If you have a fever or believe you may have COVID, please self-test and reschedule your appointment.
Thank you.

The procedures outlined below are the emergency steps implemented by The Right Massage Therapy during the COVID pandemic in order to ensure that each massage therapy session took place in the healthiest possible environment. A number of the procedures, such as use of a HEPA air purifier, HEPA system built into the HVAC ventilation, availability of hand sanitizers, and HEPA filter vacuuming remain in place for your health and safety. There is a private bathroom used solely by clients.

Arrival

  • Only clients are allowed into the building.
  • Kindly arrive five minutes early for your appointment. Text me from your car when you arrive, and I will text you to come in.
  • Bring in only your car keys, payment envelope, and cellphone. I request you leave pocketbooks, backpacks, etc. locked in your car.
  • Upon entering, I will provide you with a new mask. Please keep it on throughout your session. I also will use a five-second, non-contact thermometer to verify your temperature is below the CDC fever standard of 100.4°F. If you have a fever, we will reschedule the appointment.
  • Please hang up your jacket on the coat stand in the entrance hall and place your shoes below it. Use the umbrella stand if needed.
  • Please use the bathroom and thoroughly wash your hands. Come directly into the studio upon leaving the bathroom.
  • In the studio I have provided a sanitized receptable for you to place your clothes/belongings.

Massage session

  • Clients find breathing through a mask is comfortable while lying face down on the table. However, if you are uncomfortable, let me know and I will attach a mask underneath the face cradle. You need to be comfortable as well as safe.
  • While I wear a disposable mask, face shield, and gloves throughout, they do not affect treatment. 
  • At the end of the session, I will, as usual, leave the room and return when you are dressed to discuss how you feel and suggest wellness information. We will maintain social distance.

My preparations for your session

  • I adhere to the CDC safety precautions for COVID-19: thorough and frequent hand washing, wearing a mask in public, and social distancing. I take my temperature several times a day and will cancel an appointment if I have any symptoms whatsoever.
  • All surfaces you or I might touch during your session—in the entrance hall, bathroom, and massage studio (including all doorknobs, bolster, and the massage table)—have been thoroughly cleaned and treated beforehand with a medical grade disinfectant (CaviCide).
  • The studio’s sliding door has been opened before you arrive to ensure air exchange.
  • A HEPA air purifier runs continuously in the studio.
  • The HVAC ventilation has been outfitted with an ultraviolet unit to sterilize contaminants.
  • The room is vacuumed with a high-grade HEPA filter.
  • Hand sanitizers are readily available along with covered receptacles for used tissues.
  • Following each session, the sheets and my clothes are laundered. I dress in fresh clothes and don new gloves, new mask, and new face shield before entering the space for the next appointment.
  • A minimum of 90 minutes separates appointments to clean and disinfect the entranceway, bathroom, and studio.
