For a remedial massage, our therapists will guide you what to undress depending on your issues and also your level of comfort. Underwear MUST be kept on all the time.
The therapist will provide appropriate draping to ensure your modesty, covering all areas of the body except for the part that is being worked on. It is important that the therapist has direct access to the skin and muscles to effectively apply their techniques. However, if undressing makes you uncomfortable, speak to your therapist about alternatives, such as wearing loose-fitting clothing that can be easily worked around or through.

A remedial massage session is a structured approach to massage therapy. It begins with a thorough client consultation and assessment to identify any health issues and the areas of the body that require attention. Based on this assessment, the therapist will tailor the massage techniques to address your specific issues.
During the massage, the therapist may use a combination of techniques such as deep tissue work, myofascial release, trigger point therapy, and stretching. The techniques are chosen based on their ability to improve blood flow, release tension, and promote healing in the targeted areas.
The session can vary in duration but typically lasts around 60 minutes. After the massage, the therapist may offer post-treatment advice such as exercises or stretches to do at home, as well as a follow-up plan to ensure long-term benefits and recovery.
