If it is your first time visiting EBEMT, you will be required to fill out a medical form before being taken through to the room. I will ask a few general questions to establish the type of massage you would like the required areas that need to be worked on, if there are any conditions needing to be addressed, and any other concerns.
Certain assessments and testing may be performed to evaluate your condition and to see if you have any presenting complaints.
It is a necessity to list all health concerns and medications so the therapist can adapt the session to your specific needs without doing any harm.
When performing a massage, I ask clients generally undress to their lower underwear to enable me to perform the best massage I can for you by reaching the insertion and origin points of the muscles. Undressing to that amount of clothing also assists in how effective I can drape the towel.
In saying this, it is important that you feel comfortable during your massage so you should undress to the level you are comfortable. Please note being completely naked is not acceptable and the treatment will come to an end if you cannot abide by this.
If you are uncomfortable with undressing to your bottom underwear I will work around the clothes you decide to leave on as best as I can. However If you prefer to stay fully clothed, then I recommend you explore the manyother types of bodywork that are performed clothed..
I will leave the room to give you privacy while you are getting undressed and comfortable on the massage table.
This will depend on the type of massage you decide to have and will also depend on your pain threshold and how tender your muscles are.
Please view the different types of massages provided to find which one you believe would be best suited for you. We will also have a discussion about this before your massage begins. At any stage during your massage we can also alter the pressure to become more suited to you.
Most people feel very relaxed however some experience a good pain and sometimes dull or sharp pains however on a pain scale of 1 (feeling nothing) – to a 10 (can’t breathe, going through the roof) should be no more than a 7 – this is deep tissue/ remedial massage.
After your treatment you should feel relaxed, however you may experience:
Due to these factors it is important to ensure you:
If You Feel Any Soreness, Treat It
After deep work applying icing and heating balms is recommended to lessen the immediate soreness. Light stretching is a nice touch too, because the muscles are warmed up, so light yoga or even getting an adjustment at a chiropractor after is perfect harmony.
In my opinion there are few conditions which would prevent you from enjoying massage. You should not book a massage if you have a fever, cold/flu, or contagious skin infection.
There are many other conditions in which your therapist may need to adapt his/her techniques (i.e. arthritis or osteoporosis) or avoid an area completely (i.e. cuts or burns). With some conditions it is a good idea to get an approval from your physician before you receive massage (cancer, certain heart conditions, pregnancy). This doesn't mean you can't get massage.
I can advise you about your specific needs.
When it comes to massage, the one off treatment definitely does not apply to help assist with concerns. While one massage can certainly help, it packs the greatest benefits over time. It’s best to get a massage as frequently as possible, depending on your concerns will depend on how often. As a general guide I generally recommended every 2 – 4 weeks in between massages. Massage therapy should be considered part of a long-term wellness routine. Our muscles are constantly being used in our everyday lifestyle and generally become tight without us realising, this is why it is important to get your muscles loosened as a tune up seriously helps diminish injury.
