Not sure what treatment to have? Where to park? Here are our frequently asked questions…
No need as your appointment begins at your requested time, we do have a waiting room in our reception area if you do arrive early, plus you can have a look at all our lovely retail edits for sale!
Come to your treatment wearing comfy clothes that are easy to get on and off, your therapist will only expose parts of the body that they are working on and the rest of the time you will remain covered.
The only exception is Lomi Lomi massage as traditionally you remove all garments, however this is always at your discretion! Please note that Lomi Lomi massage is a FEMALE only treatment.
Make yourself comfortable, after all it is your massage! Your therapist will adjust you accordingly if they need to change your position but if you need to move during the massage to make yourself comfortable then please do so.
If you’ve come for a Sports or Clinical treatment then this may involve a lot of communication and movement.
A couch massage is a flat table where you lie in a face down or face up position and is used for Swedish and Deep Tissue Massage.
A futon is a effectively a comfy mattress on a floor and is used for our Pregnancy and Postnatal treatments to ensure maximum comfort.
No! Our therapists use a range of different genres during massage, but if don’t like the music that is on or if it is too quiet or loud then ask to change it, we won’t be offended!
This is totally up to you, you know your body better than anyone. As a rule of thumb it is better to maintain feeling good rather than trying to restore damage due to stress or over-use, getting into the practice of getting a massage every 4-6 weeks to keep on top of things is ideal.
If you are visiting us for Sports or Clinical Massage, we may have curated a tailored program to go alongside your sports program, other health practitioner or to help you on the road to recovery, so we may recommend weekly, bi weekly or just regular massage to keep you on track!
This one is completely up to you, but please don’t feel you have to talk. If you do have any questions during your treatment then ask your therapist.
Here at Manipura House we pride ourselves on being intuitive when it comes to our treatments and any feedback is always welcome.
If you are coming for a Sports or Clinical massage then these sessions are quite communicative to allow effective treatment.
– Charlotte Street Car Park is a 5 min walk from us, the minimum here however is 4 hours as it is a long stay car park.
– Sainsbury’s Car Park Green Park Station. This is a 10 minute walk from us and free parking for 90 mins. We would only advise using this if you have a 30 or 45 min appointment.
– The Podium Car Park, which is a 5 min walk from us and a short stay car park.
– Royal Victoria Park, short stay, a 10/15 min walk from us and by far the cheapest option.
Memberships at Manipura House are a great option if you would like a regular monthly massage. They are charged via direct debit every month and cost 10% less than buying a massage each time.
Bundles are an upfront cost of 6 massages but again at a 10% discount. The difference here is that you can use them at any time you choose rather than 1 a month.
