Advanced Therapeutics Massage Studio

A peaceful serene massage studio located in downtown Montrose, offering you excellent therapeutic massage.

In the midst of this global pandemic I would like to assure you that your health and care is my top priority. My office has reopened and I have implemented additional measures to my existing high standards of sanitation and disinfection to ensure everyone's safety. 

CLEANING MEASURES TAKEN DURING DOWNTIME

• A deep clean executed in the waiting area and massage treatment room using EPA approved cleaning products and protocols on all surfaces, top to bottom.
• All linens, rugs, blankets and curtains thoroughly washed and sanitized.
• Dyson High-Efficiency Particulate Air Purifier added to treatment room, running 24/7. The fully sealed filter system combines an activated Carbon filter to remove gases, and a Glass HEPA filter that captures 99.97% of microscopic allergens and pollutants as small as .03 microns.
• Installation of UV Disinfection Light with Germicidal Ozone Sterilizer. The ultaviolet germicidal lamp achieves the purpose of sterilization by targeting the DNA of microbes, damaging the DNA structure and preventing their reproduction.  This device provides sterilization and air purification for small spaces.  It kills Candida albicans, Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli, and hence works on any object surface, air or water that is infected by these germs.

Re-Opening Check-In Screening Protocol:

• Daily appointments will be limited and staggered to avoid client overlap.  More time will also be scheduled between clients for hygiene and room sanitation protocols.
• Please text when you arrive at the facility, please wait for a text response before approaching the building.
• Temperature Check-In Station upon entrance to building from the parking lot. 
• Face coverings are required for clients and therapists. Please let me know if you need a mask. 
• Initiate doorway screening checklist questions:
  • Have you had a fever in the last 24 hours of 100 degrees F or above?
  • Do you now, or have you recently had, any respiratory or flu symptoms, sore throat or shortness of breath?
  • Have you been in contact with anyone in the last 14 days who have been diagnosed with COVID-19 or has coronavirus-type symptoms?

 NEW  TREATMENT PROTOCOLS AFTER RE-OPENING

• Hand sanitizer, cleaning wipes, facial tissues and lidded trash cans operated by foot pedals are available in all spaces.  Clients will be asked to apply hand sanitizer liberally prior to treatment.
• Practitioner will wear a mask throughout entire interaction with client.
• We are avoiding all non-essential touching (handshakes/hugs/etc.) as well as eliminating casual conversation through the duration of the session.
• Practitioner will wash hands thoroughly, up to the elbows, and use a readied paper towel to open and close the treatment room door.
• Before leaving the treatment room, both therapist and client should apply a generous amount of sanitizer and use a readied paper towel to open and close the door. 
• A no-touch pay system is available for credit/debit cards. If paying by check, please write it in advance.
• Tools and implements used on clients, as well as chairs, chair arms, and door handles will be cleaned and sanitized between every use.
• Each client will receive a completely new table set up.
• Therapist will change shirt between clients.
• UV Disinfection Light with Germicidal Ozone Sterilizer run at the end of each work day.

I do want to emphasize the reality that while these may be ways to keep  my practice safer, there is no known way to eliminate the risk of transmission and infection.  With the possibility of asymptomatic transmission of COVID-19, every choice we make in the foreseeable future has a real level of risk attached.  Even with stringent sanitation protocols and enhanced client screening, there still exists a risk that you or I will get sick, or a family member or more people down the line in our community at large.  There simply is no risk-free environment in which to conduct business today.  These new guidelines reflect our new uncertain reality.  Because of this, I will be adopting new practice protocols and please understand that future practice will be different from past work. 

I am committed to getting through this. I wish you and your family safety, health, and well-being.
