A treatment plan will be agreed with you before any treatment takes place. During your treatment you will be kept covered with towels to protect your modesty, blankets are always available for those who feel the cold. At the end of the treatment you will have the opportunity to discuss with your therapist any questions you may have. You will be given an aftercare sheet to take home with you, this outlines the things you should do & those things you should avoid.
