We’re Reopening September 21st!

After all this time we finally have some good news!

We are entering into a new phase of reopening. September 21st we will be back in the office working with clients who have doctor’s referrals. This referral can come from your physician or from a chiropractor. All we need is an email, or you can bring a physical one with you to your appointment. When things open up more in Contra Costa County, we will happily take clients without a referral but for now that is all we are allowed to accommodate indoors at our office. We also have a few new steps in our process, which we have listed and explained on our website (and have announced previously). I’m sure many of you are now familiar with these new standards but please check them out, and if you have any questions about them, we would love to hear from you.

Another way we are adapting to this new limitation on indoor services is we are now offering outcall appointments! Booking will be similar but we will not be able to offer online booking for these appointments since we need to manually account for commute times. Please call us or email if you are interested in booking one of these types of appointments. These appointments are only offered in outdoor spaces so if you have any questions on how that works, please feel free to reach out.

We are going to have some price adjustments coming to make up for the longer hours all of us are having to put in to make this work. We will be sure to give you plenty of notice once we get going so you can stock up on gift cards and packages before that happens. Also any existing member credits acquired during the closure will be honored at full previous pricing.

We are beyond excited to see all of you and want to thank you again for your support and patience while we’ve all had to adapt to our changing times. Even if we struggled to return all of your voicemails and emails, hearing from you meant the world to us while we were busy learning how we could return to our tables.

Can’t wait to see you all soon!!

Expanded Booking and Appointment Procedures to Ensure a Safe Environment

We are excited to say that we are officially open! This has been a very long road and we could not have done it without the support of our staff, client, and complementary health communities. I have been amazed at just how many people have come together to create avenues to efficiently receive new information as it comes out, and I am very confident in the processes we have established to create a space that is as safe as possible in this moment. The situation continues to evolve and we may have to modify as we go, but I am very prepared to do so in an open and ethical way.

Session Process

We’ve kept you informed of our new processes and protocols through our previous emails, and that information is still up on our website, if you’d like to review it. All of our team members are also prepared to answer any questions you may still have, because we want to be as transparent as possible, so you can make an informed decision on whether bodywork is right for you at this time.

Although your sessions may feel a little different in the beginning, you will soon recognize that the results are still the same!  We do understand that everyone has a unique health profile and we want you to know we are still not recommending all types of body work for all types of clients, but we do want to have the conversation with each of you, so please reach out. We have all been deprived of touch for so long and we massage therapists speak the language of touch better than anyone.

Scheduling

We are at the office staffing phones and emails, and we can’t wait to hear from each of you!

We want to express so much love, so much appreciation, and all our gratitude for the work our communities have put in to get us to this point.

We are sending you all virtual hugs!!!!

See you soon!

New Self Care At Home Videos

During the coronavirus outbreak, many of us are stuck at home. Often, we’re working at our dining room tables and feeling tense about life in general.

We’re launching a series of self care at home videos to help our community through this time.

Below is the first in the series. You can find all our videos on our YouTube channel. Take care!

Struggling With Sleep?

At Loosen Up we often receive questions regarding ideal sleep recommendations; best positions, pillows, mattresses, etc. These are tougher questions to answer than you would think. There are many contributing factors to preferred sleeping position, pillows, and mattresses; previous injuries, room orientation, or sleeping companions. How we sleep is a personal topic and effective tips and tricks vary for each person.
