Scope and Limitations of Services
I understand that massage therapy/bodywork is intended to support overall well-being, reduce pain and tension, and provide a therapeutic experience of touch.
I understand that massage therapy/bodywork is not a substitute for medical care, psychotherapy, or medication. The practitioner does not diagnose or treat medical conditions, prescribe medications, or provide psychotherapy or trauma therapy.
I understand that bodywork may bring awareness to physical sensations, emotions, memories, or personal experiences. Depending on the session offered and my individual needs, the practitioner may invite self-awareness, mindful attention, and exploration of internal experiences, within the scope of massage therapy/bodywork.
I agree to inform my practitioner of any relevant changes in my health and to seek appropriate care for conditions outside the scope of massage therapy/bodywork.
Disclosure of Medical Information
I have informed the massage therapist of all known physical conditions, medical conditions, and medications, and I will keep the massage therapist updated on any changes. I understand that the practitioner cannot be held responsible for issues resulting from my failure to disclose relevant information.
Risks and Liability
I understand that the risks associated with massage therapy/bodywork include, but are not limited to: superficial bruising, temporary inflammation of tissues, short-term muscle soreness, and aggravation of previously undiscovered injuries. I therefore release the massage therapist from liability for injuries that may occur during the massage session.
I understand and agree to abide by the therapist’s policies and will not hold the therapist responsible for personal injury or loss of property.
