We are open during these unprecedented times. However, we are required to follow strict guidelines in order to keep you the patient and we the providers safe from transmission of Covid-19.
Governor Inslee’s proclamation 20-25 allows health care providers to continue essential health services, which includes massage therapy. But we have a list of required actions we must follow in order to remain open.
We may only provide massage services to patients with urgent medical issues. “Examples include, but are not limited to, lymphatic drainage issues, moderate to severe whiplash, and acute pain control. ” We must screen each patient for symptoms of respiratory illness, which include fever, cough or difficulty breathing. We must ask that you the patient implement self-care measures as much as possible. Hydrate, rest, stretch, move your body if possible when appropriate, and try some self massage. We will also be required to stager appointments, meaning you may be asked to come in at another time to keep at least 6 feet of distance between you and another patient.
If our providers display any respiratory symptoms they will be required to reschedule your appointment. All providers will be wearing personal protective coverings during your treatment. We will also be continuously wiping down all surfaces you or someone else may have come into contact with, so please do not get offended if we sanitized as you walk out of the door.
We will get through this together and as always we appreciate your business. Stay safe, stay healthy, and call 509-453-1420 if you have any questions.
God Bless
