FAQ
What massage techniques do you do?
Here at Emily the Physio, we have a variety of options:
- Myofascial release
- Hot stones
- Sports massage
- Deep tissue massage
- Pregnancy massage
Will I get any bruising from my massage?
Whilst the odd 5p piece size bruise may occur, we don't believe clients should develop any bruising from our massage techniques. Bruising is when blood vessels have been damaged, causing blood to move into the surrounding tissues. Our aim here is not to cause damage to any tissues during your appointment. Bruising can be more prevalent depending upon the medication you are taking, so please let us know your full list of medication at the beginning of your appointment.
Which massage is right for me?
We assess each client to determine what the best massage option would be for them, depending upon their needs. So you can ensure you are walking away feeling looser, stress free and more comfortable.
Can I have a massage if I am pregnant?
Yes! All our clinicians are qualified to provide massage to pregnant women. However for safety and insurance purposes we kindly ask women to book massages after 12 weeks of pregnancy.
Should massages hurt?
Every clinician is different. Here at Emily the Physio we are keen not to give you more pain than you came in with. We believe that there is a balance between having a deep massage and causing pain. When we cause pain we increase the tension in those muscles...so we would be working against ourselves.
How often would you recommend a massage?
This is a tricky question to answer, it depends on your training levels and muscle tension. We would recommend that if you have a specific area of discomfort, having regular massages a few days apart will give the best results. If you are using massage as an exercise recovery tool then anything from once a week to every 6 weeks would be fine. Have a chat with your clinician to find out more.
What Our Clients Say
Kassie
I have been struggling with post injury problems since 2014. As well as struggling with bad neck, shoulders and back, I also had a trapped nerve causing excruciating pain.
I found Emily on google, the same day she saw me and seriously reduced the amount of pain I was in. Emily has now planned a recovery plan with myself, building the strength in my neck and back.
I could not be happier! Emily was very professional, made me feel relaxed, even though I was a blubbering mess.
Thank you so much Emily!
