 Booking Terms, Consent & Liability Notice

By booking an appointment with South Essex Sports Massage & Recovery, whether online, by text, by phone, or in person, you confirm that you have read and agree to the following terms and conditions.

Treatment provided may include, where appropriate, sports massage, deep tissue massage, injury recovery treatment, assisted mobility work, trigger point therapy, stretching, spinal decompression/inversion-based treatment, reflexology, and other manual therapy techniques within the therapist’s scope of practice.

By booking, you understand and agree that:

• You are responsible for providing complete, accurate, and up-to-date information about your health, medical history, symptoms, injuries, medications, and any changes to your condition before and during treatment. 
• Manual therapy can involve pressure, stretching, movement, and physical contact, and may result in temporary soreness, tenderness, bruising, light-headedness, fatigue, or a short-term aggravation of symptoms. 
• Some conditions may make treatment unsuitable or require modification, postponement, or referral to another healthcare professional. 
• Treatment is intended to support muscular health, pain relief, recovery, relaxation, and mobility, but no guarantee can be given regarding outcomes or the number of sessions required. 
• You must inform the therapist immediately if you experience pain, discomfort, dizziness, numbness, shortness of breath, or any unusual reaction during treatment. 
• The therapist reserves the right to refuse, stop, or modify treatment at any time if it is considered unsuitable, unsafe, outside scope of practice, or not in your best interests. 
• If you are booking on behalf of another person, you confirm that they are aware of the booking and will themselves be required to complete appropriate health and consent forms before treatment. 

Medical & Safety Notice
Treatment is not a substitute for medical diagnosis or medical care. If you have a serious, undiagnosed, worsening, or medically significant condition, you may be advised to seek advice from your GP, consultant, osteopath, physiotherapist, or another appropriate healthcare professional before treatment. CNHC sports massage guidance also expects practitioners to recognise contraindications and red flags and to decline or refer where appropriate. 

Data Protection & Privacy
By booking, you understand that relevant personal and health information may be collected and stored for treatment, clinical record-keeping, safety, and legal/insurance purposes, in accordance with applicable data protection law. Health data is sensitive personal data and must be handled with extra protection under UK GDPR. 

Important Legal Note
Nothing in these terms is intended to exclude or limit liability where this would be unlawful, including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence.
