Your first visit will be approximately 60 minutes. During this time, your massage therapist will take a full case history to assess your current health and any previous conditions or existing symptoms. A physical examination will take place, so it is best to bring a pair of shorts and, for ladies, a vest top or similar. This allows your therapist to see alignment of your hips, shoulders and spine. Privacy is always provided and if you are uncomfortable with any area being uncovered then do tell your therapist. It will never be a problem.
