- Claimed on the spot
- Included
- 4 items
Ten to fifteen minutes before the table, every time. We ask what is sore, since when, what makes it better or worse, and what you actually do with your body all day. Then a standing posture check, the same one we use in the film: where your shoulders are actually sitting against where they would sit if nothing was pulling on them. It shapes the plan for that day's treatment and every one after it.
Included in the price
- A full verbal history, not a tick-box form
- Standing posture and shoulder-position check
- A written note on your file for future visits
- Included free when booked with any treatment; a stand-alone consultation is available for anyone who wants an assessment without a massage that day
On the day
How this one runs.
- 01 Verbal history and a description of the problem in your own words
- 02 Standing posture check against a plumb line
- 03 Agree the focus and pressure for that day's session
- 04 Note it on file so the next therapist does not start from zero

What it costs
Quoted on booking
free when booked as part of any treatment; a stand-alone assessment with no massage that day is a flat fee

The intake conversation alone told me more about why my shoulder hurt than a decade of just booking a rub.

Also worth knowing
- A proper intake conversation and posture check before any treatment, every first visit
- HICAPS claims processed on the spot so you only pay the gap
- Clean laundered linen and a freshly capped oil bottle for every client, every session
- If a technique is not right for your body that day, we adjust the plan on the spot at no extra charge
- The full booked length is treatment time, not changeover and upsell
Thanks, that is everything we need
Demonstration only. Nothing was sent and nothing was stored. On a live site this would reach hello@plumblinemassage.com.au and a booking would be confirmed by phone.
