Prior to your appointment

Prior to your appointment you will be sent a health form to complete prior to your session, that will ask you a series of questions about your health history, current & past injuries and current condition. This is designed to help give advanced notice on medical conditions, to help us decipher the best treatment for you and any massage contraindications.

The Initial Appointment

75 Minutes is recommended for your initial session.

This allows sufficient time to review your medical history, discuss your massage needs, and clarify your goals in relation to the areas of the body you would like treated.

When necessary, a posture assessment, movement screening, and orthopedic testing may be carried out to gain a clearer understanding of your presentation and to support the development of an appropriate treatment plan. This will also help determine whether additional techniques, such as dry needling or silicone cupping, may be beneficial.

During Session and After

The session will be carried out on the table, after our initial chat and assessment your therapist will step out the room to wash their hands and let you get ready onto the table.

Towards the end of the session home care may be suggested or further referral to another health practitioner if necessary.

Home-care could include: exercises to activate/strengthen/stretch an area of the body. Breathing techniques to aid with performance/sleep/stress.

General health advise or a referral to another health practitioner if applicable. True Calm have a good referral network of other health providers such as Osteopaths, physios, podiatrist (gait analysis) Sports Doctors etc. In order to get the best results for an individual not one type of treatment is always sufficient. Being able to work with network of healthcare providers gives the potential to gain the best results for you.
