Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ's)
During your first appointment (Initial Assessment), we will gain a detailed understanding of your injury(s)/background. Then we will assess your movements and posture to reinforce our understanding. We will then provide necessary treatment and outline a plan for going forward! Please don't be scared to ask us any questions!
What happens during my first appointment?
Yes. If you need more maintenance/recovery treatment then booking in for a massage is perfectly fine! If this is your first massage with us then we may do a shorter assessment at the start. However, we do urge you that if you have any pain and are unsure what the cause is - please book an Initial Assessment.
I don’t have an injury, I only want a massage can I book in only for that?
This does vary depending on your symptoms and appointment booked. For Initial Assessments, we will ask patients to undress to minimal clothing (if you feel comfortable to do so!) - this can be running top’s and cycling/running shorts for women. This is so we can fully assess movement and posture. Massage depends on the area of massage.
What should I wear?
Of course you can!
Can I bring someone along with me?
This is hard to say but on average patients need between 3-6 appointments to fully recover. We will do our best to get your back to full health as soon as possible. Many people also like to do a regular appointment every month or so to manage their reoccurring symptoms.
How many treatments will I need?
If you have had any scans/X-rays it would be perfect if we could see these. It is no problem if you cannot, as long as you can tell us a bit about it!
Do I need to bring anything with me?
To answer this in short, Sport Therapists are musculoskeletal specialists and Physiotherapists specialise in more medical areas (E.g. Stroke rehabilitation). A common misconception is that Sport Therapists only treat sporting injuries - this is false, please see our ‘What We Treat’ tab on our website.
