Client Welcome Letter

WELCOME to the Academy of Massage Therapy & Bodyworks student clinic! The clinic has been established to be a learning experience for our students as well as a positive experience for those clients who utilize our services. We hope that it will be a great experience for all involved and have set up some clinic guidelines for the therapists and clients alike.

1) All clients will be asked to complete an intake form on your first visit and to update the intake form if any information changes. This will enable each therapist to review your medical background to ensure that you are able to receive a massage. It is important you are honest and thorough so we can determine if any contraindications exist.

2) Please be prompt for your appointment by arriving 5 to 10 minutes prior to your scheduled time. This allows for any updates to be made on your paperwork. If you need to cancel your appointment, please give us as much advance notice as possible; other clients may be waiting for an available appointment.

3) Please be aware that a clinic supervisor may enter the room at any time during your session to check the student’s performance.

4) You will be asked to dress down to your comfort level. You will remain draped at all times during the massage except for the areas the therapist is working on.

5) If a client makes any comments or advances of sexual nature, the therapist is instructed to immediately stop the session, leave the room and inform the clinic supervisor or school director. An incident report will be filed and the client will not be allowed to return. We take this profession very seriously and teach our students to do so as well. Conversation of a personal nature is not recommended during a massage session.

6) It is the policy of the school that a student therapist may only work on a clinic client three times, either alternately or consecutively. Exceptions to this policy can on be approved by the school director.

7) At the end of your massage, you will be asked to kindly fill out an evaluation form based on your experience. This form is used to identify the therapist’s strengths and/or weaknesses as they move forward with their education. Please feel free to contact the clinic supervisor if you wish your comments to remain confidential.

8) TIPS for the therapists are not mandatory but are greatly appreciated! We ask the tips not be included in a written check or a credit card payment. We accept gift certificates, Visa, MasterCard, discover, Check or Cash payment.

By submitting this form I acknowledge that I have read the aforementioned guidelines and agree to adhere to them.
