Massage in a time
of COVID-19
The reality
is there is no Safe.
There is only Safer.
Is Getting
a Massage Safe? The short answer: Nothing is entirely safe right now. All we can strive for is safer. Massage Therapy is governed by the Department
of Health. "There is no method to completely remove the risk of person-to-person spread of COVID-19 in a massage setting." Massage Therapy, along with other personal care, hands-on
services - manicurists, pedicurists, hairstylists - are considered high risk. Please review: & prior to your appointment. It is up to YOU to make
the best informed decision about YOUR health.
Following proper precautions make us safer!
To maximize safety: - Review Policies & Procedures.
- Screening - 24-Hour Pre-Session Check-in/Update.
- No-touch Temperature Check upon arrival. (100.4 F or 38 C would require rescheduling.)
- Facemasks
when mandated or as requested. (I will provide if you do not have.) (*Pillowcase cradle 'mask' option is available while
face down.)
- Sanitize hands. (Alcohol-based hand sanitizer
will be provided.)
Do
No Harm
What You Can Expect From Me: - Screening and Safety Procedures.

Temperature Check - mine, as well as yours. (100.4 F or 38 C would require rescheduling.)

- Stringent disinfecting: Linens, straps, dispensers, handrails, door handles, light

- Client Follow-up
at one week, and then again at two weeks. If a risk of infection exposure reveals, you will be notified.
- Massage/COVID-19 Safety Training, as well as AMTA CE's
and mandates to keep educated, updated and informed.
