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 our 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 NECESSITY 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 the 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.
- In addition, we have increased antimicrobial/anti-viral filtering devices in all of our therapy suites.
- Masks are required at all times while you are in our offices and during your sessions. If any special consideration is needed, of course, please let us know so we can accommodate any medical needs.
- We will be utilizing freshly sanitized bodywork gowns, surgical caps, and lotion holsters for every client/patient session to ensure your therapeutic session is as beneficial as possible
- We also have a virtual check-in process for each client and will be providing you with a special office cell number to call/text upon your arrival. Your temperature will be taken prior to each session as well.
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!

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.
