Remedial Effects Massage
Tired of searching for a remedial massage which works? At Remedial Effects treatment is effective or its free.
Why Choose Remedial Effects Massage?
Before starting together we work out what the issues are and agree what the outcome should be at the end of the treatment.
You can be confident that if you don't notice a real improvement after the treatment, that the session will be free of charge. I aim to address the barriers which prevent people from accessing manual therapy including:
|
Treatments are provided by a practitioner who:
There are many claims which are made about massage and the other manual therapies, and not all of these have a sound basis in scientific or practice based evidence.
At Remedial Effects evidence based practice is highly valued. I will be clear about what services we can offer and how these services might be effective. I can also link you into a professional service network of exercise professionals, osteopaths & physiotherapists if your circumstances are beyond my scope of practice. |
What to expect at your appointment
When you first arrive we will have a conversation about what outcome you're seeking from a remedial treatment. Are you looking to address a specific issue with pain or mobility? Are you looking for a treatment to reduce the impact of stress? It's important we have a goal in mind to ensure that the treatment meets your expectations.
Following this discussion there will be some form of assessment which will include a conversation, postural assessment, discussion of issues of concern and physical range of motion or diagnostic testing.
Based on the assessment I will discuss with you a general outline the type of treatment that I'm proposing. It may include stretching, and hands on massage and osteopathic techniques.
During the treatment your privacy will be respected and standard draping practices apply. You're also welcome to readjust draping if required.
At times during the treatment I will check with you that you're comfortable with the process, and whether or not the pressure of the massage is suitable.
Your appointment will finish when the treatment is complete rather than being determined by the tick of the clock.
If you feel pain or discomfort during the treatment I encourage you to raise it at the time. There are no medals for bravery awarded for remedial treatments!
