Importance of our health history form – Nicole Gillett

When a new client comes in for a massage, they have to fill out a health history form, which a lot of people see as annoying and a “waste” of time. But what a lot of you don’t realize is that everything on that paper is important for us to ensure that we are treating you in the safest and most beneficial way as possible.

One of the most important section is the part on medications because, believe it or not, the smallest medication can change how we treat you. For example, I’ve had many people on the table in the middle of a deep tissue treatment and then they tell me they had a Tylenol 3 or other pain meds before coming in. We need to know that because it can affect on how much pressure you can handle, you may think you can take more when you actually can’t or shouldn’t.

So please, when filling out anything about your past and present health , take it seriously. Everything is there for a reason!!

At Adica Massage Clinic, we want to adapt to each client as everyone has different needs. Our health history form allows us to not only adapt our treatment to you, but also give you proper on going advice. We can’t properly treat you if we don’t know what’s going on.

We offer different types of massages like, therapeutic massage, deep tissue massage, hot stone massage, couple’s massage and even pregnancy massage. We have a length of massage to suit everyone’s schedule. We offer anywhere from a 30 minute massage, up to a 2 hour massage. Our 1 hour massage is our most popular length and therapeutic massage is our most popular type.
