Consultation is a huge part of a massage treatment and covers really important information including your health so we can work safely and effectively.
One of the most important parts for me is getting to know how you spend your day, your preferences including comfortable positions and any previous massage experience that may be relevant.
This part highlights real individual needs and is often the moment clients may share areas that they do not feel comfortable having massaged.
This can be for a multitude of reasons and we can always, always avoid those areas.
Please do not avoid booking a massage if you don't like your wrist, feet, thumb, neck, literally any area of the body being touched.
We just don't include that part of your body, very simple.
If clients become regulars then we may never ever massage those areas and that is absolutely fine.
Sometimes though clients start to feel ready to explore if we can slowly start to include the area and we take it really slowly to see how it goes.
This morning was one of those mornings we included an area for the first time in the leg for my client and it really was quite an honour to be trusted to do this โค๏ธ
I will also add that whilst this may sound quite serious we are often giggling during a moment like this and gently testing if it's a good idea ๐
And I am always ready to abort if we realise it was a terrible idea and will ruin the massage.
In many cases (absolutely not all) it is a pressure problem and once we've established the right pressure that area of the body can slowly start to relax and be included in treatment.
Please feel free to get in touch if you have been putting off massage and have any questions linked to this.
Enjoy this gorgeous weather โ๏ธ
