COVID-19 News and Updates - as of 5/21
March 18-Unknown: Closed with the exception of prescribed massage- see below.
Great news, we have been granted permission to start seeing clients again so long as they have a prescription from the following provider types: licensed physician, an advanced practicing registered nurse, a physician assistant, a dentist, an optometrist, a podiatric physician, or a doctor of oriental medicine.
Here are the options for obtaining a prescription:
-I have arranged for my clients to work with Dr. Rachel Kohl OMD who is willing to asses and write prescriptions for massage. Dr.Kohl is the medical director of Integrative Acupuncture of Southern Nevada (that's where I am located!).
-You can request a prescription from an eligible provider of your choice.
If you would like a referral to Dr.Kohl please call the main office at 702-763-1168 to set up an evaluation for $40 - be sure to mention it is for a massage prescription with Ryan.
If you would like to go to your own doctor, please use the prescription-referral form here: www.therabodywork.com/forms
