How long does a session last?
Our initial appointments are at least 45 minutes. Initial appointments will require answering an on-line medical questionnaire. Follow up appointments will be between 30 minutes and 60 minutes depending on need. Our 30 minute remedial message sessions are purely that and should not be booked if you have any injury outside of general everyday muscle soreness. Our longer sessions allow time for palpation, assessment, treatment and after care advice as required. Follow up appointments might be needed to monitor progression and support the rehabilitation process.
How many sessions will I need?
Our aim is to signpost recovery with the minimum amount of intervention. Some patients may only need a single session to quickly be back to normal. Other patients however, may have more complex, severe or multiple injuries, which may require a longer period of rehabilitation. It is normally possible at the initial appointment to assess whether the treatment and rehabilitation will be short or long term and what the rehab options will be.
What do I need for my session?
If it is your first time and Kronos sports therapy then you will need to have completed the on-line questionnaire. If you can't complete this on-line then we can complete this at the beginning of the appointment. Please ensure you arrive in good time so are ready for the scheduled start of your session. It is important to bring comfortable/loose clothing. Bring a pair of shorts if it is a lower back, hip, knee, ankle, or foot problem. Bring a tee shirt and a bra with a clasp fixing if your if it is a neck, back, shoulder problem or if you are having a remedial message. This ensures that we can apply any treatment effectively.
Do you treat Under 18s?
We welcome active teenagers to our clinic, we will always be mindful when assessing, treating, and advising on rehabilitation the needs and ambitions of the child.
It is a requirement that all Under 18s are accompanied by a parent/guardian or chaperone (who is over 18) during the entire session.
