During the first treatment a comprehensive case history will be taken, i.e. past injuries and the reason for the visit. The number of treatments required varies greatly according to individual needs – from a single session in simple circumstances, to continuing regular treatment for more persistent or severe conditions. The treatment usually takes place on a therapy table and will last for about an hour. The therapist uses a very light touch when making contact with the patient. This enables the therapist to access a deeper healing quality with the patient: as opposed to a heavier touch with could provoke defensive mechanisms within the body. |
