Your first appointment

Consultation first. Treatment second.

Nick begins by discussing why you are seeking treatment, your relevant health history and what you want from the appointment.

He may use movement tests to understand the main area and related regions before agreeing the treatment plan. The consultation is allowed for outside the 60-minute treatment time, so your first visit is not rushed.

Read all FAQs
Do I need to play sport to book a sports massage?

No. Sports and deep-tissue massage are for anyone experiencing muscular tension, stiffness or discomfort. This may be linked to work, prolonged sitting, carrying children, repetitive activity, exercise or an earlier injury.

What happens at my first appointment?

Nick begins with a consultation about why you are seeking treatment, your relevant health history and your goals. He may carry out movement tests to understand the main area and related regions before agreeing a treatment plan. Allow a little extra time for this first consultation.

Can I book a mobile appointment or visit a clinic?

Both options are available. Nick provides mobile treatments across Brighton, Hove and surrounding areas, and appointments can also be booked at his home clinic in Hangleton, Hove. The full clinic address is provided with the booking confirmation.

Which appointment length should I choose?

A 45-minute appointment is best for one focused area. Sixty minutes suits a first visit or one or more related areas. Ninety minutes allows time for several areas, whole-body treatment or more complex requirements.

Does sports or remedial massage have to be painful?

No. The intention is to reduce discomfort, not create unnecessary pain. Pressure and techniques are discussed with you and can be changed at any time during the treatment.

Does Nick use dry needling or medical acupuncture?

Nick is trained in dry needling and medical acupuncture. These are optional techniques and are only considered when appropriate, after suitability has been discussed and you have given informed consent.
