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.

  1. 01 Verbal history and a description of the problem in your own words
  2. 02 Standing posture check against a plumb line
  3. 03 Agree the focus and pressure for that day's session
  4. 04 Note it on file so the next therapist does not start from zero
A detail from a Plumb Line treatment room, Maroochydore
The full booked length is treatment time, not changeover and upsell.

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

Asked every week

Asked about this treatment.

Do I have to book a stand-alone consultation before my first massage?
No. It happens automatically at the start of your first treatment appointment, at no extra charge. The stand-alone option is only for people who want an assessment without a massage that day.
What should I actually tell you?
What is sore, how long it has been going on, what your typical day looks like and what you have already tried. We would rather you over-explain than under-explain.
Will you tell me if massage is not the right treatment?
Yes, and it happens. If something looks like it needs a GP, a physiotherapist or imaging rather than massage, we will say so before we start rather than after you have paid for a session.

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