COVID – 19 & Massage Therapy

Massage Therapy is a great alternative health care modality to support and even boost your immune system, but you must still exercise caution. Massage Therapy can increase the activity level of the body’s white blood cells that work to combat viruses and is a part of a complete alternative regimen to strengthen the body against invaders. Chiropractic, Naturopathy, Acupuncture, Massage, Supplements, and Staying Active are all ways you can take control of your own health in this time of increased need.

What Steps Are We Taking To Protect Our Employees and Patients :

We want to make sure that if you are choosing to receive care at our clinic during this time of heightened exposure risk we are taking the necessary precautions to keep our clinic sanitized as well as maximize social distance when at all possible. Here are a few of our safety measures to ensure employee and patient wellbeing at this time:

We have multiple HEPA filters throughout the facility and in each massage room to increase air turnover 5x per hour. We use MERV 13 air filtration in our heating and cooling system.
Our front desk staff work through the barriers at check in and check out.
Our electronic payments require no signature or patient handled iPad interaction, we handle it all on our end for you, so no unnecessary exposure.
We have enacted a mobile check-in option by simply texting our front office at 253-970-8256 when you park your car. You may wait in your vehicle or outside until your Therapist is ready for your session when you are promptly texted to enter the building. Our waiting room remains open and you are always welcome, at a proper social distance of course. : )
We use fresh linens, towels, face cradle covers, pillow cases for each patient. Always have, and always will.
Vinyl barriers are on tables and pillows for easy sanitization between patients.
We sanitize each treatment room between each session. This includes treatment table, face cradle, door and handles, bolsters, clothing hooks, chair, floor, counter surfaces, all treatment tools and bottles. This may take a few extra minutes, and we appreciate your understanding if the Therapist is running a few minutes behind.
We have 3 Ozone generators which are deployed nightly in the massage hallway, main hallway/waiting area and office hallway/desk area.
We do deep cleans during the week, including the floors in all walkways and common areas. Floors in treatment rooms are sanitized between each patient as well as nightly.
On Saturday after we close for the day, we start a 24 hour complete disinfecting process to renew the clinic for the week ahead.
