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, I will meet you at the exterior door at your scheduled appointment time. 
• Face coverings are required for clients who choose not to take the vaccine for COVID-19. Please let me know if you need a mask. Practitioner will also wear a mask.

 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 clients choosing not to be vaccinated.
• 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.
• 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.
