I also understand that the massage therapist/practitioner does not diagnose illnesses or injuries or prescribe medications. I have clearance from my physician to receive massage therapy.
a. I understand the risks associated with massage therapy/neuro-stim MPS include but are not limited to: – Superficial bruising – Short-term muscle soreness Exacerbation of undiscovered injury – Detoxing – Soreness after stretching

I give my permission to receive massage therapy, and therapeutic/medical massage is not a substitute for medical treatment or medication. Patient also will prepare and disrobe to their comfortability. Ex.(shorts/undergarments) or personal preference.

I therefore release the company/individual massage therapist from all liabilities concerning these injuries or treatment modalities used during your session.

I understand the importance of informing my massage therapist of all medical conditions and medications I am taking, and to let the massage therapist know about any changes to these. I understand that there may be additional risks based on my physical condition.

I understand that it is my responsibility to inform my massage therapist during the session, not afterwards of any discomfort but not limited to pressure, draping, in positioning body or head. So, the massage therapist can adjust or change or drape over accordingly. This would include while massaging or MPS treatments/scar Therapy, draping does move during session, but is required to all areas and including all Male or Female areas. These areas will be covered with sheet/blanket or towels during full session period.

I understand that I (Patient) or the massage therapist may terminate the session at any time but patient will be charged for full session.

I understand that if I am having MPS/Scar Therapy, I give my therapist permission to treat scars on areas that include abdominal/hip scars, upper extremities or lower extremities, head/neck/spine and will be draped according. We require at least 5 to 8 sessions for Scar Release Therapy. Decided during Initial Evaluation session

Inappropriate Behavior Policy — Massage therapy is for relaxation and therapeutic purpose only. There is no sexual component to massage whatsoever. Any insinuation, joke, gesture, conversation, or request otherwise will result in immediate termination of your session and a refusal of all services in the future. You will be charged the full-service fee regardless of the length of your session. You are required during your session to info your therapist of draping moving and release therapist of risk of any hand positioning while treatments are being completed, for this professional session. Treat your therapist with respect and dignity and you will be treated the same in return.

I have been given a chance to ask questions about the massage therapy session and my questions have been professionally answered.
