FAQS
Do I need to supply anything?
No. Quality treatment table, towels, oils, lotion and music are all provided.Can you do groups?
Yes. A duo of therapists can come and take care of you, so book in your cycle team, your whole family or group of friends.
What do I wear?
For your physiotherapy session, wear loose clothing in which you can move freely and access the area of complaint. For your massage session, you remain in your underwear on the treatment table while covered with towels throughout the massage.I have a treatment table at home/on the boat already, can I use that?
Yes. Please do let me know if you have a suitable treatment table available for use on the day.Who is physiotherapy for?
Physiotherapy treats a myriad of conditions. Rehabilitation post surgery or injury is essential to restore function and independence. Specific treatments are used in neurological and lung conditions. Furthermore, regular or just a couple of hands on sessions can help relieve that niggling pain or get you moving or sleeping better.
Who is massage for?
Everyone. Therapeutic massage can benefit you whether old or young, sporty or not. It is tailored to your needs at the time. Of course, we will always check for contraindications (any health or medical issues) that would give us reason to leave the massage for another day.What should I do after my treatment?
Ideally, not too much. Drink water to rehydrate and help flush out toxins. You may feel achey or more relaxed. You will receive advise regarding any exercise, activities and follow up sessions at the end of your treatment.How many sessions will I need?
One session can help with an acute musculoskeletal pain for example, caused by awkward sleep position, travelling or stress. If you’re recovering from a surgery, your surgeon will provide a post operative protocol ( a list of do’s and don’t’s). Your surgeon’s notes will guide week by week physiotherapy, to progress your movement, strength and weight bearing safely and steadily. Chronic lung or neurological diseases can benefit from ongoing therapeutic input to help minimise decline, infection, injury and pain and maintain your independence with daily activities to optimise your quality of life.
Will my insurance cover my treatment?
It is always advised to contact your insurance company prior to your first appointment to find out if and how they will cover the cost of treatment. I am happy to liaise with them as needed.
How do I know if physiotherapy is appropriate for my condition?
Your first session includes a thorough initial consultation regarding your health and current condition. We will establish your aims and those of treatment. If your condition would best be served by medical imaging or tests (such as X-rays) we would refer you on to a medical professional or health services as the next step in your care.
“I had a massage at a hotel in Port de Sóller, that was the best I’d ever had. A few days later, I had a massage with Sarah, and it was a million times better!” Jenny, England.
