Important Health and Safety Information

The information provided by Yinyang Spa is for educational and wellness purposes only and is not intended as a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. While massage therapy can be a vital component of a healthy lifestyle, it is a therapeutic service and not a medical procedure.

Health Disclosure and Client Responsibility

By booking a session at Yinyang Spa, you agree to provide an accurate and complete health history. It is the client’s responsibility to inform the therapist of any pre-existing medical conditions, physical limitations, or allergies before the treatment begins. If your health status changes between visits, please ensure you update your therapist or the front-of-house team prior to your next session.

Skin Conditions and Hygiene Protocols

The health of your skin is a priority for our team. We require all guests to disclose any active skin conditions, including but not limited to:

Rashes or inflammatory conditions (eczema, psoriasis)

Fungal infections (athlete’s foot, ringworm)

Open wounds, cuts, or abrasions

Contagious skin disorders

Use of Gloves: In the event of a minor skin irritation or at the discretion of the therapist for hygiene and safety purposes, our practitioners will use medical-grade gloves during the treatment. Yinyang Spa reserves the right to refuse service or reschedule an appointment if a skin condition is deemed contagious or if a massage could potentially worsen the irritation or risk the health of the therapist.

Women’s Health and Menstruation

Receiving a massage during your period is generally safe and can help alleviate common symptoms such as lower back pain and cramping. However, we ask our female guests to consider the following:

Increased Circulation

Massage stimulates blood flow, which may temporarily increase your menstrual flow immediately following the session.

Sensitivity

You may experience heightened sensitivity or tenderness during your period. Please communicate with your therapist so they can adjust the pressure to your comfort level.

Abdominal Work

We recommend avoiding or requesting very light pressure on the abdominal area during the first few days of your cycle.

Hygiene

For your comfort and the hygiene of our facilities, we require that appropriate menstrual products be used during the session.
