Coming back to the office will happen, but it won’t be as easy as flipping a switch. It will likely be a gradual process, and extra safety and security protocols will be mandated to decrease the chances of COVID-19 recurring. Our goal, at Body Techniques, is to provide the safest experience possible for you and your team as you return to work. Many of our wellness services, such as yoga and meditation, do not require physical contact. Although onsite massage requires physical contact, luckily, it is naturally isolated “one to one”, which lowers the chance of exposure. In addition, we have also implemented the following nine onsite massage safety measures to reduce risk for our clients and practitioners:
- Following the CDC’s Sanitation Guidelines
- Using the highest quality approved disinfectants
- Implementing pre and post shift sanitation protocols
- Thoroughly training providers on new safety guidelines
- Strictly enforcing sick policy for both provider and client
- Limiting face-up time during massage sessions. All sessions will be performed with clients face down to limit face to face exposure time with practitioners
- Offering exclusively over the clothes massage with disposable face cradle cover, on vinyl chair or table
- Extending time between sessions to provide adequate time for disinfection of all surfaces: table, chair, desk, door knobs, light switch, phone, desk, computer, and all surfaces client and provider may touch
- Daily communication regarding any changes to guidelines and protocols
We remain vigilant in staying informed on the latest research and recommended safety measures from trusted sources and authorities, and will promptly update both clients and practitioners of changes to guidelines as they emerge.
