If you have never experienced a massage before you may have a number of questions or concerns which I hope to answer here. Please call or email if you would like more information.
It is recommended that you arrive for your appointment at the specified time in order to enjoy the benefits of the whole session. On arrival you will be given a form to complete which gathers information regarding your health history and reason for your visit. This alerts us to any health conditions that may affect the work and assists us in tailoring the session to your needs, whether it be to help you to relax and deal with stress or to address any musculoskeletal pain or discomfort you may be experiencing. All information will be treated with the utmost confidentiality. If you prefer, you can download and complete the forms in advance and bring them with you to the session.
The massage will be performed on a massage table in a comfortable private room, accompanied by soothing music. The therapist leaves the room while you undress to whatever level is most comfortable for you. Throughout the massage you will be draped by a sheet; only areas that are being worked on will be uncovered. Your privacy and comfort will be respected at all times.
At Bodymind we only use Biotone® products. The Dual Purpose™Massage Creme contains Arnica and Ivy extracts and offers the right balance between control and glide, making it suitable for both circulatory and slow deep tissue techniques. It is easily absorbed into the skin, leaving it soft and smooth without oily residue. For individuals with sensitive skins we offer Advanced Therapy Massage Creme. It has a lighter texture and is hypo allergenic, allergy tested and fragrance free.
Throughout the session you are encouraged to breathe deeply to allow tension to dissolve and to communicate any discomfort you may be experiencing.
