MASSAGE THERAPY OFFICE UPDATE
As I'm nearing the end of the 6th week of shutdown, I wanted to reach out to everybody with an update and to see how you're doing and coping. It is unfortunate that massage therapy locations are NOT part of the Phase 1 of re-opening the State of Ohio. On Tuesday this week, I spent the afternoon contacting anybody who would listen to me at the Ohio Department of Health, Licking County Health Department and the Ohio Chapter of the American Massage Therapy Association searching for clarification on the Cease Business Order that was issued on March 20th and pleading my case as to why therapeutic massage should be considered an essential business. Although everybody agreed and sympathized with the situation, they have to interpret the order as it has been written. The representative from LCHD doesn't expect massage therapy locations, nail techs, hairstylists/barbers, etc to be allowed to re-open until Phase 3! Therefore, I'm expecting to be closed at least another 2-4weeks. As soon as I receive the green light to open again I will contact you for scheduling. I want to shout out a special thank you to those who have purchased gift certificates and sent gifts to help keep the expenses of the office paid during this unprecedented time. My heart is over-filled with gratitude and your overwhelming support is most appreciated! In the meantime, keep up those stretches and exercises. Feel free to call, text or email me and let me know how you're doing. I miss each and every one of you and hope to see you again soon! Peace!
