking in the meantime, we need to be contacted prior to the extension to ensure our schedule will not be affected. If our therapist has another booking, then unfortunately we will not be able to service your request.

  • If our therapist has a free time slot then you are more than welcome to extend. As a general rule, we encourage our clients to book for the longest treatment they can afford because we know how much you will love it!

How will I feel after the treatment?

Most people feel calm and relaxed after a treatment. Occasionally, people experience mild temporary aching for a day if they had a remedial or deep tissue massage.
 

Are there any
contra-indications?

Massage therapy is not recommended for people with infectious skin disease, rash, or open wounds, immediately after surgery, immediately after chemotherapy or radiation unless recommended by your doctor. In addition, pregnancy massage is contra-indicated within the first trimester. In some cases, upon booking we will notify you if you need to have a referral letter from your general practitioner or physician of care advising that massage is safe for your circumstances.

Massage should not be done directly over bruises, inflamed skin, unhealed wounds, tumours, abdominal hernia, or areas of recent fractures. Other known contra-indications to massage include deep vein thrombosis, bleeding disorders or taking blood thinners such as Warfarin, damaged blood vessels, weakened bones from cancer, osteoporosis, or fractures, and fever.
 

I have another question that is not listed here, what do I do?

If in doubt please contact us, we will do our best to support and answer all your questions.
