Medical Disclaimer

The massage therapy services provided by My Healing are intended for pain relief and wellness purposes only. They do not replace:

• Professional medical diagnosis
• Treatment prescribed by licensed healthcare professionals
• Medications prescribed by your doctor
• Emergency medical care

If you have a medical condition, please consult your healthcare provider before beginning any new treatment plan, including massage therapy.

Before your treatment, you must inform the therapist if you have any of the following:

If you have or suspect you have any contagious or infectious condition, you must cancel or reschedule your appointment. This includes:

• Flu, cold, or COVID-19 symptoms
• Fever
• Contagious skin infections
• Any other communicable illness

Receiving treatment while contagious poses a risk to both you and the therapist. Please reschedule — we will not charge a cancellation fee for illness.

Massage therapy is not appropriate under the following circumstances unless cleared by a medical professional:

• Fever, cold, or flu symptoms
• Active cancer treatment (without medical clearance)
• Severe osteoporosis
• Recent heart attack
• Uncontrolled high blood pressure
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) or blood clots
• Open wounds or severe skin conditions in the treatment area

The therapist reserves the right to refuse or modify treatment based on your disclosed conditions for your safety.

To ensure safe and effective treatment:

• Communicate: Provide honest and timely feedback during treatment. If something hurts or feels uncomfortable, tell the therapist immediately.
• Pain levels: Some discomfort during deep tissue work is normal, but sharp or severe pain is not. Speak up.
• Medications: Be aware that painkillers may dull sensations, leading to insufficient feedback and potential over-treatment.

While every effort is made to provide effective pain relief:

• Individual results vary. What works for one person may differ for another.
• One session may not be enough. Depending on your condition, multiple treatments may be required.
• Some temporary soreness is normal. Mild soreness for 24-48 hours after deep tissue work is common and expected.
• Follow aftercare advice. Drink water, rest, and follow any specific recommendations given by your therapist.

By receiving treatment from My Healing Medical Massage Therapy, you acknowledge that:

• You have fully disclosed all relevant medical conditions, medications, and health concerns.
• You understand that massage therapy carries inherent risks and is not a substitute for medical care.
• You release the therapist from liability for any injury, adverse effects, or complications arising from non-disclosure of pertinent medical information.
• You have read and understood this Medical Disclaimer.
