Common questions about lymphatic drainage, scar therapy and massage treatments at Freeform Health and Fitness
I'm committed to providing treatments tailored specifically to your needs, not a one-size-fits-all approach. Every session is about working with you to help you feel confident and in control of your health. I combine professional expertise with personal understanding, having lived experience of managing lymphoedema and recovering from major surgery. When you work with me, you're working with someone who genuinely understands what it's like to navigate chronic conditions and rehabilitation.
Your initial assessment is longer than standard appointments because we need time to understand your full picture. We'll discuss your medical history, current symptoms, lifestyle and goals. I'll carry out relevant physical assessments, which might include checking your range of movement, observing how you move, and taking measurements where appropriate. We'll discuss treatment options and create a plan together. Most initial assessments include treatment time, so you'll experience the therapy and leave with guidance for home care.
If you're not sure which service is right for you, that's completely normal. Book a free 15-minute consultation and we can discuss your symptoms, health history and goals. I'll help you understand which approach might work best. Many people benefit from a combination of treatments, as the modalities often complement each other.
This is highly individual and depends on your specific situation, health goals and how your body responds to treatment. During your initial assessment, I'll give you a realistic idea of what to expect. Some people see significant improvement in 3-4 sessions, while others with chronic conditions benefit from ongoing maintenance. I'll always be honest about what's realistic, and we'll work together to find an approach that fits your needs and circumstances.
While hands-on treatment obviously requires in-person appointments, I can provide remote guidance and support for exercise, self-massage techniques, and self-care strategies for existing clients. If you're interested in remote exercise coaching or support, please get in touch to discuss options.
