Paperwork
Prior to your appointment, please fill out and bring with you to your appointment the Massage Intake Form. If you make your appointment online, you do not have to download and fill out the intake form. A new form needs to be completed each academic year. In completing your massage therapy intake form, it is important that you disclose any medical conditions and concerns you may have. There are certain situations in which massage therapy is contraindicated, meaning it is not recommended, when administered to a person with specific medical conditions. Sometimes a condition will require a medical provider’s clearance before services are provided, but often our skilled therapists can modify their treatment to accommodate your condition. At the time of your appointment, your massage therapist will review your intake form with you and discuss any medical conditions and concerns you may have to determine if massage therapy is appropriate and safe.

What to Wear
Massage is about comfort. We recommend that you wear what makes you feel comfortable. This could include wearing nothing at all or your undergarments. At all times during the massage, your body will be covered by a sheet except for the body part being massaged. At no time are private areas of your body exposed. Additionally, we use massage creams because they absorb quickly and moisturize the skin. We also find that massage creams are less greasy than oils and wash out more easily from clothing.
Tipping
It is your personal decision whether or not you provide tips to our massage therapists.
Appointments/Cancellation Policy
We require at least 24-hours notice if you must cancel your massage therapy appointment. If you do not cancel your appointment within the 24-hours you will be billed for the massage. Please call (603) 862-3823 to cancel your appointment. If you are a student, you can cancel your appointment online. Due to confidentiality, you may not make or cancel appointments for other people.
