Massage therapy is generally beneficial for everyone, there are certain circumstances though that require technique adjustment, require further training to provide massage safely, or are unsafe to massage in the presence of. It's important that we know any accidents, illnesses and special conditions that you have/had and any medications you're on so we can work with you and your body, rather than risk causing any harm.

It's encouraged that you wear non-restrictive attire to your consultation, as you will be guided through movements to assess joint mobility.
Depending on the area being massaged we may request that you remove items of over-clothing (shirt, pants, socks), although this is always optional if you prefer to leave them on. We use professional draping techniques that ensure you're covered at all times, besides the area being massaged.

There is a common belief that massage should hurt to work - it's becoming understood that pain doesn't always equal gain when it comes to body work. There will be a degree of discomfort with some techniques like trigger point therapy, but your therapist will communicate with you about the 'normal' level of discomfort and ensure to check in during the session that the pressure is suitable for you.

Depending on your general level of health it's recommended to wait a week between Remedial Massages sessions.
