Please ensure you have checked that you are not medically contraindicated as I cannot refund treatment cost on the day. (Less than 12weeks pregnant unable to massage) To maximise your experience, I would advise to have your phone on silent. Post-Massage Avoid a heavy meal or exercise for the next hour. Drink plenty of water to help filter out the toxins we have broken down. If you have come in particular pain or discomfort, it is likely you will require more than one treatment. I would advise where possible 75 minutes or more. Contra-Action; Erythema, muscle tenderness soreness similar feeling to going to the gym, occasionally if your skin does not agree with the aromatherapy oil used you may experience slight itching, in which case I would advise you to shower.
