What happens on the first visit?
A thorough case history is taken with a discussion on goals. Following this a visual and passive movement assessment and any problems, instabilities or pain will be noted. Depending on findings, treatment will take place to help take care of any immediate discomfort. After this a discussion and treatment plan for further sessions that may be needed will take place.
How long are the sessions?
Initially the first session is 1hr to allow for a thorough assessment.
Follow ups will be 1hr and then reduced to 45 minutes once the problems have improved.
Sports massage maintenance sessions can be booked for either 30mins, 45mins or 1hr.
