What to Expect

• Expectations:
  In order to gain full benefit, and full enjoyment from a massage it is vital for the therapist to discuss expectations with the client. Your Hands On therapist will tailor a massage to your requirements. eg. Reducing severe muscle tension may require a firm massage, whereas general relaxation may require a lighter touch.

If you have any health issues, please mention them at the time of booking.  Conditions which may either exclude you from massage or require a doctors permission include: Heart conditions, High/Low Blood pressure, diabetes, cancer. Even minor issues can be important, especially if they are contagious.
