HELLO, AND WELCOME!   

I am Joe Orosco, owner and operator of REVIVAL ROOM Massage Therapy here in Fort Atkinson!

This is a second location in FORT ATKINSON for all Rock and Jefferson County residents who would love to visit, without driving to Madison for my main/primary location!  The "REVIVAL ROOM" is ready to go!  

Appointments for Fort Atkinson will be made here.  There will not be a separate scheduling page.  Thank  you for choosing Revival Room in Fort Atkinson.  The goal here is to revive tired and weak muscles; regenerate tight and stiff areas; increase range of motion, and get back to feeling great again!

THIS IS A PLACE FOR HANDSHAKES, HUGS, FREEDOM, AND SMILING FACES!   Everyone is treated like family, not walking biohazards. 

(Maybe that's not your "thing."  No worries, there are plenty of other places you may enjoy visiting instead.) 

• Recently ranked #1 in Madison and surrounding/outlying areas by Massagebook.com (for Monroe Street Massage)
• "ESSENTIAL BUSINESS" on Governor Evers' executive order, March 12, 2020
• My Five-Star Reviews here on Massagebook, or places like Facebook, Google and Groupon, speak for themselves.
• I do not identify as a "small business" because I don't believe in limiting myself in that way.  
• I do not identify as " minority-owned" because quite honestly, there is nothing "minor" about me.

If you are new to massage therapy, or someone who receives massage regularly, thank you for visiting my page!   

For starters, I have 18+ years of experience; originally trained in Phoenix, Arizona.  I have been in Madison for over seven years, and an independent, privately owned and operated massage therapy practice for over ten years total.
 
With a variety of massage techniques to utilize in any particular session, I am confident you'll be happy working with me to achieve pain-free results.  I try to find the cause, and not just treat the symptom(s).

Sessions may include one, or a combination of, the following:

• Orthopedic or therapeutic massage
• Cranial Sacral
• Neuromuscular
• Myofascial release
• Esalen (but with more pressure than a standard Swedish session)
• Sports/deep tissue/active release

My work is focused on providing high-quality service and customer satisfaction.  I will do everything I can to meet your expectations.  In stressful times, results-oriented massage therapy can be a powerful ally in your self-care routine.   
 
Enjoy the benefits of massage by working with me to establish a treatment plan that best suits your budget, schedule, and needs.  I always say every BODY needs a massage from time to time! 

• I have been proudly partnered with many LSM Chiropractic clinics in and around Madison since 2018 and can work with your current chiropractor or physical therapist to help achieve the results you strive for. 
• In October 2019, I was blessed with the opportunity to work with the UW Madison Swim/Dive Team!  I was asked to assist UW Madison Track and Field as needed for their 2020-2021 season before the season was canceled by the Big 10.  
• December 2021 provided me with a great pairing with local radio station, Life 102.5 FM in Madison.  

• ALL are welcome, but I am a privately owned, membership-driven business.  "Membership" means clients pay a recurring monthly rate and have access to additional discounted services and gift cards.
• Membership isn't required but is preferred, assuming you like what I do and need regularly scheduled sessions.
• One of the best ways to avoid muscle tension, soreness, and/or stress is to visit once a month.  That is the average based on 18+ years of experience.  It isn't expected but advised, when I am asked how often one should visit.  Regular massage visits keep the peaks and valleys of tension at more reasonable levels.
  
  
  
• Non-members are welcome to visit at their own convenience and pay regular price, like shopping at Costco or Sam's Club, but there is no pressure to become a monthly member.
• I am not necessarily open to the public, meaning I do not take walk-ins or last minute or same-day appointments.  Please plan ahead to get the day and time you need!
  
  
• ALL appointments must be made in advance for health screening purposes; for example: the online intake form needs to be filled out prior to the visit, when listing the reason(s) for the appointment needing to be made.
  
  
• Gift card purchases can be made in person, but must be appointment-only.  This is to account for my schedule and the possibility of being in the middle of an appointment, if someone decided to randomly stop in to buy a gift card. 
• Gift cards can also be self-designed and purchased online and emailed to the recipient or printed for mailing or hand-delivery.  
• If you aren't sure if your recipient has been here before, go with the safer option and choose the "Introductory Rate/New Clients" option.  You'll get the discounted rate, but they will still get the same awesome service others have posted reviews about! 
  
  

NEW and RETURNING CLIENTS OVER THE AGE OF 30: It should be noted that my liability insurance carrier has advised against taking appointments with clients for at least 30 days after any experimental vaccination or booster.   Many side effects are s known, (over 1,000), second-hand vaccination sickness and protein “shedding” are a major concern, and it is at this point where it should be considered whether or not to schedule an appointment.    

• Contrary to popular belief, no one can legally require proof or ask to see documentation of any kind, for any medical treatment or vaccination.  I already know I have never had the right to ask, but be responsible and mindful before scheduling an appointment.  There is no harm done by clicking away and finding another therapist at this time (should you fall within this 30-day window). 
• With that in mind, by consenting to massage therapy, I am not liable for side effects of any kind that may arise or appear during or after a session.  You also acknowledge you are responsible for your own general health and do not hold REVIVAL ROOM Massage Therapy liable after consenting to visit this establishment.  There is an online waiver to be filled out after an appointment has been made.  

*Vaccination of any kind is 100% optional and a PRIVATE personal choice.  It is against Constitutional Law and a HIPAA privacy violation to discuss it and I will not engage if asked.  I do not need to know when or if any type of vaccination or booster has taken place.  I have never required proof of vaccination of any kind in order to provide services and I am not about to start requiring it now. * 

• To be blunt, if you STILL want to double-mask and avoid handshakes with a massage therapist you scheduled yourself to visit, there are plenty of others to choose from.  We will not be a good fit.  Fear is not welcome here.
  
  

• 1 John 4:18 – There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love.

• I respect you; you respect me.  Let's work as a team to help you feel better, reduce stress/tension, relieve muscle aches, etc.

NOW THEN....

It's time to book an appointment!  (Same-day appointments are not guaranteed.)  

***ALL FIRST TIME VISITORS!  Feel free to use the "INTRODUCTORY RATE/NEW CLIENTS" tab in the "Service Menu" for scheduling your first appointment. 

• You may have seen me advertised (under Monroe Street Massage) on Groupon but my agreement with them ended at the end of 2019.  In order to continue offering coupon site-like pricing, I am having new clients go through this scheduling site and pay me directly.  My Five-Star Reviews here on Massagebook, or places like Facebook, Google and Groupon, speak for themselves.   

There are other options and tabs to choose from, but this is a start.  I also have discounted bundles or series packages available! 

• Become a monthly “member” and get discounted massages once a month, with any additional massages at the same discounted rate, including gift cards! 

***UW STUDENTS (Whitewater only)!  (Discount available for MATC Students as well) - (EFFECTIVE August 29, 2022, the price of a 60-minute massage at UW Madison was raised to $75!!) 
The price of my 60-minute massages for UW Whitewater Students is only $50.

• There is a special tab for you to use.  Massage therapy is available at Ambrose Health Center in Whitewater for all UW students.  
• I do not work for UW, but you can still get your massage appointment here, for the same price as going to UW Whitewater.  There is no preferential treatment where athletes get priority scheduling (it happens in Madison).  It is first come, first served here.  Everyone needs to have the same chance for a massage appointment when the time comes!

• The cancellation policy on campus is ridiculous, in my opinion.  If you have to cancel or reschedule your appointment within 24 hours of your scheduled session, call/text/email and we'll figure it out.  I know things come up, and I'm not going to charge a fee for having to reschedule or cancel, even if it is the same day of your appointment. 

(MATC Students - you may also use the tab for UW Students when scheduling your appointments.)

***QUARTZ AND UW HEALTH MEDICARE ADVANTAGE members (formerly known as Senior Preferred Plan): 

Effective January 1, 2020, Medicare Advantage has included massage therapy as a covered (paid) service with doctor referral.  I have been credentialed as a provider of massage services and can bill insurance for your massages.   

• Depending on the level of coverage (Elite, Value, or Core), anywhere from 6 to 12 massages can be covered per year, at 30 to 60 minutes each visit (length of session to be determined by doctor recommendation and/or diagnosis).   
  
  
• Co-pays vary from $0, $10, and $15 for each visit, depending on the level of coverage.  The co-pay applies regardless of length of massage session per visit. 

*THESE APPOINTMENTS NEED TO BE MADE BY PHONE because a doctor referral is required and needs to be reviewed to make sure your condition or conditions are covered by the insurance payer. * 

Please ask any and all questions prior to scheduling.  I am constantly reaching out to chiropractors in the greater Madison and outlying areas, so we are all on the same page.  These doctors have the info they need in order to prescribe massage therapy based on the covered diagnosis codes provided to them at the beginning of the year. 

***A few important notes for all visitors, new and existing***

(Some of this may seem like it's repeated but it's important for certain people to know that we aren't breaking any non-existent "rules" and that everyone is welcome here).

• If a service has to be canceled the same day as the appointment because of an illness, it can be canceled or rescheduled with no penalty or fee.  Be aware that it is better to cancel your service before arriving, even if it is the same day, rather than coming into the building and then having to cancel or reschedule.  It will be completely understood if you have to cancel or change your appointment.  If you have prepaid for a service, you will receive a "credit" on your account to be used again at a later date and time.  A refund needs to be requested if that is what you choose, otherwise, this credit is the default action when a prepaid appointment is cancelled.
  This cancellation policy, or lack thereof, applies "pandemic" or not. 

Once again, WELCOME TO REVIVAL ROOM Massage Therapy!

Isaiah 54:14 – In righteousness you will be established: tyranny will be far from you; you will have nothing to fear. Terror will be far removed; it will not come near you.

• It is not my intention or desire to treat every client as if they are potentially "sick." 
• You never have to wear a mask during your massage, especially if you have trouble breathing or any other condition, as described above (YES, some salons and spas still require the client to wear a mask the entire time they are on the massage table, even in the prone [facing down] position).  
• You can wear a mask if you want to, but it is not recommended.  Exhaling carbon dioxide, and then breathing it in again because it's trapped in a mask, defeats the purpose of the detox effects of massage therapy.

The thought of going somewhere for a massage in that setting is unappealing to me, and I do not want to present that kind of dreadful environment to my clients.  We designed this place to be a haven, a relaxing space for escape.  The outside world can be put on hold for an hour or so.  Take some time for yourself!

This is my calling; my passion; my assignment, and I am here for you!  We expect and receive restoration, relaxation, and healing in this space.  As stated earlier, the goal here is to revive tired and weak muscles; regenerate tight and stiff areas; increase range of motion, and get back to feeling great again!

Monroe Street Massage and REVIVAL ROOM Massage Therapy are about love and compassion; not fear, indifference, discrimination, or hate.  To quote the song "O Holy Night:" "Truly He taught us to love one another.  His law is love and His gospel is peace."  

Be sure to check the "Promotions" tab on the Service Menu page for other ways to save on services and gift cards! 

If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to me via the Contact tab.  
Appointments can be made by calling or texting 608-852-5416.  You can also scroll back up and browse the “Service Menu” or jump right in and “Book Now.” Same-day appointments are not guaranteed.  Please plan ahead to get the day and time you need!

If you reach voicemail when calling, I am either with a client, on another call, or temporarily away from my phone.  Please leave a message and I will get back to you as soon as I can. 

*With all of the Robo-calls and telemarketers out there, I do not return calls without messages. * 

Thanks again for visiting my page.

See you soon!
