SCOPE OF PRACTICE
Massage therapy is a profession in which the practitioner applies manual techniques, and may apply adjunctive therapies, to positively affect the health and well-being of the client. Massage Therapists do not diagnose or prescribe for medical conditions nor are they allowed to provide treatment for a specific condition without a doctor's supervision. The massage therapist is required to refer you for diagnosis and to follow the recommendations of your physician. The massage therapist is happy to adjust pressure, and table temperature, work longer on an area, or move on if you request it.
MEDICAL CONDITIONS
It is the client's responsibility to keep the massage therapist informed of any medical treatment currently being taken, and to provide written permission from the physician, physical therapist, etc., that the massage may be continued. The client must also inform the massage therapist of any changes in health conditions.
POST-TREATMENT SORENESS & RECOVERY
Massage therapy is not medical diagnosis or medical treatment. Severe, worsening, unusual, or persistent pain, numbness, weakness, significant swelling, loss of function, difficulty moving, or other concerning symptoms should be evaluated by an appropriate licensed healthcare provider.
I understand that temporary soreness, tenderness, stiffness, aching, fatigue, or discomfort can occur following clinical massage or bodywork. I understand that these effects can develop after the session, may sometimes persist for several days, and may occur even if I have received massage therapy previously without experiencing these effects. I understand that individual responses to treatment vary.
CANCELLATION POLICY
Our goal is to provide quality care in a timely manner. In order to do so, we have had to implement an appointment/cancellation policy. Appointments are in high demand, and your early cancellation will give another person the opportunity to have access to timely care. This policy enables us to better utilize available appointments for our clients.
If you need to cancel or reschedule your appointment you must call at least 24 hours prior to your appointment, providing less than 24 hours' notice will require you to pay the full-service price as a fee. If you arrive more than 15 minutes late for your appointment without notice it is considered a no-show and you will be charged the full-service price to your card on file.
