What does an initial consultation involve?
For both massage and Pilates therapies, the first treatment will last for 1½ hours and will start with a consultation during which we discuss your background, lifestyle, health, etc. We will examine your posture and range of movements and discuss with you the factors which are limiting your movement. We will ask about your goals and expectations of treatment. This consultation is important as every person is unique and we believe that every treatment should be tailored to the individual to help them achieve their goals, for example improved functionality in everyday life or a long standing desire to climb mountains! For more complicated issues we may ask for permission to contact your GP, current therapist (eg, osteopath/physiotherapist) or consultant so we can gain a better understanding of your condition. If time permits during the first visit, we will then begin treatment. Further visits will last around an hour and will be treatment based.
