Not always. In fact, massage can be very therapeutic for many medical conditions. However, in the above cases it is best to have advice 3 from your physician. Massage therapists, unless they are also qualified doctors, may not, under law, attempt to diagnose a condition. I have stated all conditions that I am aware of and this information is true and accurate to the best of my knowledge. I will inform my health care provider and massage therapist if anything changes in my status. I understand that massage/bodywork I receive is for the purpose of stress reduction and the relief from muscular tension, spasm or pain and to increase circulation. If I experience any pain or discomfort, I will immediately inform my massage therapist so that the pressure and/or methods can be adjusted to my comfort level. I understand that my massage therapist does not diagnose illness or disease, nor perform any spinal manipulations, and does not prescribe any medications/treatments. I acknowledge that massage is not a substitute for a medical examination or diagnosis and that I should see my health care provider for those services. If I am unable to attend my scheduled appointment, I will respect and abide by the set cancellation policies. Sexual advances, request for sexual favors, and other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature will constitute as sexual harassment and will not be tolerated. I understand that I am receiving massage therapy at my own risk. In the event that I become injured either directly or indirectly as a result, in whole or in part, of the aforesaid massage therapy I hereby hold harmless and indemnify the therapist, their principals, and agents from all claims and liability whatsoever.
