I understand that MLD Therapists are not medical doctors and are not substitutes for medical treatment. We also do not diagnose, prescribe medications, or perform spinal manipulations.
I understand that it is my responsibility to fully inform the MLD Therapist with all medical conditions, symptoms, medications, etc. I am also responsible to answer all questions about my health and physical condition honestly and in full detail. I understand that it is solely my responsibility to keep the Therapist updated on any changes in my health and physical conditions. I also understand that it is my responsibility to communicate with my bodyworker if I have any questions or concerns regarding my session.
I do not have any symptoms or injuries or conditions that would prevent me from receiving MLD, nor have I been told by a health care provider that I should not receive MLD. The Therapist has the right to decline, discontinue or restrict services at any time based on information that may put my own health or the Therapist’s health at risk.
I understand that massage and bodywork are therapeutic, clinical, and non-sexual. Only area(s) currently being worked on will be professionally and adequately undraped. In certain cases, undraped breast work may be performed to best move lymphatic fluid away from blocked or congested areas. I understand that having undraped breast work is performed clinically and professionally and in no way conducted in an inappropriate or sexual manner.
