FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Your Questions, Answered
HOW DO IÂ BOOK A TREATMENT?
Please contact me directly in the first instance on 07504347272. We can then discuss what you want from your treatment and I can begin to make a treatment plan.
If you are making a subsequent visit please contact The Well Health Centre directly to book on 0121 443 1580
HOW SHOULD I PREPARE FOR MY FIRST TREATMENT?
At your first appointment I will take a history of any issue you are coming with. I'll also need to ask for information about your medical background and existing health conditions. You may wish to make some notes to help you remember anything relevant. With regard to any pain or discomfort you want to address with massage it is helpful if you can note what makes the pain worse, or better.
WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT FROM A WELLBEING MASSAGE?
The aim of a wellbeing massage is simply to soothe tension. The techniques used are gentle and therefore more suitable for some clients. You will be asked to remove clothing according to where you would like your massage. Towels are provided to keep you warm and comfortable. A massage medium is used. My preferred medium is a massage wax which is beeswax and olive oil based but grapeseed oil is also available on request.
WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT FROM A SPORTS MASSAGE?
In addition to the points mentioned above sports massage is a deep tissue therapy designed to work out muscle tension and address tissue dysfunction. It can feel quite intense and even a bit uncomfortable. Any pain or discomfort should be manageable and positive - as we deal with a problem area. The key to achieving this is that we communicate throughout the massage.
​
I HAVE ... (A PRE-EXISTING HEALTH CONDITION)Â DOES THISÂ MEAN THATÂ YOU WONT TREAT ME?
Some pre-exisiting health problems make massage, or some techniques, inadvisable. In many cases a conversation with your GP before you come for treatment is all that is needed. Your GP may be willing to put in writing what their recommendations are, or we can arrange a phone consultation.
WHAT COVID SAFETY MEASURES ARE IN PLACE FOR MY TREATMENT?
When you arrive for your treatment you will need to wear a mask (unless exempt). Throughout your treatment I will wear a mask. No covers are used for couches, instead they are thoroughly sanitised between treatments and disposable couch roll is used for comfort. I provide an individually wrapped towel for your comfort.
