There is no need to wear anything specific for your massage, unless you would prefer to remain clothed for your treatment. If so, please wear loose and comfortable clothing that is unrestrictive, so that you can be easily positioned and moved as needed for the massage treatment.

The number of massage treatments needed depends on the type of condition, stage of injury or health issue that you have. Usually, you may require more frequent treatments within the first 6 – 8 weeks if you have a specific issue that needs more attention and focussed work to assist the healing process. If you don’t have any specific and current issues, other than normal tension or related symptoms, it is recommended that massage is provided on at least a monthly basis, as part of a normal maintenance program for your health and wellbeing.

Please either turn off or put your mobile phone on silent (unless you must have it on for personal or other reasons and need to be contacted). This will ensure that you can relax and allow yourself time out from your normal routines and responsibilities so that you can receive the greatest benefit possible from your massage.

When possible, it is also better if you are able to allow yourself to let go and relax during the massage treatment, as this will assist the natural healing processes within your body as well as help the therapist to work more easily with you.

After your massage, it is recommended that you hydrate, preferably with water, immediately after your massage and also within the first 24 hours afterwards. You may be encouraged to do some regular stretching or similar exercises in between your massage appointments so as to facilitate better posture and reduced muscle tension which can extend the benefits of your massage treatment.

You are welcome to talk during your massage treatment. It is important to communicate any abnormal pain or discomfort that you may experience during your massage as well as to ask any questions that may arise. It is your massage and therefore your choice whether you would like to talk or not, however, it is usually found that allowing yourself to be quiet can significantly aid the relaxation and healing process.
