So what exactly can I expect from a sports massage in Body solve?
At Body Solve there will be a brief informal meet and chat before beginning the session. Following will be a case history consultation involving medical history questions regarding the complaint along with personal lifestyle and work habits. This will enable the sports massage therapist Swansea a chance to build evidence and ultimately help create a treatment plan. After the consultation, there will be a physical assessment and postural analysis (which will include some basic movement checks).
