Re-open Massage Therapy
Allow a licensed massage therapy professional to perform a massage service/ privately with one client in the salon / per therapist at a time starting as of Monday, April 27, 2020. All necessary precautions and sanitation protocols approved by the state of CO and the local Board of Health will be followed. Our industry needs to be recognized & deemed as an essential business so we can better serve our community.
Servicing one client at a time (while wearing PPE as required) poses little to no risk of spreading the virus, as compared to 20 or more people in a grocery store or 10 plus people at restaurants picking up food.

Why is this important?
Human touch is an essential need that we have been without for what seems an eternity. This may seem unimportant but while we are being distanced we are creating more and more stress in our lives. Massage therapy is more than just a feel good therapy... it absolutely reduces stress, mental anguish, and anxiety. All of these can contribute to weakened immune systems and a less productive community.
Please support this proposal and allow massage professionals to return to work and allow us to contribute to the well being of our city.
