Informed Consent
I understand that massage given here is for the purpose of stress reduction, relief from muscular tension or spasm or for increase circulation and energy flow. If I experience any pain or discomfort during this session, I will immediately inform the massage therapist so that the pressure and/or strokes may be adjusted to my level of comfort.
I further understand that the massage therapist does not diagnose an illness or disease. As such, the massage therapist does not prescribe medical treatments or medications, in addition, does not perform spinal manipulations.
It has been made clear to me that massage therapy is not a substitute for medical exam and/or diagnosis and it is recommended that I see a physician for any physical ailment I might have. Because the massage therapist must be aware of existing physical conditions, I have stated all my known medical conditions and take it upon myself to keep the massage therapist updated on my physical health.
I also understand that any illicit or sexually suggestive remarks or advances made by me will result in immediate termination of the session; and I will be liable for payment of the scheduled appointment.
