Question 1

Do you use special aromatherapy in treatments?

Accepted Answer

Yes - we use certified organic essential oils and top quality carrier oils for our massage treatments.

Question 2

Do I need to prepare for my massage?

Accepted Answer

If you shower and go to the toilet before your massage, it will leave you feeling clean, refreshed and ready for massage. Your skin will absorb our oils during (and after treatment) too.

Question 3

What happens if I have allergies?

Accepted Answer

Please tell us. It's important we don't overstimulate or affect customer's with allergies and sensitivities, so we opt to NOT burn oils to make it easy to breathe in our room. We use several Massage Blends that go directly on the skin. You are welcome to bring your own if you'd like too.

Question 4

Why is it important to use a qualified therapist?

Accepted Answer

Christine's qualifications began in 2004...with massage, you want to know you are in safe hands!

We've purpose-built our 'dream clinic' including luxurious Massage treatment room, private Sauna and all the top touches, like hot stones and heated towels. It's a beautiful nurturing space to relax and unwind in.

Question 6

What's so special about an Electric Table for Massage Treatments?

Accepted Answer

Easy to get on/off, can be elevated to help clients with swelling and the middle can lift to help flex the hips, which is important for people with back pain.

Question 7

Sauna, Hot Rocks, Warm Wheat Packs, Heated Towels - how does heat help?

Accepted Answer

Bodies love warmth for recovery and regeneration - increasing blood flow helps you relax. That's why we use so much hot stuff in our clinic!

Question 8

What's different about Focus On Movement?

Accepted Answer

Our small classes with only 2 children make a BIG difference! Quiet classes with minimal distractions and maximum time on task plus hands-on teacher manipulation and guidance are valuable for little swimmers...

Question 9

What are my payment options?

Accepted Answer

We use weekly Direct Debit for all our classes and stock because it's easy and straight-forward for swim families. You can access payment information in your portal at any time.

Question 10

Why does Focus On Movement use an Online Customer Portal?

Accepted Answer

Our teachers are busy teaching Monday to Saturday so our Online Customer Portal is our office assistant. You can book make-up classes online, see Direct Debit and personal details, class times and more! It's a professional way to easily communicate with our swim families.

Question 12

When can you safely get a Pregnancy Massage?

Accepted Answer

Massage during Pregnancy is safe in all trimesters when performed by a qualified and trained professional - we ask our mothers to check with their health professional before commencing treatment and we do a detailed client assessment with all treatments.

Question 13

What is different during Pregnancy Massage?

Accepted Answer

Position. Oils. Techniques. Just a few examples...the list goes on quite long. We've done several pregnancy courses over the decades we've been treating our clients.

Question 14

What happens with Postnatal Massage?

Accepted Answer

The whole process of growing and birthing a baby is long and it's hard work! Gentle postnatal treatment that focuses on organ alignment and nurturing care makes a big difference to restoring health and vitality in new mums.

Question 15

Why do you recommend not showering AFTER massage?

Accepted Answer

It's best to wait 2-3 hours before showering after a massage treatment, to allow time for the oils to be absorbed into the skin.

Question 16

Does Pregnancy/Postnatal care need different aromatherapy?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Absolutely. Some oils are not safe or recommended and the strength of our blends needs to change as oils do cross over to baby in utero and with breastfeeding. Postnatally, we want to limit oil use to help the chemistry of attachment and enhance baby's sense of smell with bonding.

Question 17

How can Sports Massage help?

Accepted Answer

Professional athletes and active people both benefit from treatment. Massage helps recovery, maintenance and preparation for times when you are challenging your body.

Question 18

Is Sports Massage good for children?

Accepted Answer

Definitely! Whilst parents can help with nightly massage, it is important for young athletes to get some professional treatment from someone who really know what to do. Growing bodies need good care.

Question 19

What can Remedial Massage help?

Accepted Answer

Improve body balance, posture, alignment, movement and decrease pain, tension and injury problems. A Remedial Therapist does in-depth training in anatomy and physiology to help your body move better and feel great!

Question 20

What is the difference between Remedial and Relaxation Massage?

Accepted Answer

A Remedial Massage Therapist has the skills to know when it's important to apply Remedial techniques. Many elements of Massage are relaxing, and for some clients who have depression or anxiety, a Remedial Treatment may include more relaxing elements than structural. Remedial Massage means we set goals, provide guidance on improving body balance and we test/retest movement after each treatment.
