I'll Be Back Soon!

6/6/2020

Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, Gov. Gretchen Whitmer temporarily banned all massage therapy as of March, 2020.  She has recently rescinded  that Executive Order, and as of June 15, 2020, all licensed massage therapists will be able to practice again in Michigan. I am currently working on updating my policies to keep myself and my clients safe, and ordering the products that will be necessary to do so. I will be reaching out to clients next week to schedule appointments!

Massage During Cold and Flu Season

3/4/2018

0 Comments

 
Many of my clients will ask me, "Should I cancel my massage if I'm sick?" My answer is "Yes, please!" Massage is great for lots of things, but it’s not great for a body fighting a virus or infection. Getting a massage when you’re sick takes your body’s attention away from infection fighting. It might sound strange, but many people find that they end up feeling worse after receiving a massage when they have a cold or the flu.
Please cancel your appointment if:
  • You have experienced nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea in the past 24 hours, or are still recovering from a recent bout of such things.
  • If you’ve had a fever in the past 24 hours, or are experiencing chills, aches, and/or fatigue.
  • If you are itchy, runny, stuffy, sneezy, and/or coughy and you’re not 100% certain it’s allergies. Even if it is allergies, consider that lying on the massage table for an hour or so may leave you pretty uncomfortable, and you might end up feeling worse after your session.
If you’re unsure about your situation, please don’t hesitate to call and hash it out with me. I am happy to waive the cancellation fee for sickness as long as you let me know ahead of your appointment.
