FAQs

What should I expect during my first session?

Your first session includes a full assessment — postural analysis, range of motion testing, and any relevant special tests. This helps identify the root of your pain or dysfunction. After the assessment, we move into hands-on treatment tailored to your needs.

Do I need to be injured to book a session?

Not at all. Many clients come for maintenance, recovery support, or to improve mobility. Sports massage benefits anyone who wants to move and feel better.

What should I wear for my appointment?

Wear comfortable clothing that allows free movement. For assessments and treatment, shorts or leggings and a loose top are ideal.

How long are the sessions?

Most appointments are 1 hour, whether it’s an injury assessment or a sports massage session but we do also offer a 90min appointment.

Do you offer mobile appointments?

Yes — MacElite is fully mobile. Mobile appointments can be made in Darwen and surrounding areas.

Will the treatment be painful?

Some techniques can feel intense, especially when working with tight or restricted areas, but it should never be unbearable. We’ll communicate throughout to ensure the pressure is right for you.

How many sessions will I need?

This depends on the issue, your goals, and how your body responds. Some clients feel improvement after one session, while others benefit from a series of treatments supported by rehabilitation exercises.

Do you provide exercises or rehab plans?
