Jacqueline Duffy RMT All About Massage Therapy Massage therapy is recognized as one of the oldest methods of healing, with references in medical texts nearly 4,000 years old.

In fact, Hippocrates, known as the "father of medicine," referenced massage when he wrote, in the 4th century B.C.: "The physician must be acquainted with many things, and assuredly with rubbing." Now days, in addition to "rubbing," massage therapy, often referred to as bodywork or somatic therapy, refers to the application of various techniques to the muscular structure and soft tissues of the body that include applying fixed or movable pressure, holding, vibration, rocking, friction, kneading and compression using primarily the hands, although massage therapists do use other areas of the body, such as the forearms, elbows or feet. All of the techniques are used for the benefit of the musculoskeletal, circulatory-lymphatic, nervous, and other systems of the body. In fact, massage therapy positively influences the overall health and well-being of the client:

I wanted to let everyone know I'll be seeing patients again (thank goodness, I miss you all!) But unfortunately there are still rules to follow for everyone's safety. Here's what's up:

I'm looking forward to getting back to work and taking care of everyone, however, here's what we need to do to continue to keep ourselves as safe as possible.

1. I'm on a limited schedule (less people = less exposure), and we're recommended to only see patient's with high need. (Although I'm sure that's all of us 😁). So please be patient with me as I won't be able to book as many in a week as I'd like to and the wait may be longer than usual.
2. To limit time in contact:
- please wait in your car until appointment time, or until I call you in.
- please send concerns and treatment plan ahead of time, by phone call, text or email doesn't matter, but this way I can plan ahead and we can get right to the treatment when you arrive.
- please use the washroom before arriving. I know how inconvenient this is (believe me) but this keeps exposure to extra areas of the house to a minimum. (Obviously if it's an emergency, I'm not going to say no, but being prepared helps us all)
- payments will all be electronic money transfers please. I do not have a debit\credit machine and can only accept email money transfers for the time being. Please be prompt in sending as soon as possible after appointment.
3. Please don't worry about having to cancel or reschedule if you're feeling unwell at all, even if it's lady minute. I'd rather be safe and will always find time to see you when you're feeling better!

I'm very aware some of this is hard or inconvenient, but I will continue to do my very best to keep us all safe and taken care of. If you have any questions or concerns, don't ever hesitate to ask! I truly can't wait to see all your faces!
