Clinic Reopening

Hello everyone!

The clinic is reopening officially on June 2nd. At this time only Matthew Longman, RMT is available to take patients, as both Amy Fairman, RMT and Kalli Betemps, RMT are waiting for some important equipment to come in that they require. At this time both estimate that they will be reopening around June 16th. Both are committed to reopening as soon as possible and are hoping for fast deliveries.

With reopening there are some important changes that we have to announce!

We have had a rate increase. New rates can be found on our Rates Page. As always we direct bill to most insurances and are happy to do so, if you have a plan you want to take advantage of let us know.

We have put in place new policies and practices due to COVID-19 to help protect the health of patients and massage therapists. Massage therapy is a hands-on practice, so we are not able to social distance during treatment. Outside of treatment we have several steps that we are taking, and that we will request our patients take, to minimize exposure possibilities and enhance safety.

1. Appointments have been limited and staggered so that cross-over between patients in common areas will be prevented.

2. We are accepting cash if needed, however our preference is for card payment (Debit, Visa, MasterCard, AMEX) OR e-transfer paid in advance. (If you want to prepay, please let us know, we’ll send you details.)

3. All massage therapists will be wearing protective equipment such as masks. They will also change shirts between every patient, disinfect their hands and arms between patients and after handling any equipment.

4. New equipment (such as vinyl pillows) that is easier to sanitize properly have been purchased. You may notice a bit less pizzazz in the decoration – that’s because we are removing anything that is difficult to disinfect. Common areas and treatment rooms will be cleaned and disinfected between patients. Linens are never shared and are washed in an extended sterilization cycle.

We ask that all our patients follow the following procedures for their appointments. This may feel a bit alien, but we appreciate everyone’s support.

1. If you are sick, recovering from any illness, or feel like you may be getting something, please do not come. Call and cancel. We promise we will do the same if an RMT is ill. Our RMTs reserve the right to assess and send someone home if they feel they aren’t well.

2. The clinic door will be locked. There are chairs outside (or you can sit on the patio). Your RMT will come and get you when it is time for your appointment.

3. A mask is required to be inside the clinic. If you do not have one at home, we will provide one to you, and your RMT will give it to you when they come greet you.

4. After you are masked up and come inside, please head straight to the bathroom to wash your hands. It’s the second door on the left.

5. Your RMT will guide you through all of this. Please enjoy your treatment! When it comes time to payment, we accept all forms but greatly prefer card or e-transfer.


The cats will begin to make their phone calls now but please mind that they are small and lack thumbs, so there may be delays. We are calling in the order that people were on the schedule and had to be cancelled and will do our best to get everyone in as soon as possible. We have however had to cut down the amount of appointments in a day available to accommodate safety procedures.
Thank you for everyone’s support! We look forward to talking to and seeing you soon.
