Aftercare
As part of our duty of care to all our clients, a consultation is always conducted at the beginning of the first massage appointment. It is important to establish the client’s medical history and lifestyle. The therapist discusses posture, exercise, allergies, work pattern and stress indicators. This information helps the therapist to determine the most appropriate course of treatment. It is important to let the therapist know if you have any medical problem such as skin allergies or skin conditions, joint problems, any history of heart problems. If you are / may be pregnant or if you have recently had surgery.
After sports massage and deep-tissue massage, we recommend you do the following:
- Drink plenty of water
- Avoid alcohol
- Eat only a light meal
- Keep warm
