Massage Q&A
Frequently Asked Auestions
100% No. Even asking that question can get you reported to the police, and the police around here are awesome about responding to these reports.
A bill was passed in Florida, that went into effect July 1st, 2024, that requires massage therapists to confirm the identification of the customer or patient before providing services or treatment by providing a photo identification. This bill was passed in an effort to deter sex trafficking.
Yes.
The Medical History form
is very important because there are some conditions that make it medically unsafe to perform a massage.
Examples: If you do a massage on a person with a certain heart condition you can cause them to code. If you have uncontrolled diabetes a massage could make you pass out. If you are being treated for cancer I would require a Doctors note to say they are ok with you getting a massage.
​
The Policy Form
is so you know my rules and guidelines.
When picking a space for the massage, please make sure the room has enough space for my massage table (70 x 21 x 25) and there is enough room for me to be able to walk around the table. Also, I will need access to one plug-in outlet, so being close to one is important.
Do you weigh less than 300 lbs.? If yes, then my ultra-light travel sized aluminum portable massage table will work great for you. If you weigh more than 300 lbs., please let me know so other arrangements can be made.
Yes.
No. It will take me a little while to get things set up. During that time we can discuss your forms, massage issues, etc. or many people take the time to use the restroom.
It usually takes me about 3 to 5 minutes to get set up.
My job is to massage you, not to judge how you keep your house. Although I must say I do need a cleared path to the room I will be doing the massage in, a cleared area for my table and myself, and room to walk around the table.
If you could have two pillows that I could use, that would be appreciated. Also, if you tend to get cold, having an extra blanket close by would be recommended too.
Bon Vital Massage Cream with Fractionated Coconut Oil.
No. These are the massages I do not do.
Absolutely.
Sorry, but no. At this time I am not educated enough on the matter.
During a massage, I must have some dim lighting. That can come from the daylight coming in through the blinds, a lamp, or a light with a dimmer.
No. I love animals, but because animals might see me as a threat, and they can be a distraction, they need to be in another area.
If they are a baby, it is best to have someone else there to watch them. Otherwise, it is your massage. I have had parents let their kids watch movies on a tablet and that works great.
Yes. I massage children ages 7 to 18. A consent form by a guardian must be signed prior to the massage, along with the guardian's license or if the child is old enough to drive the child's driver's license must be acquired prior to the massage. This is in accordance with the Florida law. I offer the same massage times as adults and at the same price.
No. Couple massages take two massage therapists. The massages will be back to back.
No. That can cross the line into creepy.
You can, but it is not required. Although, taking a hot shower shortly before a massage can help your muscles loosen up, which in turn can help you get more out of your massage.
For new clients I do not do same days appointments for safety reasons. I need time to make review your intake form, etc.
Currently I am scheduling a week out. Yes, I have a cancelation list. If you would like to be a part of a cancelation list, please text me "add me to your cancelation list."
I can offer an online 30-minute movement therapy session for you. In the session I will treat you by using a specific good movement to significantly improve a bad movement. Examples of a bad movement might be if you have a knee that hurts going up steps or an arm that is weak when lifting weights. I have been doing this therapy for the past 5 years and have found that it typically only takes one online session for significate improvement. It is a lot cheaper than an in-home massage but still has the benefit of not having to leave your home. Plus, I can currently get you scheduled a lot quicker than an in-home massage. All you need is the ability to do a video call and like an in-home massage, your address must read Huntsville or Madison Alabama.
