For patients scheduling a medical massage or wanting to treat a specific issue: your initial session with Seraphina will begin with an orthopedic assessment related to the condition or pain pattern you are looking to address. Orthopedic assessment is done clothed and may be standing, seated or on the massage table. It is important to wear comfortable clothes for this process. Assessment can move directly into clothed treatment, especially in the first session. Sometimes after the assessment you will transition to the table for more traditional style massage, especially in later sessions.

This process of assessment ensures that the relevant tissues and structures are being treated, increasing the likelihood of your symptoms being relieved.

Seraphina will continue to ask questions during the course of the treatment to ensure that the work is relevant to your unique situation. Seraphina often does not use oil or lotion in treatment, this facilitates better fascial and neuromuscular release. Your session will end with a post-treatment assessment to see what has changed and may include instruction in strengthening or stretching exercises to assist in your healing between sessions.

Patients with acute soft tissue issues (non-chronic) tend to see the most benefit and greatest symptom relief within 3-5 treatments. Patients with chronic patterns or conditions may require more sessions or higher frequency to see lasting shifts in their symptoms.
