Health & Safety
COVID Safety Precautions
While Covid-19 mandates are no longer in effect, Covid is still with us. Carnegie Hill Massage continues to utilize best practice recommendations from the Centers For Disease Control (CDC), guidance from the AMTA and related healthcare sectors, and research findings on the virus to stay up to date and adapt necessary protocols for our mutual continued safety in working together and that of your fellow clients.
Given the close nature of the work performed in the course of a session at Carnegie Hill Massage, it is critical that we operate in a conservative manner for the well being of all, particularly those clients who remain at higher risk of infection and complications from COVID-19.
If you are immunocompromised by way of age, illness, or are in treatment for any condition that increases your exposure risk, you will need to consult with your physician before scheduling.
If you’re feeling under the weather:
Reschedule your appointment if you have a fever or any COVID-19 or cold/flu-like symptoms.
If you have been exposed to anyone with COVID symptoms or a positive diagnosis, you must reschedule. After known exposure, you may be asked to produce a negative rapid or PCR test before treatment at CHM.
Arrival & What to Expect
-
Arrival
Please arrive 10 minutes before your appointment so you can properly transition to your session.
Phone use is prohibited in the studio; please finish all calls and silence your devices before entering.
Once you enter, we’ll go over your intake forms, perform any assessments indicated to direct our session, and answer any questions you may have about the work we’re about to do together.
-
The Studio
Entrance to our studio is private and direct, and isn’t shared with other practices or client streams.
Once inside, you’ll discover a pristine and welcoming setting like no other, with professionally laundered organic linens, FDA approved air filtration, and surfaces that are spotlessly cleaned and disinfected between each and every session.
Our studio and everything you touch has been prepared for you.
-
Settling In
During the winter months, you’ll be greeted with a hot towel lightly scented with essential oils to aid in your transition as we discuss your session.
You are also welcome to rinse off any time of year in our client-dedicated shower to prepare more fully should you wish.
Now that you’ve had a chance to settle in, it’s time to get you on the table.
-
Tailored Massage
Our amenities are spa-like, the music soothing, and the organic jojoba oil warm and nourishing.
The licensed massage therapy you’ll be experiencing, however, will be deeply therapeutic, treatment-plan-based, & tailored to your specific needs and preferences that gets to the root of your tension, discomfort, and dysfunction.
Our work is backed by over a decade of practical clinical experience and continuous education.
You’re in highly skilled, very good hands.
-
Post-Session
Our goal is that the work we do together will leave you feeling more open, longer, and lighter. Post-session, our work should open up your breath to be fuller, and your movements more fluid and freer of the discomfort and restriction you may have entered with.
You may notice that work more as it settles in more deeply.
It’s normal to also experience some soreness from deep work - this can be part of the process.
Your feedback is important in helping us guide future sessions.
-
Follow Up
Finally, thank you for coming, and for trusting your body with us.
We hope you put our work to use in your daily functional life, your wellness and fitness regimens, and in your energetic life as well.
And of course, we hope you’ll schedule again and continue the good work you’ve started!
