📋 A little massage therapy intake-form education… because I’ve noticed a trend.

Recently, I’ve been seeing answers like this on client intake forms:
💊 Medications- N/A
No medications that are affected by massage??
How can you be sure?
But then they check boxes that we question- like hypertension, diabetes, hypothyroidism-
How are these controlled?

And this tells me there may be a misunderstanding about why massage therapists ask this question in the first place.

When your intake form asks you to list medications, please list the medications you are actually taking. You don’t need to decide whether you think they’re relevant to massage. That’s something your massage therapist can evaluate with you.
And writing the words “a lot” or “too many to list” - that’s a red flag!
Medication use doesn’t automatically mean you can’t receive massage. Not at all. But certain medications can change how we safely approach your session. Depending on the medication and your individual circumstances, we may need to consider things like:

• bruising or bleeding risk
• blood pressure or dizziness
• sedation or alertness
• altered pain perception or sensation
• skin or tissue fragility
• inflammation or healing
• how much pressure may be appropriate
• whether a technique should be modified or avoided
• whether additional medical clearance may be appropriate. @

Sometimes the answer is simply, “Thanks for letting me know,” and your massage proceeds exactly as planned. Other times, that little piece of information changes how I work with you.
That’s why the question isn’t:
“Are you taking any medications that YOU think affect massage?”
It’s:
“Please list any medications you are currently taking.”

You don’t have to know what matters clinically. That’s my job. Your intake form isn’t busywork. It’s a legal, ethical and professional tool!
It’s one of the tools I use to help make your session as safe, appropriate, and individualized as possible.

And please don’t worry about being judged for what you take or the correct spelling of the meds. We will work it out. Medication information is health information, not a morality test. I just need accurate information so I can make informed decisions about your care.
-When in doubt, disclose it and let your therapist decide whether it’s relevant. Education creates safer massage for everyone.

The many faces of me when a client states;

“It’s just not possible to drink that much water in a day”…while holding their 48oz coffee.
