Frequently Asked Questions About Massage

The frequency depends on your needs and goals. For general wellness, a monthly massage is beneficial. For chronic pain or specific conditions, weekly or bi-weekly sessions may be recommended initially. Athletes often benefit from more frequent sessions during training. Your therapist will create a personalized treatment plan based on your individual needs.

Your first visit includes a consultation where we discuss your health history and treatment goals. You'll be asked to undress to your comfort level and lie on the massage table under a sheet. Only the area being worked on is exposed. Your therapist will check in about pressure levels and adjust techniques to your preferences. Communication is encouraged throughout the session.

Deep tissue massage involves firm pressure to reach deeper muscle layers, which can cause some discomfort, especially in areas of tension. However, it should never be unbearably painful. We work within your comfort level and encourage communication. Some soreness the next day is normal and usually subsides within 24-48 hours.

Before: Stay hydrated, avoid heavy meals 2 hours prior, and arrive 10 minutes early to relax. After: Drink plenty of water, avoid strenuous activity for 24 hours, take a warm bath to enhance benefits, and follow any stretching recommendations from your therapist. These steps help maximize the benefits of your treatment.

While massage is safe for most people, certain conditions require caution. These include: acute injuries, fever or infections, blood clots, severe osteoporosis, open wounds, or certain heart conditions. Always inform your therapist of any medical conditions or medications. They can modify treatments or recommend alternatives as needed.

Many UK health insurance providers now cover massage therapy, especially when prescribed for specific conditions. Coverage varies by policy and provider. We work with most major insurance companies and can provide detailed receipts for reimbursement. We recommend checking with your insurance provider about your specific coverage before booking.
