hello

For your first manual therapy treatment, you can prepare an area anywhere in your home so I can set up the treatment table and move around it. It's up to you whether you play music or not and if there are other things you can implement to make you feel more at ease then please do. 

I will ask some questions about your issue and background whilst I do a postural assessment and check the area for any red flags. There may also be some tests to determine how your body is functioning at the moment and where my focus needs to lie. The treatment itself will be tailored to your needs and will include mostly hands-on treatment with some exercise prescription towards the end (small area-specific exercises). I will explain what I'm doing throughout so you can have as much input and understanding as possible. For some techniques, I will use a cream or wax so let me know if you require this to be vegan or if you have any allergies.

I work completely within your comfort zone and pain levels. There's no one size fits all, so I listen to your feedback as we go along. Some techniques require deeper pressure but if you are not comfortable with this, I can ease off or use a different technique. I also use some gentle but effective techniques. There are lots of options either way!

​

It's best to wear comfortable and loose-fitting shorts for your appointment. If wearing a bra please wear one which can be undone at the back so I can access it easily whilst you are lying on your front- if this area needs treatment. For your discretion and to stay warm, you could have a towel or other covering to hand and a pillow if you so wish for your comfort.
