Therapy

Successful sessions rely on your commitment and motivation. When you agree to partake in your therapy sessions, you, as the client also agree to be fully involved and committed to the process which also may include listening to an audio if provided. This also includes attending your sessions and arriving on time.

You accept that treatment is offered on the basis of the information you supply, which you represent and warrant to be complete and truthful.

Ongoing sessions will always be discussed with you and you will have the right to express your preferences regarding your treatment plan and timeframe.

You are free to end or withdraw from therapy at any time. The cost of any sessions paid for in advance but not used will be refunded on request, unless as part of a package, subject to our cancellation policy. Refunds will reflect the actual price paid if special offers have been used.

Sessions

Your Pain Therapy sessions will last approximately 2 hours each, please allow yourself enough time for this. If you are getting collected please make sure your lift arrives on time as the premises may need to be closed at the end of your session.

If you are running late, please let us know as soon as possible.  We will do our best to make a full session available, but this often depends on appointments subsequent to your booking and so cannot be guaranteed.  If your session needs to be curtailed due to your late arrival, then the session fee remains payable in full.

Your session will take place at Emma Armes Pain Therapy based in Aberdeenshire, Scotland, UK (face to face or online) unless stated otherwise.

Home visits may be available in some circumstances. This would incur extra fees. Please enquire for more details if you require this.
