__________________________________________________________________________
NEW OFFICE LOCATION as of MARCH 1, 2020!
425 S Lombard Street, Clayton, NC 27520
COVID-19 / CORONAVIRUS UPDATE:
Updates
to this information will be made daily/hourly, as needed, depending on CDC, NC
Health Department, Governor Cooper, and/or our OWN Assessment of
Current Conditions...
- ONLY seeing
clients/patients for MEDICALLY NECESSARY appointments.
- ONLY seeing EXISTING
Clients/Patients or NEW Clients/Patients with
Physician/Healthcare Referrals.
- ALL Home
Visits have been DEFERRED INDEFINITELY.
- PLEASE do NOT bring
into the office any more PERSONAL ITEMS other than those
ABSOLUTELY needed for your session. Please avoid bringing in purses
or bags, unless they are in plastic bags we can disinfect, as we work
to limit secondary contacts. Note: COMBS for your
PERSONAL use are now available at the office. We will store it for you in your own PERSONAL
bag for your use after future sessions.
- We are SURE you
will understand the need for text/email/telephone
conversations/discussions prior to your appointments as we
implement our new COVID-19 Assessment Protocols.
- We are staggering
client/patient appointments to ensure we can provide INCREASED
DISINFECTION PROTOCOLS ~ yes, even more stringent
that our usual protocols ~ in between ALL appointments. So, please
understand, even though we have multiple suites now in our new
offices, our Appointment Availability may be significantly
more LIMITED as we practice a continued abundance of
caution. And, with the increased disinfection protocols, we may need
some patience from you on your start times as we fine tune our
processes. We are focused on thoroughness rather than speed,
so please bear with us if we delay your start time a bit here and
there. Once our Front Door is unlocked, it is safe to enter.
We will text you if there is any delay!
- For the health
of our clients/patients, as well as ourselves, an antimicrobial/anti-viral
filtering system was installed when we moved into our new offices
on March 1, 2020. At present we are constantly recirculating
the air in our office through this system. Should you be
too chilled from the constant airflow, please let us know so we can
provide you with additional heating options or sanitized
blankets/coverings.
- Our therapists
and their family members have all implemented EXTREME social
distancing protocols when NOT in our office seeing
clients/patients. We STRONGLY encourage you and your family
members to ALSO set an example of extreme social distancing to ensure
we, as a community, break the chain of contact spread of this highly
contagious, infectious virus.
- We ABSOLUTELY
understand and believe it is PRUDENT to discuss and/or cancel/reschedule
your appointments out of concern for personal or family potential risks. We GREATLY
appreciate the thoughtfulness and concern many of you have expressed to us
as small business owners, but, as always, Your Health and the Health of
Your Loved Ones is our HIGHEST priority.

Our Practice Philosophy
Our clients tell us, “your office is a place of
healing.” All sessions are customized to meet your individual
requirements for every appointment you have with us whether you want, or need,
pain reduction work, an overall relaxation experience, specific spot work, or
treatment for a condition/issue or a combination of any of the above! At
Medical Touch Massage, we’ve brought together a group of like-minded licensed
Massage Therapists to work with many different types of clients and patients
using Massage, Bodywork, and other skills, within our scope of practice, to
help however we can.
Many of our clients seem to prefer our focus on
current troublesome or chronic pain issues, but we have extensive training and education
on multiple other aspects of health and wellness utilizing the incredible
benefits of Massage. Our goal in this
work is not only to soothe the aches and pains of everyday life but also to
improve the overall condition of your muscles and soft tissues, help with pain
reduction, restore mobility to muscles and their associated joints, and assist
with longer term improvement in our clients’ health and well-being
While many of our Licensed Therapists have experienced
instances of extraordinary results for individual clients, we do have to make
you aware that if your body feels like it has recently been "at war"
with itself, you shouldn't expect, nor may we be able to deliver, the
achievement of "world peace" in one massage session!
Lymphatic & Lymphedema Work: Catherine Newton, NC LMBT 14165
is a Certified Lymphatic Therapist (CLT) and has passed her 135 hour training
at one of the six approved North America Courses by the National Lymphedema
Network (NLN) and the Lymphology Association of North America (LANA). Catherine
is certified to provide Manual Lymph Drainage (MLD) for
multiple conditions and Compressive Decongestive Therapy (CDT) to
address Lymphedema & Swelling Disorders. She is also certified
to measure and order compressive garments and devices. Catherine also has
over 10 years of experience in MLD & CDT for Lymphedema patients, and has
taken all the course work required by LANA to take her CLT-LANA exam. She expects to earn her CLT-LANA designation within
the next 12 months.
According to North Carolina State Law in 2009, insurance companies are
required to pay for treatment for Lymphedema patients. We will work
with our individual Lymphedema patients to accommodate their specific insurance
billing situations as needed.
Aromatherapy:
Several of our therapists are trained to use
safely use Aromatherapy Essential Oils during sessions or in specific custom
blended products. A number of our therapists are well on their way to
completing their 100 hour Clinical Aromatherapy Certification. We do
NOT participate in ANY multi-level marketing programs for essential oils. Our essential oils are primarily sourced from
a trusted North Carolina Aromatherapy master we know and trust to ensure you
are receiving the highest therapeutic grade oils and products as possible.
We do offer an assortment of our own custom
blended lotions, body butters, creams and oil blends to assist in pain
reduction; salt & sugar scrubs for wellness and overall skin health, insect
& tick repellants, and other specialized lotions, creams, soaps, body
butters, inhalers, rollers and aromatherapy jewelry you may enjoy! They
are called "Magic Potions" because that's what all of our clients
asked for after they sampled a few!
LOCATION:
We're conveniently located in Clayton, North
Carolina at 425 S Lombard Street between US70 Business Highway and Main Street in Clayton. We are correctly "pinned" and noted on Google Maps - though our move on March 1, 2020 might affect it - we are NOW in the former Fox Realty Management location. Our office is located on a corner in a lovely white cape cod home with a Red Awning. Parking is on either side of the street next to our offices. Come in via our front door - two steps. Should you need to use our Accessible Entrance, please let us know so we can ensure it is unlocked for your convenience.
Please be aware:
♦ If you have RECENTLY (within the last TWO weeks) been in a Motor Vehicle Accident, for YOUR health
& safety, we will need a medical release from your physician, ER, urgent
care, or other appropriate healthcare provider before you can receive
massage. Massage can be EXTREMELY beneficial in the first week following
a motor vehicle accident, but we DO NOT diagnose or prescribe, nor do we have
access/skill to read radiological images, therefore, medical release is
required.
♦ If you require a wheeled or motorized
device for mobility, we DO have an accessible entrance, and a restroom that can accommodate wheeled or motorized device for accessibility.
♦ Due to local regulations/permitting processes, we do not YET have any signage posted that indicates our office is in the former Fox Realty Management location at 425 S. Lombard Street, Clayton, NC 27520. Sometimes different
GPS or cell phone mapping systems may not correctly direct you to our location. Please call if you have any questions/need directions.
PAYMENT:
We accept VISA, MasterCard, Debit Cards or CASH
as payment for any of our Therapeutic Massage & Bodywork Services or
Aromatherapy Products. Gratuities are NEVER expected, but ALWAYS
gratefully received!
We also request pre-payment from new clients for
their first session booked online via MassageBook. Should you prefer
another option or have an insurance billing question, please call or text
Catherine Newton, Clinical Director, at 919-412-4381 to discuss your
preferences.

of any of our services. You will also receive a PDF receipt of your
payment via your email on file that you can use for documentation, tax or

Health Insurance: Do to the drastic differences in coverage
from different health insurance providers and to keep your session expenses as
low as possible, we do not direct-bill any health insurance provider. But we will provide appropriate documentation
for submission to your Health Insurance Provider. Just let us know you
require any other information other than what is included on your receipt - a
PDF will be sent to your email on file. You can use it to self-submit to

will also provide charts/documentation to your physician/healthcare provider
with appropriate signed HIPAA assignments/directions from you. We use a HIPAA-compliant electronic fax

Insurance Payments for Motor Vehicle
Accident/Workman’s Comp: Several
of our Licensed Therapists have significant experience working with chronic
pain issues from a whole variety of causes, workman's comp situations, and
automobile insurance accident situations. With prior approval, we are happy to
bill your workman's comp or auto insurance company as needed.
