They are different.

Bodywork includes massage therapy, chiropractic care, energy work, Shiatsu, Thai massage, reflexology, etc. Massage therapy is a branch of the bodywork “tree”.

On this site, you will see the terms used interchangeably because multiple modalities are offered at Honeysuckle Healing.

Showing up 5-10 min early is perfectly acceptable, as you will be required to fill out a health history form and consent to care.

Afterward, the therapist will review the intake with you and ask specific questions to establish goals for the session, clarify details of intake, and determine what massage plan to co-create that addresses limits and needs.

The therapist may perform certain assessments and testing to evaluate your condition and to see if you have any presenting complaints.

It is important to list all health concerns and medications so the therapist can adapt the session to your specific needs without doing any harm.

It is also important to list any allergies, so the therapist is aware if she needs to use different topical products during the session.

There are very few instances where massage is not recommended, and these are called total contraindications. This includes being under the influence of alcohol, suffering from a cold/flu/fever, diarrhea or vomiting or having a contagious skin infection. There are also ‘local contraindications’ which are conditions affecting specific areas of the body such as cuts, bruises or areas of injury; these areas will be avoided.

Severe medical conditions such as heart problems, respiratory issues, cancer, or epilepsy will require medical approval from your GP stating that you are safe to receive a massage.

The conditions mentioned above are general guidelines only, so if you are concerned that any of the medical conditions apply to you, please contact your therapist first to check that the treatment is suitable for you. You should not attend a massage if you believe that you are suffering from or have been exposed to Covid-19.
