An assessment-led approach
Remedial massage works best when the therapist understands the pattern, not just the symptom. Every session starts with assessment.
1. History and intake
A thorough conversation about your presenting issue, activity levels, previous treatment, and what you want to achieve. This shapes the entire session.
2. Movement and postural observation
A brief look at how you move and hold yourself — often revealing patterns that symptoms alone don't explain.
3. Hands-on treatment
Technique is selected based on findings — remedial massage, myofascial release, dry needling, or a combination. Always explained, always with your input.
4. Plan and next steps
A clear explanation of what was found and practical recommendations — including self-care, activity guidance, or referral where appropriate.
