Our Massage Therapy Appointment Standards
Coming in for a massage treatment at elite healers sports massage is an experience greater than just having oil spread on your body; it’s about getting results that improve your quality of life. We have made it our goal and duty to provide a therapeutic experience rooted in anatomy, pathology, sports medicine, and massage therapy. Our team is trained to uphold the highest standards in medical massage and sports massage to give you a customized experience.
While each massage therapy treatment is different we make sure to practice the proper fundamentals in order to better understand your specific needs, so we can produce the highest quality results for you.
Before you get on the table to receive your first massage from us we will ask questions to get an idea of what is bothering you, the symptoms , how long it has been going on, along with any other relevant questions or basic assessment tests. We will also ask you a few relevant questions about your health history, to prevent accidents and maximize results.
We will keep an ongoing file (known as a soap note) so we can create value to you by knowing what we did on what day and how it progressed from before to after the session. This also allows us to come up with long term game-plans to help you move better, feel less (or no) pain and improve the quality of your life. Don’t worry we stay hipaa compliant and won’t reveal your private information.
All the information taken in the session not only allows your therapist to maximize the value of each and every session but also allows you to try different therapists but not have to explain to them every last detail, over and over again.
