We are extremely excited that Santa Rosa Therapeutic Bodyworks has officially been allowed to reopen for business! We understand that a lot of you might have concerns around whether or not it will be safe to receive bodywork. For some of you, this day could not have come soon enough, and for others, you still might not be ready to come in and receive bodywork at this time. Regardless of what boat you are in, we want to assure you that your health and safety are our top priority and we want to share how we will be working to keep you safe at SRT Bodyworks once we open.

The massage therapists at Santa Rosa Therapeutic Bodyworks follow Practice Guidelines recommended by the Federation of State Massage Therapy Boards (FSMTB), along with infection control recommendations made by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). You will most certainly see some changes when it is time for your next appointment, all of which have been made to help protect our clients and therapists, and we would like to outline these changes now.

Here’s what we are doing to keep you safe and healthy:

• There will be hand sanitizer at the front entrance for you to use when you come and go. You will also find hand sanitizer in the reception area and treatment rooms. Please use hand sanitizer before and after your session.

• All treatment room surfaces will be thoroughly cleaned and disinfected before and after each session. This includes the table, face cradle, door knobs, and any other surface that clients come in contact with during their visit.

• All linens will be professionally cleaned and sanitized after each use. All dirty linens will be stored in sealed containers until picked up by our cleaning company.

• We will be using disposable face cradle covers for all sessions to ensure you have a clean place to put your face.

• We will no longer be providing a glass of water after your session. Please bring your own water bottle with you to the office as it is very important to stay hydrated, especially after receiving bodywork.

• We now have the ability to do contactless checkout for your session through the Vagaro app on your phone. This will allow you to pay, tip, and sign from your own phone so you don’t need to touch anything at the front desk after your session. We can also put your card info on file for you and run it for you if you don’t want to use the app.

Here’s what to expect at your next appointment:

• To ensure that we can keep the number of people in our waiting room down to a minimum, please arrive no earlier than 5 minutes before your scheduled appointment time. We also have an outdoor area in front of our office that you can wait in as well.

• We will greet you at the door and take your temperature using a touchless forehead thermometer before your session. If your temperature is above 100.4 F, we will be required to reschedule your appointment.

• Please remember to wear your face mask. Face masks will be required to enter our office.

• We’ve tried to minimize the number of people you will encounter during your visit, but please be mindful and respectful of other people inside and outside our office and respect social distancing guidelines.
