When you first come for a massage treatment, a comprehensive medical history is taken, including details of any medications. Treatments are tailored to your individual needs – to deal with a specific health complaint or injury, perhaps to reduce stress and put into place some lifestyle changes, or simply for an hour of time to recharge and relax.
