What to Expect During Your Visit
Your first appointment begins with a discussion of your health history, symptoms, goals, and any relevant injuries or medical conditions. Your Registered Massage Therapist will perform a brief assessment, which may include evaluating posture, movement, and areas of pain or restriction, to develop an individualized treatment plan.
Before treatment begins, your therapist will explain their findings and the proposed approach, ensuring you feel informed and comfortable. They will then leave the room to allow you to undress to your level of comfort before returning to begin treatment. Professional draping techniques are always used to ensure your privacy and comfort throughout the session.
Depending on your needs, your treatment may include a combination of manual therapy techniques, stretching, cupping therapy, medical acupuncture (where applicable), or other therapeutic approaches designed to support your recovery.
Your appointment may conclude with self-care recommendations, home exercises, or guidance to help maintain your progress between visits. If appropriate, your therapist may also recommend complementary services within our multidisciplinary team to help you achieve the best possible outcome.
