I understand that therapeutic massage therapists do not diagnose illness, disease, any physical or mental disorder, nor do they prescribe medical treatment, pharmaceuticals, or perform bone manipulation. I acknowledge that massage therapy is not a substitute for medical examination or diagnosis, and it is recommended that a physician be seen for that service. It is my choice to receive therapeutic massage as a form of therapy. I understand that treatment given is designed to address the care and prevention of myofascial pain and dysfunction. I also understand that at any time I feel pain or discomfort during the session, I will immediately inform my therapeutic massage therapist, so they adjust. I have stated my pertinent medical conditions and will update the massage therapist of any changes in my health status. I understand that my failure to do so may pose a threat to my health and/physical well-being and I hold harmless Massage by Daniel and my therapeutic massage therapist from any liability whatsoever arising from failure on my part.
