Frequently Asked Questions

 The clinic is located at 31 Fowler Terrace, Edinburgh, EH11 1DB. Fowler Terrace is the street directly opposite Victor Paris Bathrooms in Fountainbridge. There is a Post office on one corner and a glaziers on the opposite corner. Positive Flow Therapies is right at the end of Fowler Terrace  on the corner, just 1 block along from the Golden Rule pub which is on Yeaman Place. The entrance has grey double doors and the bell is just on the left.

There is some paid parking in the street outside and around the surrounding area. Parking is completely free in paid spaces, including permit holder spaces after 5.30pm Monday to Friday and free all day on a Saturday and Sunday.  Parking can be limited if there is foot ball on but you can park at Fountain Park for up to 4 hours for free if you get your ticket validated. 

Massage cannot if you have had any vaccinations within the last 72 hours, if you have a fever/infection, if you are in the acute phase of any injury or soft tissue inflammation, if you are receiving chemotherapy, where there are varicose veins (although we can work above the veins and work other areas of the body), or, if you have consumed alcohol. People with chronic kidney issues should also get in touch in advance to discuss treatment options.

During body massage treatment you will be asked to remove all clothing except for your underwear.  The treatment area is screened off so you will have privacy to get settled on the treatment couch.  You will be respectfully kept covered throughout the treatment other than the areas I am working on. 

Please try not to arrive more than 10 minutes early for your appointment. I am a lone therapist and need time between clients to clean, sanitize and prepare the space for you. 

The clinic space is at street level.

Massage can have considerable, beneficial effects on the body. Each client is unique and after care advice is always discussed after every treatment.  Healing reactions are not always experienced and this doesn't mean the treatment has worked or not worked, it just means that our physiologies are different and so it will vary from person to person. Some people may experiences a healing reaction following massage.  Healing reactions most commonly occur as slight headache, slight muscle ache, thirst, increased urination, and changes in body temperature.  This is perfectly normal and nothing to worry about.  It is vital however that you increase your water intake following massage and exercise mindful, self care practices. Be gentle with yourself, rest, eat well, drink lots of water and revel in the afterglow of a good massage.  If you are concerned about any healing reactions please just get in touch for a chat. 

To cancel of change you appointment please get in touch as soon as you know.  I am a lone therapist and so it's important to the business that I have the chance to try to fill spaces when cancellations need to happen.  Of course there are times when unexpected and unavoidable things happen and I will always do my best to be as flexible and as understanding as possible but generally, cancellations with less than 24 hours notice will be chargeable and you may be asked to pay up front for your next appointment.
