Welcome to your first massage therapy session! 

Our ActiveCARE Physio massage therapists are dedicated to providing a safe and relaxing environment where you can experience the healing benefits of massage therapy.

During your first session, we will start with a brief consultation to discuss your health history and any specific concerns or goals you may have. This information will help us tailor your massage to your unique needs and preferences.

We offer a variety of massage techniques, and your ActiveCARE Physio therapist will work with you to determine the best approach for your needs. We’ll work with you to adjust the pressure and focus areas to ensure comfort and satisfaction.

Massage sessions typically last between 30 and 60 minutes, although longer or shorter sessions may be available on request. You will have the option to disrobe to your comfort level. You will be covered by a sheet or blanket throughout the session, with only the area being worked on exposed.

Our therapists use high-quality massage oils or lotions to help soothe and relax your muscles. Upon request, they may incorporate additional techniques, such as hot stones or aromatherapy.

At ActiveCARE Physio, you can expect to leave your first massage therapy session feeling more relaxed, rejuvenated, and with a greater sense of well-being. We look forward to working with you on your optimal health and wellness journey!

When receiving massage therapy, it is not necessary to be completely undressed if you are not comfortable with it. Your comfort and modesty are very important. Your ActiveCARE Physio massage therapist will work with you to ensure you feel relaxed and at ease throughout your session.

It is common for massage therapists to use draping techniques, such as a sheet or blanket, to cover areas of your body that are not being worked on. This allows for privacy and helps maintain a warm and comfortable environment.

Your ActiveCARE Physio massage therapist will work with you to identify your specific needs and create a personalized treatment plan that meets your goals and preferences. We will also guide you on how to communicate with them during the session to ensure that you feel comfortable and receive the most effective treatment possible.

Your comfort and modesty are a top priority during your session!

After a massage therapy session at ActiveCARE Physio, you may experience a range of sensations, including relaxation, reduced muscle tension, and increased mobility. You may also feel more alert and energized or experience a sense of calm and well-being. 

It is common to feel some soreness or tenderness in areas that were massaged, but this should subside within a day or two. Drinking plenty of water after your session is vital to help flush out any toxins released during the massage.

Massage therapy can positively impact your physical and emotional well-being, and you may notice improvements in your mood, sleep, and overall quality of life. The benefits of massage therapy can vary depending on the techniques used and your individual needs. Most of our clients report feeling more relaxed, centered, and connected after a session.

Your ActiveCARE Physio massage therapist will work with you to develop a personalized treatment plan that addresses your specific concerns and goals.
