History of Pathology

1. Please list area of discomfort, pain or impairment, if any. Feel free to get as detailed as you would like. If multiple areas are involved, there is space near the bottom of this form where you can get more specific.

2. Describe onset of condition or symptoms, if applicable. (When did you first notice it?)

3. Frequency of symptoms, if applicable. Choose more than one if that applies.

4. At what point in your day are symptoms worse, if applicable? (For instance, when you wake up, while sleeping, throughout the day, while doing a certain activity, etc.)

5. Have you ever injured this area before? If so, please describe when and how it affected you, including treatments received.

6. Is there anything you do that creates or increases pain?

7. Is there anything you do that decreases and soothes pain?

9. Have you ever been in an accident (automobile, work, falls, etc.)? If so, please describe when and how it affected you.

11. Do you manage any type of chronic emotional distress or mental illness (such as depression, anxiety, mood disorders, PTSD, etc.)? If you're comfortable sharing, you may do so below. A common theory is that all of this gets stored in the body so I find it helpful to be aware of.

12. Are you a survivor of any physical or sexual violence / unwanted physical contact? I want everyone in my space to feel safe so I consider it valuable to know, but only if it feels right to share.

13. What are the physical duties required of your occupation, hobbies, or other activities?

Massage Policies

** All clients' information is kept confidential and will only be released with consent. **

• Please notify your therapist if you need to cancel your appointment for any reason. At least a 24-hour notice is appreciated to avoid being charged the full rate of the scheduled service. Exceptions do apply in emergency situations or when someone becomes ill.

• If you know you are going to be late and are able, please let your therapist know. It is more important that clients arrive safely than be right on time and feeling rushed is counterproductive. Life happens!

• A consultation will be provided prior to your session to discuss any of your questions and concerns, as well as identify personal preferences and treatment goals.

• For optimal enjoyment, it is recommended that clients turn sounds and notifications off on phones during the session.

• Clients will be modestly draped the entire time and are encouraged to disrobe after the therapist has left the room only to a level that feels comfortable.

• Either the massage therapist or client may end the session at any time for any reason and the therapist reserves the right to continue to charge for a full session depending on the circumstances.

• Inappropriate behavior or requests will not be tolerated and may be prosecuted to the full extent of the law.

Client Agreement:

I understand that licensed massage therapists do not diagnose illness, disease, or any physical disorders, nor do they prescribe medical treatments or pharmaceuticals.

I acknowledge that massage therapy is not a substitute for medical examinations or diagnosis, and it is recommended that a physician be seen for that.

I also undersand that at any time I feel pain or discomfort during the session, it is my right and responsibility to inform my massage therapist so they can make adjustments to their approach.

I have shared all pertinent medical information, including allergies and medications that could affect treatment, and will update the massage therapist of any changes in my health status.

I am aware that my failure to do so may pose a threat to my health and physical well being and I hold harmless this massage therapist from any liability whatsoever arising from failure on my part.

By my electronic signature below, I agree to the massage policies and client agreement above.

At Vital Flow, we believe wellness practices should be accessible to everyone and that's why we've created the Wellness For All program which allows us to provide massage therapy services to folks who may not be able to afford it at the regular rates. If this applies to you or if you know someone who may benefit from this program, please mark one of the responses below. Qualifying for the program implies that paying the full rate for any session would make it difficult for an individual to pay their basic monthly living expenses.
