FAQs
What happens during my first appointment at EMR Wellbeing?
You will be asked to fill in a Client Intake Form, which provides your Therapist with information about you, your over-all health and what you would like to achieve from the massage session(s). From this, more questions maybe asked, some Range of Movement testing and then a discussion on what areas of your body will be worked on during the session.
You will be then left alone to get yourself ready on the massage table, or if you need assistance please let your therapist know.
Where will the massage take place?
There is a private, clean and warm massage/treatment room at the EMR Wellbeing. Your massage will take place in this room.
EMR Wellbeing also offers Work Place Chair Massages, where the Therapist can come to your place of work and a mobile massage chair is used. Please refer to Work Place Massages under the Services Tab.
What should I wear during my massage?
Depending on what type of massage you will be receiving, you generally will remove most of your clothing. As massage is a hands-on therapy and it is common to use massage balms to help facilitate the gliding of the Therapists hands directly on your skin.
It is important that you are comfortable and relaxed during the session, clean towels are used and cover you. Only areas of the body that are being worked on will be exposed.
What should I do during the massage session?
This is your time, so if you want to chat during the session, do so. If you do not want to chat, please do not feel like you have to. It is important that you feel comfortable and relaxed.
You can adjust your body position on the massage table at any time to keep yourself comfortable. You maybe asked to move by your Therapist, this is to help with massage techniques used and to work on different parts of your body.
Stretching maybe a part of the session, so communication between yourself and the therapist will be required.
What type of balms/oils does EMR Wellbeing use?
There are a variety of balms that are used, the majority of the balms are made by PureFX, a natural beeswax balm, made in Kaiopoi, NZ http://www.purefx.co.nz
Also available is Evening Primrose Oil and Almond Oil, Anti-Inflammatory Cream and Hot Rub Cream.
Some of the balms are scented with Essential Oils, if you want a fragrance free balm used, please let your Therapist know.
When using these balms, not a lot has to be applied on the body, it will soak into your skin so you won’t leave feeling “oily”.
