Intake Form
A health questionnaire completed before your first massage session.
An intake form is a questionnaire that new clients complete before their first session, providing information about health conditions, medications, allergies, areas of concern, and treatment goals. This information helps the practitioner customize the session, avoid contraindicated techniques, and deliver the safest, most effective treatment possible.
How it is used in practice
Prior to a first bodywork session, clients are asked to complete this document. It serves as a foundational communication tool, enabling the practitioner to understand a client's specific needs and any sensitivities. This process ensures that the upcoming session is thoughtfully tailored from the start, respecting individual comfort levels and physical considerations. The information gathered allows for a personalized approach, focusing on areas of tension or discomfort while avoiding any techniques that might be unsuitable. It's a proactive step in establishing a safe and effective therapeutic relationship, facilitating open dialogue about expectations and preferences before any hands-on work begins, thereby ensuring a respectful and beneficial experience.
