what to expect
Your session will begin with a short discussion to understand what’s going on and what you’d like to get out of the treatment.
Treatment is then tailored to your body, focusing on the areas that need attention while also working more broadly where needed to identify and address contributing factors.
We suggest wearing loose clothing such as shorts and a baggy top to allow access to areas needing work.
For new clients, a longer session is recommended to allow enough time for a thorough assessment and more effective treatment.
after your treatment
You may feel some tenderness in the treated areas, but most people leave feeling looser, more comfortable, and moving more freely. Make sure you stay hydrated and avoid strenuous activity after your session to encourage recovery.
Where appropriate, simple advice or exercises may be provided to support your results.
