Here is a list of services available at Melbourne Massage and Treatment:
What are these services about?
First, any of those services are holistic services, so they can’t be official diagnoses for medical conditions, and Giovanni can’t prescribe any medications.
What to expect is guidance on how muscularscaletol conditions, such as plantar fasciitis, tight muscle, muscle tear and more...can be looked after and overcome with manual therapy and exercises.
As Myotherapist, Giovanni can guide you on how possibly the pain manifests and how with massage and specific exercises, the pain can be placed at ease.
Part of the process of pain management is the change in habits.
This can include posture at the workstation, but not only, but other changes can also include your training program, which maybe is too intense
for your body and needs to be adjusted.
How is the massage delivered?
Any massage is delivered in total respect of the patient and the therapist. No nudity or sensual massage are available.
Only the body area that needs attention would be exposed. The rest of the body is covered in a towel.
Undress level is down to bra and underwear when need it. If we are working on your shoulder, there is no need to remove the pants.
Regarding individual massage sessions, like myotherapy treatment, remedial massage, and/or Thai massage, an assessment of the muscular scale of the system would be delivered before the treatment.
This assessment included a series of ROM.
These assessments would help Giovanni understand what muscle or groups of muscles needs more attention during the treatment.
What should I do before the massage session?
Treatments such as myotherapy, remedial massage, and MLD include exposing the body parts that need to be worked on.
Said so, having a shower before the treatment would be much appreciated.
You don’t need to wear any perfume, a deodorant is enough.
Should I shave?
No, you don’t need to shave.
If rock tape needs to be used, the rock tape can be placed over body hair.
When you have to remove it, make sure to roll it downwards.
Do not pull it off like it is a wax treatment.
That could lead to ripping hair and skin off.
