Your Therapy Plan
How we develop a Massage Therapy Plan for Clients
We need to be able to identify what conditions clients present with so that we can decide whether they are suitable for massage therapy or need to be referred to another practitioner.
We also need to screen and assess clients prior to and after treatment so that we can understand if the treatment we offer has the potential to assist the client, or if the therapy has been successful.
We use our many years of experience, and our current professional development activities (with the Irish Institute of Physical Therapy) to screen, assess and evaluate each client’s situation and to develop a treatment plan that best suits the client in terms of alleviation and treatment of problems.
Elements of our approach to treatments include:
• Our examination of the inflammatory causes of muscular pain (muscle sprains, tears)
• Contraindications to treatment – “red flags” and “yellow flags” that may indicate serious pathology and need to be addressed appropriately
• Identification of physical symptoms of disc pathology and relevant action
• Identification of causes of acute and chronic thoracic pain in clients
Once we have screened and assessed a client’s condition at the outset, we then maintain a client history which we update after every treatment to measure progress and decide on the most appropriate actions for the next treatment if this is needed.
All client records are confidential and are safely kept under lock and key
As committed practitioners, we observe professional standards and a solid code of ethics
