As with any therapeutic environment, being fully present has an impact on the effectiveness of your treatment. We recommend that you put your ringer on silent, refrain from taking or making phone calls during your session and taking any other steps needed to minimize interruptions. Please remember that using any pain killers before your appointment is contraindicated as you may not be able to sense pressure changes adequately. For your greatest comfort, we recommend that you use the bathroom, remove contact lenses and eye makeup, and refrain from eating or drinking for 30 minutes prior to your appointment. Please let us know if you have any allergies or sensitivities.
*To minimize risk of injury to the massage therapist and ensure that your ongoing massage experiences are the best that they can be, we will assist you in purchasing your very own massage table for future appointments.
Please note: Massage therapy, exercise and aromatherapy are not intended as a replacement for appropriate medical attention and care. Touch Fitness reserves the right to refer you to an appropriate professional if our initial conversation reveals an issue beyond the scope of practice of licensed massage therapy.
Thank you for reviewing the Touch Fitness Policies page. When we meet for your appointment we will expect that you have read, understood and agreed to all of these policies. If questions remain for you or you require clarification please email any inquiry to Sherrin@TouchFitness.com so that we may confirm your appointment with confidence.
