Welcome & risk acknowledgement

Massage Therapy Waiver Form

I am choosing to receive massage therapy services of my own free will and understand that this physical treatment carries certain inherent risks to my health and well-being.

I recognize that massage therapy involves physical manipulation of soft tissue and joints, which may result in risks such as muscle soreness, bruising, temporary discomfort, or the aggravation of pre-existing medical conditions. I voluntarily assume all risks associated with these treatments, including any injuries that may arise from the natural physical nature of the massage process.
