Below is a general outline of our standard 1:1 treatment procedure. Please be aware that this is the standard structure for Massage/Bodywork* Sessions, and slight variations may occur depending on your chosen modality (ie. Yoga, Reiki, Sound & Crystal Healing, Counselling etc.)
Your session begins when you arrive, and ends when you leave the premises, and includes the brief consultation process prior to treatment, time spent undressing and re-dressing* in the treatment room, the treatment itself, and the de-brief/after-care advice following treatment. Please consider these factors when choosing your desired session length.
Upon your arrival, the practitioner will review and discuss your Health History details with you and determine a therapeutic strategy that is appropriate for your needs, preferences, and intentions, and within the bounds of the practitioners’ scope of practice. The practitioner will explain the proposed treatment plan to you, and your consent to the plan will be sought in the form of a verbal agreement, and the implied consent provided when participating in the treatment process (disrobing*, lying on the table, etc). Instructions about the assessment and treatment procedure, the areas of the body to be treated, the disrobing and draping procedures*, and set-up and positioning options will all be discussed with you prior to the commencement of the treatment to ensure your clear understanding of the processes and procedures, and to offer you the opportunity to ask questions or request changes. You can alter treatment plans, request adaptions to the treatment, positioning, and pressure*, or choose to withdraw your consent for treatment at any time. Signing this Health History Form, or the Terms and Conditions Agreement, does not remove you right to withdraw from any option the practitioner may offer now or in the future.
Once the treatment is complete, you will have the opportunity to discuss the session, ask questions, and request further adaptations to future treatments. The practitioner may recommend stretches or exercises to assist with integration, recovery, and supporting yourself between sessions. All aftercare advice and recommendations are important factors in determining the likely success of your care, and like all healthcare modalities, results are not guaranteed, and responses to and results from treatment vary from client to client.
