Massage Consent Forms and Why Are They Necessary

Why are massage consent forms important:

If you are receiving a massage, you should fill out a massage consent form.  Whether it be for table or chair massage they provide the therapist with your important health related information. 

If your massage visit is at an office, these forms are typically detailed and request your extensive health history.  It will also ask about any current medical conditions. This is beneficial both to you and the massage therapist and/or establishment. Filling out a massage consent form gives clear and concise information and therefore helps alleviate any miscommunication.

If you are receiving chair massage, this is usually a short massage consent/waiver form.  Usually just a couple questions along with a short paragraph releasing any liability of the massage therapist or establishment providing the chair massage service.   Companies who use corporate massage services for their employees sometimes require their employees to sign a massage consent form as well.

If you’re looking for a blank massage consent form for your own use, there are several available online.
