“Phase 2” Re-opening

Although I still don’t have a re-opening date to announce, I can tell you it will happen once we reach “Phase 2” of Washington state’s plan. That could be as soon as the end of this month. (I hope, I hope! Come on, Phase 2!!) In the mean time I am establishing new procedures for my business so that when I do re-open I can do so with minimum risk to everyone’s health.

Under the current restrictions massage is permitted only when there is “urgent medical necessity.” Sometimes massage is medically necessary, and if you feel that you fall into this category I recommend that you seek massage at one of the physical therapy clinics that are still offering it. (To the best of my knowledge Olympic Sports and Spine for example is still offering limited massage, and they have several clinics in the Tacoma area.) These larger practices have better access to protective equipment and are better able to minimize the risk of spreading COVID-19. It pains me to be unable to provide massage to those of you who do have a medical need for it now, but at this time I still feel that the risk outweighs the value of the services I can provide.

What are you doing to keep occupied while staying home? I’ve been renovating this chicken coop in preparation for getting backyard chickens. Believe me when I say I’d much rather be doing massage.
