Ohio Licensed Massage Therapist soft opening effective May 1st
Allow all Licensed Massage Therapist to perform massage sessions privately with one client per therapist at a time in the facility starting as of Friday May 1st 2020. All necessary precautions and sanitation protocols approved by the State of Ohio and the local board of health will be followed. (ie. checking therapists and clients temperatures prior to treatment and answering a short questionnaire related to the clients current health condition/symptoms.) Our service needs to be recognized and deemed as an essential business so we can better service our community. Servicing one client at a time (while wearing mask and gloves) poses little to no risk of spreading the virus.
Why is this important?
To provide a service to the client that is helpful in promoting both physical and mental well being. In addition it ensures the continued survival of the independent Massage Therapist professionals; who are facing certain and perhaps grave financial hardship.
