Health Consultation
When you book, you will be asked to complete a health consultation form so that I understand if there are any issues that may affect your treatment or require adaptation of massage technique. If I have follow-up questions, these will either be emailed to you or discussed further when you arrive. If you have a complex health history or would simply prefer to have a conversation rather than fill out a form, a telephone call can be arranged prior to your first visit and takes approx 10-15 minutes (and is free of charge).
At any subsequent appointments, we will review any health changes since your last appointment when you arrive, before proceeding with treatment.
