FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Each session starts with a consultation with your massage therapist where they discuss the areas you would like targeted and whether you prefer soft, medium or hard pressure. Deep tissue massages tend to require firmer pressure to release tense muscle fibres while relaxing massages are gentle and soothing. Our therapists are experienced and will adjust and check the pressure with you as they go if you are uncertain.Â
Part of the pre-treatment assessment is for the therapist to establish whether you have any allergies. Please bring this to their attention and they will gladly use an alternative lotion.
Massage is generally safe for most people if the therapist is conscious around chronic conditions. You’ll be required to fill-in a questionnaire to list these and the chronic medication you currently use. Your health and safety is our priority, and you are also welcome to enquire about specific issues when you set-up your appointment.
The treatment time includes the consultation and getting ready for your massage. New clients should arrive 10 minutes earlier to fill-in the required forms and returning clients can arrive 5 mins before their scheduled session time.
You can view and select a treatment from the list of massages above. A friendly receptionist will also explain and guide you through the ones that pique your interest to help you decide on one you’d benefit from most.
The objective of a massage is to help you relax and therefore your therapist will ensure you are comfortable. For a full body massage, it is recommended that patients undress fully and cover themselves with a towel, but if you don’t feel comfortable you can stay in your underwear and the therapist will work around it.
This depends on the treatment you choose and most of our treatments are done in 30 minutes, 45 minutes or 60 minutes time slots. You can check this and increase the duration when making your appointment.
