Massage sessions at Rejuvenate
Each massage session will be discussed and determined by the client and therapist. Together we build a "therapeutic alliance", working together to help you back to wellbeing.
​​
If you are a new client, you will be given paperwork to fill in before the massage begins. This will collect your name and contact details as well as some of your medical history as it pertains to massage, this is to ensure that I am aware of any contraindications to massage or any conditions that require modification to the massage session. This information is stored in accordance with the Privacy Act 2020. Occasionally medical sign-off for massage will be required. If you are unsure if this may be needed, please get in touch to discuss this prior to booking your massage.
​​
As part of the session, whether you are a new client or not, we will have a conversation about your reasons for seeking massage. We will chat about the history of your symptoms, what led you to this point, what is impacting you right now, what stress is occurring in your life, what your daily activities are, and how these might contribute to your healing and movement. For new clients this will take a little longer, for returning clients this is often a shorter catch-up on how things are going.
​​
Once we have established your needs for this massage session and agreed on the areas that will be massaged, your consent will be sought to begin the massage. During the massage you will be covered in a blanket, only the specific parts of your body that are being massaged will be uncovered. The blanket will be draped to create secure boundaries to define the area of the body being worked on. I will check what your preferred massage pressure is and I will ask as the massage progresses.
​
You have the right to withdraw your consent to massage at any time (please see consent page).
