MASSAGE BOOKINGS
Updated 29 August 2023
We understand that unanticipated events happen occasionally in everyone’s life. In our desire to be effective and fair to all of our clients, and out of consideration for your therapist’s time, we have adopted the following policies:
Cancellations
- We require a minimum of 24 hours’ advance notice if you need to cancel or reschedule an appointment. This 24 hour period is not inclusive of Saturday and Sunday.
- Please ensure you contact your therapist by telephone and not SMS to either cancel or reschedule appointments.
- In the event that you fail to provide the required advance notice you will be charged 100% of the treatment fees.
- Charges will not be applied when the required cancellation notice is provided.
- Clients who either forget or consciously choose to forgo their appointment without providing the required minimum notice will be considered a “no-show” and will be charged the full amount for their “missed” appointment. Please note that future services may be denied until payment is received.
Late arrivals
- Appointment times have been arranged specifically for you. If you arrive late for your scheduled appointment, your session may be shortened in order to accommodate others whose appointments follow yours.
- Depending upon how late you arrive, your therapist will then determine if there is enough time remaining to start a treatment. Regardless of the length of the treatment actually given, you will be responsible for the “full” session, however we will do our best to satisfy the scheduled time.
These terms and conditions are for the benefit of you the client, and your Massage Therapist and form part of your Aftercare advice.
By following these simple guidelines the risk of any potential adverse physical and or allergic reactions to treatment will be greatly reduced.
Suitability of massage treatment:
There are some potential contraindications to having a massage treatment, this will be discussed on your first appointment, or if this occurs later in a course of treatment, then it will be re-evaluated and you will be informed if it is no longer appropriate to continue with your treatment.
Massage treatments are NOT a substitute for medical examination or medical care. You must honour all existing and future medical practitioner appointments. It is NOT appropriate to stop any course of medication or treatment as prescribed by your GP or other healthcare professional without first discussing this with them.
Any therapy or treatment provided should not be used in place of conventional medical care.
Always consult your GP or a healthcare professional for medical attention and advice.
What to expect after treatment:
It is normal for you to feel some muscle soreness, aching and on occasion some localised bruising as a result of deep tissue massage therapy and Gua Sha treatments to the (skin, muscles, tendons and ligaments), and this will pass as part of the recovery process, usually within 24-48 hours. Using ice packs wraps in a towel (never apply ice packs directly on skin) to reduce inflammation is usually recommended unless you have been given alternative advice from your Massage Therapist or health care professional. If you experience long term soreness, please contact Lynnea to discuss alternative healing guidance.
Our promise to you:
We will always be honest and open with you if it is not appropriate for you to have a treatment.
