At Sole Purpose Massage, we’re doing all we can to minimize the risks of transmission of COVID-19 during massage. While risk cannot be completely eliminated, we exceed all state and federal recommendations and want to share what we’re doing with you.
Face masks are required for clients and therapists during the session. Clients do not have to wear masks while face down, but are required to wear them while face up.
Scrub tops are worn and changed between clients.
We follow rigorous sanitation protocols.
We clean and disinfect all surfaces used by the client and therapist between each massage session, paying special attention to the face cradle area and the table. We spray all surfaces with a disinfecting spray, and allow the allotted time to pass before wiping things down. The entire office is thoroughly cleaned daily. We use UV light in addition to a soap and water wash to sterilize our tools and our hot towels.
We practice rigorous personal hygiene.
We wash our hands (and feet, because we perform Ashiatsu) before and after each client. We also use hand sanitizer as needed.Improved office ventilation had been added.
During the warmer months, we have added a window fan to increase the circulation of fresh air from outside.
HEPA air purification has been added.
We’ve also installed a highly efficient HEPA air purifier to clean the office air. While research into the use of air purifiers in decreasing the risk of Coronavirus is pending, we believe that it shows promise and an additional layer of protection can’t hurt. Plus it’s great for those with seasonal allergies.
Touchless payment options are available.
We offer personal, individual treatment space.
We are a small practice with no public access. We operate by appointment only, which means that only you and your therapist are in the massage office during your appointment. And there are only two other appointments on the same day as yours.Ashiatsu Barefoot Massage provides more distance between the client and the therapist. It’s not exactly 6 feet, but compared to other forms of massage therapy, Ashiatsu does provide some distancing between the therapist and the client.
