Current through Register Vol. 56, No. 18, September 16, 2024

Prior to providing an initial service to a client, a licensee shall have the client read and sign a patient acknowledgement form, which includes the following statement:

"Massage and bodywork therapy practices are designed to promote and maintain the health and well-being of the client. Massage and bodywork therapies do not include the diagnosis of illness, disease, impairment or disability. If I experience any pain or discomfort during this session, I will immediately inform the therapist so that the pressure and/or manipulations may be adjusted to my level of comfort. Because massage and bodywork therapy may be contraindicated due to certain medical conditions, I affirm that I have informed the therapist of all my known medical conditions and will keep the therapist updated as to any changes in my medical condition."
