Firstly, it is always recommended that you arrive early for your first appointment to fill in any necessary documentation, and for subsequent appointments, aim to arrive a few minutes early so you can have a glass of water and relax before your session. Don’t eat a heavy meal before the treatment, and try not to plan anything too major following – as you may feel quite “zonked out”!
The treatment starts off with a consultation, and a comprehensive medical history is taken, including any details of medications, herbal remedies and supplements. Lifestyle herbal and supplement advice may be discussed at this point. Your therapist will also discuss any aims you have with your treatment and any problem areas.
After the consultation is finished, you will be shown how to get onto the table, and clothing requirements will be explained. Most people strip down to their underwear for treatment, which is done is a very discrete manner and in a warm and safe environment with relaxing music.
Your therapist will leave the room allowing you to get changed in private both at the beginning and end of the session.
Once your treatment commences, your therapist will warm up the muscles using lighter techniques, gradually getting deeper as problematic areas are identified. As the treatment becomes deeper, so it will become slower.
You may experience some small areas of tenderness or soreness – it is always very useful to identify these to your therapist if they haven’t already been noticed and they are outside of your comfort zone. This means the treatment can be tailored around these. Your treatment will feel deep, but should not hurt or cause you to feel tense. The main aim is always to work as deeply as possibly whilst keeping the client as relaxed as possible – so that you gain the maximum benefit achievable.
Following your treatment, and after you have dressed in private, you will always be provided with a glass of water, and your therapist will reiterate any advice to you that they feel is necessary.
It may be suggested that ice is applied to the area if you have any short term stiffness following the treatment – however this should subside quickly within a day or two.
Your therapist will suggest that you drink plenty of fluids (mainly water) following your session, to help flush out metabolic toxins from the bloodstream as mentioned above.
