Safety

COVID Safety

Measures are in place before treatment :-

  • If you feel unwell with any symptoms of COVID please cancel your appointment and reschedule.
  • If any member of your family or anyone you have spent more than 15 minutes who has tested COVID positive please cancel your appointment and reschedule.
  • Currently, I’m only booking in double vaccinated clients with a negative lateral flow test on the day of appointment. If you haven’t any test kits I have some available at Lupton House within my treatment room.
  • Hand sanitiser is available on entering the treatment room.
  • There will be adequate ventilation in the treatment room. All surfaces and touch points will be totally disinfected with the appropriate spray after every treatment and the room will be thoroughly aired.
  • I will be wearing a mask and most likely a face shield to keep both yourself and myself safe.

CONTRA – INDICATIONS

Massage is given for the purpose of relaxation and support. It is very unlikely that your medical condition will disqualify you from receiving it. The strokes will be always within your comfort.
