How Treatment Will Progress
At the initial session a detailed case history will be taken which includes full details of your current condition and your past medical history. This is a vital part of your treatment as it will help me to devise the best course of treatment going forward.
A thorough assessment, likely to involve some simple exercises, will help to identify possible causes of your condition. Where necessary you may be asked to undress to your underwear as part of this assessment. Please feel free to bring shorts if you prefer.
We will have a full discussion regarding your treatment and agree on the aims of the treatment. This will include an estimate of the number of sessions necessary. It is very unlikely that one treatment will fix any concerns that are identified. As all individuals respond differently to treatments it may take 2 or 3 sessions to discover the most effective technique.
If I feel that massage alone cannot help with your condition I may recommend that you visit a more senior healthcare professional, such as a Physiotherapist or Osteopath.
Once the first assessment is complete further sessions will concentrate on the treatment that we have agreed upon.
Throughout the treatment it is important for me to have your honest feedback on the affect any particular technique is having. What works for one client may not produce the same result for another.
