Spa News

Adam Boozer — Thu, 28 Feb 2008 21:50:23 +0000

Massage… a wonderful, non-invasive, relaxing and natural treatment. While massage has a multitude of benefits for the body, it can also be extremely taxing, especially if the body is already dealing with major health issues. As massage therapists, we are in an odd situation of being quasi-medical/health care workers: we know and work with the body, and yet are not doctors and cannot diagnose or treat conditions. Hence, we have a medical profile that one must fill out and disclose any and all health issues before receiving massage, body treatments, and/or facials. It is vitally important that we have this information before starting your service.

We recommend arriving 15-30 minutes before your service so this form can be filled out at your leisure.

The following restrictions are in place to protect your health and well-being. Thank you for taking them as seriously as we do.

TOTAL CONTRAINDICATIONS:
When you have any of these conditions, please do not schedule a massage:
• fever
• contagious or infectious diseases, including cold or flu
• under the influence of drugs or alcohol
• recent operations or acute injuries
• skin diseases

LOCAL CONTRAINDICATIONS:
The therapist can massage but not over any areas affected by:
• varicose veins
• undiagnosed lumps or bumps
• bruising, cuts, abrasions

MEDICAL CONTRAINDICATIONS:
If you suffer from any of the following conditions, massage can only take place once it has been approved before your session in writing by your physician:
• cardio-vascular conditions (thrombosis, phlebitis, heart conditions)
• any condition already being treated by a medical practitioner
• high blood pressure
• cancer
• psoriasis or eczema

Massage can be very therapeutic for many medical conditions, however in the above cases it is best to have advice from your physician.

Protect yourself. Staying in tune with environmental awareness, the Ananda Spa is pleased to introduce to you our new nail care line –

SPARITUAL
SpaRitual is a line that is committed to creating eco-friendly products and packaging perfectly crafted for the enlightened consumer. SpaRitual uses vegan ingredients from around the world, including many specially sourced and selected plant essences that are wildcrafted or organic. The formulations are naturally colored and free of synthetic dyes. The nail elixirs are DBP, toluene and formaldehyde free and the lacquers (also DBP free) have a vast range of colors.

Do yourself and the environment a favor, have a pedicure and/or manicure at the Ananda Spa.

Call 647-6112 for an appointment.

SAVE THE DATE:
April 18-21 Yoga/Spa Weekend.
