The COVID-19 pandemic has changed massage therapy for the foreseeable future. The prolonged, close contact of massage invites the exchange of SARS-CoV-2. Practices that were reasonable before simply aren’t now that the highly contagious novel coronavirus may be floating in the air we breathe and on the surfaces we touch (including our skin, on which the virus survives more than 9 hours). We lack key knowledge about antibodies and immunity. Testing is still not sufficient. New, more contagious strains are emerging. Under these strictures, the long incubation period and possibility of asymptomatic transmission (40-50% of cases) dictate strategic measures to avoid passing the virus during the close contact of bodywork. While many have a mild illness, the stakes for those who develop serious and life-threatening illness are too high to gamble with. "Long COVID" is emerging as another serious complication of infection. So, as we resume massage we’ll be doing some things differently.
Just a few steps to create the safest environment for all at the massage studio.
Massage Protocol Until the Threat of COVID-19 Passes
Please cancel your session without penalty if you have any of these.
Delta variant symptoms are more like a cold and may be mild.
Those in groups known to be more vulnerable to COVID-19 complications, such as immunocompromised, with hypertension, diabetes, cancer or heart disease, or over age 65, may wish to postpone massage therapy longer. But when the time is right, a single therapist private practice like mine is the safer choice because traffic is low (fewer people sharing microbes) and the therapist is personally responsible for all preparations and the appointment schedule. Nothing will get lost in the shuffle and no appointments will be “squeezed in” to satisfy the pursuit of profit. All of which translates to lower risk for you.
Thank you for all your effort to keep practices safe,
allowing massage therapy to continue!

Your payment will not be claimed until your session is less than 24 hours away. $50 will be applied to the cost of service and $2 is a non-refundable administrative fee.

In this era of identity theft, your reluctance to provide credit card data is understandable. This way, only you handle your credit card and the number remains private. Now that coronavirus is circulating, there are also questions around the safety of cash. But if cash is your preference, it is also accepted.
