The purpose of the massage is to provide stress relief, pain control and relaxation. I do not expect, nor will I ask my therapist to diagnose, prescribe for, or treat any of my symptoms. I understand that any relief of physical or emotional symptoms is the product or process that resides in me. The therapist cannot “fix” me.
I understand that I am responsible for my emotions, feelings, body and belongings and that the therapist is responsible only for giving a massage. Control of the session is mine and I can always say, “Stop.” I understand that in order to receive a massage, it is necessary for me to remove my clothes. Anyone receiving a massage will be modestly covered with a sheet at all times as required by law. I understand that massage to the gluteal area or upper/inner thighs is often necessary for achieving requested relief and should in no way be interpreted as a sexual advance. I understand I may request at any time (before or during the massage) that these areas be avoided should massage in these areas make me in any way uncomfortable.
I do not expect, nor will I ask my therapist to discuss or perform a sexual act. I understand that my therapist will not engage in any discussion of a sexual nature and that the massage will be terminated immediately if any verbal or physical sexual suggestions are made. I understand that Indecent Exposure is a misdemeanor offense that will be immediately reported to the police. I understand that my therapist is ethically and legally prohibited from ever engaging in any physical activity or romantic relationship with me or any client of Deep Tissue Boise.
Because massage/bodywork should not be performed under certain medical conditions, I affirm that I have stated all my known medical conditions and answered all questions honestly.
In the spirit of understanding, I agree to hold Deep Tissue Boise, Idaho Wellness Group, and my therapist blameless for any problem that might arise as a result of my massage sessions.
INTOXICANTS
It is the policy of Deep Tissue Boise that, for the safety of the therapist and client, massage services will be denied to clients who consume alcohol or drugs prior to their appointment or who appear to be under the influence of alcohol or drug consumption when they arrive for their appointment. I agree to comply with this policy.
INFECTIOUS CONDITIONS
My therapist is informed about infectious illness and skin conditions and routinely practices to protect himself/herself and others from the spread of disease. Any person who is experiencing abnormal or uncontrollable secretion or excretion of bodily fluids such as bleeding, vomiting, diarrhea, should not receive a massage until the condition is resolved.
Any person who has a contagious condition including, but not limited to, strep throat, flu, chicken pox, measles, staph infection, or an infectious skin condition such as impetigo, should not give or receive a massage until the condition is no longer contagious. Other contagious skin conditions that should be made aware to the therapist include, but are not limited to, cold sores and warts; informing your therapist about these conditions will stop the spread of these conditions to other parts of my body, the therapist, and other clients.
The therapist will use disposable gloves, a finger cot or adhesive bandage if the skin on her hands is not intact due to cuts, burns, abrasions, chapping, or damaged cuticles.
I Have Read and Agree to all of the above Informed Consent:*
