It is important for you to know that I take health wellness seriously.
While I am very conscious about being careful to clean and take all necessary steps (and then some) that are authorized by OHA, The State of Oregon, and OBMT; there is not enough science at this moment to support 100% verified effectiveness in Covid-19 protection. With this in mind, here are things you need to know about receiving massage right now.
Coronavirus/Covid-19 is a new virus that we are continuing to learn more about.
It is an illness that can spread from person to person. COVID19 symptoms can range from no symptoms at all to mild to severe and may have a negative impact on respiratory and cardiovascular systems including blood clots and strokes.
Massage therapy and bodywork involves
sustained contact, touch, and close physical proximity over an extended period of time so that there may be an elevated risk of communicable disease transmission, including COVID-19.
What can you do to help be covid compliant while receiving massage?
You tested covid positive a while back and no longer have symptoms. Can you receive massage?
Once your symptoms have been gone for 14 days then it is fine for you to receive massage. As with any other pathology, I want you to be informed and knowledgeable about your body. Please be aware that there is much to learn about covid in the coming months. Current science shows that covid positive clients can have blood clots systemically throughout their body. Massage can stir the circulatory system, inadvertently moving / dislodging clots. This does not mean “be scared” or that “you can never have massage again”. It only means that I want you to be informed and knowledgeable in your choices.

Do you have to wear a mask while receiving massage?
Yes and no. In the position where you lay face down, a mask is not mandatory as other adjustments are made to to the table for protected breathing. In any other position, yes a mask is needed.

What can you do to help be covid compliant while receiving massage?
- Fill out your pre-session intake form that gets sent to your email. This is so important.
- Think about how you are feeling in general. Do you have a new or worsening cough, lethargy, temperature, respiratory shortness of breath, extreme digestive distress? These are symptoms that can point to many different things. Please reschedule for a future time. Yes massage is a wonderful thing to look forward to. I know rescheduling is an emotional and physical let down. But it is so much safer and considerate to re-book when you feel good and gain the full benefit of massage, as well as knowing you are being safe for others.
- Vaccinated or not, please wear a mask when you arrive. If you do not have one, let me know and I can provide you with one.
- Bring your own water. At this time I am unable to offer refreshments.
- Think “minimalist” in what you bring to the office. This means take off any jewelry and leave extra bags / purses / unneeded layers at home or in your vehicle before coming in to the office. The less you have with you means the fewer items that random germs can attach to.

What am I doing to be covid compliant?
- I have basically revamped practically all office and treatment furniture. This includes replacing all upholstered chairs to faux leather for easy cleaning between sessions. I purchased a HEPA air filtration machine to clean the air, invested in lidded trash and laundry receptacles, and replaced all basket cabinetry with solid closed doors and drawers.
- I now have scheduled 45 minutes in between each session so that I can give full attention to cleaning as well as my own personal needs that help me to be completely present for you during your session time.
- The treatment table is sanitized and then made fresh each session from top to bottom new and includes protective cover, sheets, blanket, all needed towels and pillow cases.
- You will find me wearing my mask during your session regardless of your vaccination status.
- Hand sanitizer is readily available in multiple locations for your convenience.
What does session check in look like now?
- Arrive 5 minutes early for the check in process. It is completely understandable that life and hurried situations happen. Purposing to arrive a few minutes early lends respect to being able to receive that maximum benefit to your therapeutic session time.
- If you need a mask please let me know and I can provide you with one on your arrival.
- If you have a fever or symptoms of cough or respiratory shortness of breath; we will need to reschedule. There is no penalty fee for this. It is simply to protect your well being as well as that of others.
- Once inside my private office area, we will proceed as normal with discussing how best massage therapy will benefit you at that time.
