Medical History Intake, Postural Assessment and First Massage

Hello there,

Thanks for considering me for your next massage! I do my best to make sure every session is as effective as possible, and to do this, I take extra time with people in the first session. 

Before your arrive for your first session, please print and fill out the intake form included below. We will then go over this form together, and perform a postural assessment. This assessment will allow me to see which muscles are chronically tight, which chronically weak, and gives me a good idea of what might be going on in your body that is causing you pain, stress or discomfort. This, in addition to the information provided in your intake form, will help me to design an initial session for you that is safe and effective.

We will also discuss your previous experiences with massage, what modalities and pressure work best for you, and any expectations you may have about your session. Understanding your experience and expectations helps ensure that your first massage matches your needs. 

Because of the extra time required, I schedule 90 minutes for a first time one hour massage, and two hours for a first time 90 minute. Going forward, each session will always begin with a 5 minute conversation where we will go over the results of your last session, any new developments, and anything we can add, tweak, or change in the massage to make it even more the massage you need that day. If needed, we will do another postural assessment or some movement screens to identify what has changed and what needs to be addressed in the session. 

A good massage is so often a result of clear and open communication. Your safety and comfort is very important to me. I encourage you to let me know anything I can do to make your massage more satisfying. 

To schedule, please text me at 406-219-1175 or email me at missoulabodywork@gmail.com. Please let me know whether you would like the one hour or 90 minute massage for your first session, and I will get back to you with dates.
Have a wonderful day!

All the best,

Amy
