Would you recommend massage for everyone?
Unfortunately, no. There are some conditions that are contraindicated for massage and some medications that require specific timing. Bodywork is not appropriate care for infectious or contagious illness as it can exacerbate symptoms as well as risk the health of the public. If you are currently under a doctor's care, or have any doubts as to your massage eligibility please reach out and I will be happy to figure it out with you.
What are your cancellation and reschedule policies?
Your appointments are very important to Matteucci Therapeutics . They are reserved especially for you. We understand that sometimes schedule adjustments are necessary. Therefore, we respectfully request at least 24-hour notice for cancellations or rescheduling of appointments.
Please understand that when you forget, cancel, or change your appointment without giving enough notice, we miss the opportunity to fill that appointment time, and clients on our wait list miss the opportunity to receive services. Therefore, we have a strictly enforced 24-hour cancellation and rescheduling policy.
Any appointment missed, late canceled, or changed without 24-hour notice will result in a charge equal to 100% of the reserved service amount.
Do I need a prescription from my doctor or healthcare provider?
No, however, we encourage you to talk with your doctors and healthcare professionals about your use of massage therapy for transparency within the healthcare team. Referrals from a healthcare professional also qualify your massage treatment for a sales tax exemption.
Is massage therapy a regulated profession?
Yes, in Ohio massage therapy has been licensed as a limited branch of medicine for over 100 years (1916). If you are seeking massage therapy for condition-specific reasons it is important to verify the therapist is licensed by the State Medical Board of Ohio, His/her license should also be displayed in the office.
Is massage therapy covered by my health insurance?
Currently, in Ohio we are not aware of health plans that cover massage therapy, however, we are always open to working with you if you have coverage.
Do you accept insurance?
I do not accept insurance, but am glad to provide a receipt for you to submit for reimbursement.
Do you provide massage for minors?
Yes. I only ask that clients under 18 present a signed Parent/Guardian consent form prior to their initial appointment. Massage sessions for minors tend to last 30-60 minutes, depending on the minor's size, age, and attention span. Session prices are adjusted accordingly.
Do you take walk-ins and same-day appointments?
Please book your session at least a few days in advance to secure your preferred appointment time and date. Though sessions are by appointment only, should you find yourself in need of some last-minute work, please feel free to email me and I will do my best to accommodate you.
What should I do during my massage session?
Many people take a nap or meditate during a session while others prefer dialogue. It is your massage, and whatever feels natural to you is the best way to relax. Feel free to change your position anytime to make yourself more comfortable and please do not hesitate to ask questions or voice concerns at any time.
Do I need to get completely undressed?
Certain modalities such as Thai massage & Reiki require only that you wear loose fitting clothing. For more traditional table massage it is customary to undress to your comfort level, be it completely or only to your undies. I do ask that you remove items that can get in the way of the massage such as bras, jewelry and watches. For those of you new to massage, please note that you will be given privacy to undress and I always use conservative draping methods to avoid inappropriate exposure.
Do you provide any other services (wink, wink)?
NOOOOOOO. I am a professionally trained and licensed massage therapist who meets all state and local requirements. To protect both my client and myself, no inappropriate behavior will be tolerated. Any illicit or sexually suggestive remarks and/or advances as perceived by the therapist (me) will result in immediate termination of the session, and you will be liable for payment of the scheduled appointment. If you are interested in a sexual/ sensual (and it should be noted, ILLEGAL) massage, you are on the wrong website.
