At your first visit, we conduct a comprehensive assessment to ensure that your treatment plan is tailored specifically to your needs. This assessment is designed to give us a complete understanding of your current physical condition, medical history, and any areas of concern that we should address.
During this assessment, we will discuss:
Recent Injuries or Surgeries: We will inquire about any recent or past injuries, surgeries, or medical treatments that could influence your current health. This helps us identify any restrictions or special considerations that need to be taken into account during your treatment.
Stress Levels: Your stress levels can significantly impact your physical and emotional well-being. We will take the time to discuss how stress may be contributing to muscle tension or other discomforts, and how we can address these areas in your treatment.
Pain and Focus Areas: Whether you are experiencing pain or discomfort in a specific part of your body or have areas where you'd like us to focus the treatment, we want to know. We will assess where the pain is localized, how it manifests, and whether it is chronic (long-term) or acute (recent or short-term). Understanding these details allows us to design a more effective and targeted treatment plan.
Medications and Health Conditions: If you are on any medications, particularly blood thinners or medications that affect your circulatory system, please inform us. These medications can influence the depth of pressure that is safe to use during your massage. By knowing this information, we can adjust the pressure to ensure your safety and comfort throughout the session.
Expect this initial visit to take approximately 20-30 minutes longer than your follow-up or continuing appointments. This extra time allows us to conduct a thorough assessment and ensure we are addressing your concerns properly. The first-time patient visit assessment will include an additional charge of $30. This fee applies only to your initial visit, and subsequent appointments will follow our regular pricing structure.
We look forward to working with you and helping you achieve your wellness goals!
