NOTICE: The Mindful Body Massage COVID-19 Update

Hello! I hope you and your loved ones have remained healthy as we continue to navigate our way through these unprecedented times. I know the changes we have had to make in the past several months have not been easy, but knowing that we are potentially saving lives makes the sacrifices we’ve made worthwhile.

 As most of you are aware, massage therapists in Kentucky have been given permission to reopen as early as May 25, as long as we can meet the reopening guidelines including proper social distancing and the ability to provide required Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). Specifically, massage therapist PPE requirements are:

·         2-weeks’ worth of protective gowns that cover the arms

·         2-weeks’ worth of gloves

·         2-weeks’ worth of eye protection

·         2-weeks’ worth of face masks

The recommended guidelines massage therapists must follow include:

·         Client’s temperature must be taken before the beginning of each session

·         Clients must remain in a face-down position

·         Clients must be screened to see if they exhibit any symptoms of COVID-19

·         Clients must wear face masks at all times before, during and after the session

·         Clients with one or more of the conditions that would place the client at high risk if they were to contract the COVID-19 virus cannot receive services at this time. Conditions include, but are not limited to, cardiovascular disease, obesity, diabetes, respiratory system disease, etc.

In light of these requirements, I do not believe it to be possible for clients to receive a quality massage. In addition, my son has an underlying health condition which puts him in the high-risk category should he become infected with COVID-19. For these reasons I have made the difficult decision to remain closed at this time.  I hope you can understand why I’m choosing to err on the side of caution.

Your gift certificates and/or any other voucher you possess will not expire and can be used once The Mindful Body Massage reopens. I will keep in touch to let you known when a re-opening day has been determined.  Thank you so much for your patronage and your patience as we face this global pandemic.
