Knead Massage & Natural Therapies

Initial Consultation 60 Minute Session

Your first treatment will include a detailed interview of the health history, including previous injuries and chronic conditions, followed by a comprehensive assessment of the posture and movement, soft tissue structures (muscles, tendons and ligaments), joint mobility, and nervous system function. It’s best to wear loose clothing like shorts and t-shirt or active wear that you can move freely in.

After the diagnosis of the dysfunction, your therapist will perform treatment of the affected area, using a range of manual techniques, which may include joint mobilization, soft tissue manipulation, different types of stretching, dry needling, etc. Your myotherapist will also provide an individualised treatment plan including appropriate corrective exercise and self-care advice. Corrective exercises will be demonstrated either in the room or in our exercise demonstration area.

The therapist will follow up with you via email to check on how you feel after treatment and to check your progress. Your therapist may provide links to exercise videos held on our YouTube channel.

Consecutive Treatments

Follow up treatments may be required depending on your presenting condition, how long you have had the problem and what your goals are. Quite often, you will need more than one treatment, however some issues may be improved with just a single session. Follow up sessions may vary in length (60, 45, 30 minutes), depending on the treatment techniques required, complexity of the condition, and the number of issues that need to be addressed.
