PLEASE TAKE A MOMENT TO CAREFULLY READ THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION
Massage/Bodywork is provided for the basic purpose of relaxation and relief of muscular tension. If any pain or discomfort is experienced during the session you should immediately inform the therapist so that the pressure and/or strokes may be adjusted to your level of comfort. Also Massage/Bodywork should not be construed as a substitute for medical examination, diagnosis, or treatment and you should consult a physician, chiropractor, or other qualified medical specialist for any mental or physical ailment that you are aware of. Also understand that Massage/Bodywork therapists are not qualified to perform spinal or skeletal adjustments, diagnose, prescribe, or treat any physical or mental illness, and that nothing said in the course of the session should be construed as such.
