Frequently asked questions
What do you need to know before you arrive?
WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT?
Time will be spent discussing your reasons for seeking treatment and what you want to achieve. Background information regarding your health will be discussed and recorded. Assessment may include observation of your posture and joint movements. A hands on treatment will be provided.
WHAT SHOULD I WEAR?
Many of the treatments require me to work directly on the skin. Therefore, you will be asked to remove some of your clothes. I use large towels to cover and drape your body so that only the area being worked upon is visible. You will never be asked to remove knickers, briefs or boxer shorts.
WILL IT HURT?
Everyone is different when it comes to pressure, we will all have our own preferences. What feels right to one client might feel painful for another or too light and ineffective for someone else. It is therefore important to maintain clear and honest communication between client and therapist. During a clinical massage we may be treating a specific area of adhesion or tension which may cause discomfort.
HOW OFTEN SHOULD I GET A MASSAGE?
This will depend upon your reason for seeking treatment and your goals. You may have a specific injury or condition that will benefit from a specific series of treatments that will be determined by reaching a specific goal for example improving the range of motion in the shoulder following frozen shoulder.
Some clients seek treatment on a regular ongoing basis to address the stresses and strains they experience as a result of their job or lifestyle.
Where can you find my treatment studio?
I’m based at Kamilla Barry Osteopaths in Bishop’s Stortford. You can find us in Hockerill Court on London Road. The walkway to Hockerill Court is just at the Hockerill lights opposite Suds laundrette.
The practice room is on the second floor, and there are no lifts available. Please do get in contact if this is an issue and we can try to arrange something to suit.
The space has a relaxing reception, where you can wait in comfort for your appointment.
