Purpose of Massage Therapy
I understand that massage therapy is intended to augment wellbeing, reduce pain, increase range of motion and offer a therapeutic experience of touch.
Massage Therapy and Medical Care
I understand that massage therapy is not a substitute for medical treatment or medications, and that it is recommended that I concurrently work with my Primary Care Provider for any condition I may have.
I am aware that the massage therapist does not diagnose illness or disease, does not prescribe medications, and that spinal manipulations are not part of massage therapy.
Disclosure of Medical Information
I have informed the massage therapist of all my known physical conditions, medical conditions, and medications, and I will keep the massage therapist updated on any changes. I understand that there shall be no liability on the practitioner’s part due to my forgetting to relay any pertinent information.
Risks and Liability
I understand the risks associated with massage therapy include, but are not limited to: superficial bruising, temporary inflammation of tissues, short-term muscle soreness, and exacerbation of undiscovered injury. I therefore release the massage therapist from all liability concerning these 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 any personal injury or loss of property.
