Consultation & Assessment Process at
Indigo Flow Bodyworks
At Indigo Flow Bodyworks, every new client begins with a comprehensive consultation designed to create a clear, personalized therapeutic massage plan. Your first visit includes three structured phases that help me understand your body, your goals, and the most effective techniques to support your long-term wellness and pain relief.
Health Assessment & Goals (15–20 Minutes)
We start with a focused conversation about your medical history, daily movement patterns, lifestyle, and specific wellness goals. This step allows me to understand chronic pain concerns, mobility limitations, athletic demands, and personal expectations so your treatment plan is tailored from the very beginning.
Practical Hands-On Assessment (20–30 Minutes)
Next, I perform a detailed hands-on evaluation to identify muscular tension, fascial restrictions, joint limitations, and areas of imbalance. This practical assessment uses the same clinical insight behind neuromuscular therapy and deep Swedish massage, along with fascia-focused tools when appropriate. It helps determine which techniques—such as cupping, shearing tools, Dysum mats, or targeted neuromuscular work—will deliver the best results for your body.
Personalized Program Recommendations (20 Minutes)
We close with a clear, customized plan outlining session frequency, treatment focus, and ongoing care recommendations. This may include deep Swedish work for relaxation and circulation, neuromuscular therapy for chronic pain, fascia-specific interventions, or stretching and mobility maintenance. The goal is to build a program that genuinely fits your needs—because no single approach works for every body.
This structured consultation ensures that every session is intentional, data-informed, and fully aligned with your wellness or athletic goals. It’s part of my commitment to serving Asheville’s LGBTQ+ community, older adults, and the city’s outdoor and athletic population with safe, effective, and individualized bodywork.
