With your surgeon's go-ahead
A gentle session once your surgeon says it is fine.
We do not decide when massage is right for you. Your surgeon does.
Ask your surgeon before you book. If they say massage is fine, tell us when you book and bring their note if you have one. We keep to light, slow strokes, stay away from the area you name, and stop whenever you ask.
Before you book
Three things we ask of you
Ask your surgeon first
Ask in plain words whether massage is fine for you now, and from what date.
Tell us when you book
Say that you have had surgery and which area to stay away from. The booking page's intake asks only what we need.
Bring a note if you have one
It is not required, but it lets us plan the session with your surgeon's words in front of us.
In the session
What we do
Light strokes only
Slow and gentle, from the first minute to the last.
We stay away from the area you name
We do not work on it unless you ask and your surgeon has agreed.
We stop when you ask
Pause, change position or end the session, at any time.
One therapist, one room
Every session is with the same therapist.
Questions about your go-ahead
How soon can I book?
That is a question for your surgeon. We book the day they say it is fine.
Do I have to bring a note?
No, but it helps. Without one, tell us what your surgeon said and we write it into your intake.
Will you work on the area?
Only if you ask and your surgeon has agreed. Otherwise we work elsewhere, or keep to the lightest strokes nearby.
Ask first, then choose a time.
Tuesday to Friday, until eight.
