Frequently Asked Questions

Table of Contents

 

 

Are there any reasons you can't have massage?

You will complete a Client History form in person at your initial visit or print  (complete and return) one from our web site. The form is thoroughly reviewed with you.
Massage can be performed after viral or bacterial infections are cleared up.
If necessary, you will be asked for permission to speak with your doctor and request his/her permission to proceed with massage for the following conditions:

  • blood disorders such as hemophilia (bleeder)

  • kidney disorders - vascular disease such as self/family history of aneurysm, strokes, heart failure

  • gastrointestinal such as diverticulitis

surgery (USUALLY OK after one month)

 

Why do I need a therapist that is nationally certified, and a member of the AMTA?

 

This is important because the NCBTMB and the AMTA require at least 500 hours of training, and proof of the knowledge and   skills necessary to meet client needs. In addition, therapists have to uphold standards set by the AMTA and  NCTMB Code of Ethics.

What does multidisciplinary mean?

 

This is when we use a few techniques   (a.k.a.  modalities or disciplines) to increase the effectiveness your session.  If you have a question about the therapeutic benefits of massage, please take a moment to send us your questions. Jeff may not be able to answer all questions personally, but many questions will be added to the web site as an educational tool.
