So proud to be a member of this association. Can’t to get back to massaging again. It won’t be soon it will include PPE for clients and Therapists. Meanwhile I’ll continue designing new client intake forms, add to try Policy and Procedure regarding COVID19, risk management. The list seems to be endless.
"Massage therapists cannot socially or spatially distance in the course of a treatment so the industry has to account for some unique challenges in relation to COVID19. We are probably closest to the dental profession in terms of proximity to patients. While allied health overall has made very rapid transitions to telehealth and other strategies that encompass social distancing requirements, massage therapists have had to navigate the cognitive dissonance of being told it is lawful to practice during social distancing whilst being the closest sustained physical contact health intervention there is."
