Are you being treated by a physician for a condition other than cancer?______
It is my choice to receive massage therapy. I will communicate with my practitioner any time I feel as though my wellbeing is being compromised. I understand that massage therapists do not diagnose illness, disease or any physical or mental disorder, nor do they prescribe medical treatment or pharmaceuticals. I acknowledge that massage is not a substitute for medical examination or diagnosis, and that it is recommended that I see a primary health care provider for that service. If under treatment for cancer, I have informed my massage therapist of any limitations or restrictions. I have stated all medical conditions of which I am aware, including communicable diseases, and I will promptly inform my massage therapist of any issues that arise during the massage.
