Thank you for taking the time to read this short but important statement.
The purpose of this statement is to determine what is and what is not acceptable,
and to establish professional boundaries, I welcome questions and will try to accomadate
your needs regarding the procedures laid out in these three pages.
I am looking forward to meeting you.
My goal is to provide the highest quality care (Massage Therapy and Myofascial Therapy) to those who seek professional service. I perform only those services for which I am qualified.
My practice does require an initial “intake interview” and the completion of an intake form.
More details you will find on page two and page three.
Intake Interviews: Talking Hands offers a variety of services; therefore I have two types of initial intake interviews developed. They are different in duration and the initial evaluation and physical assessment as part of your first appointment. The “Standard intake interview” is designed for a regular client who seeks treatment for relaxation, nourishment, or stress reduction (75 min). Massage Therapy would be the modality to meet those needs. Symptoms
are mild and usually tightness or stiffness.
The “Comprehensive intake interview” (90 min) is used with acute and chronic pain patients, Worker’s Compensation patients, and individuals with injuries who primarily seek treatment for pain relief. Myofascial therapy is best suited for this problem. For those individuals a medical history sheet and a different evaluation need to be completed and the best approach in treatment has to be determined. Symptoms are dull ache, sharp pain, soreness, tingling, numbness, cold fingers or feeds, etc.
