Massage and bodywork are built on trust and clear boundaries. The right paperwork protects both — it keeps clients safe, keeps your practice professional, and keeps a good session from turning into a misunderstanding.
A Draping & Professional-Boundaries Consent
This is the defensible core of a bodywork practice. A draping and boundaries consent states your draping standards, which areas are and aren't worked, and the mutual-respect expectations for every session — protecting you and reassuring the client. See the Draping & Professional-Boundaries Consent.
A Health-History & Contraindication Screen
Injuries, medications, pregnancy, and certain conditions change what's safe. A health-history intake and contraindication screen surfaces them before you begin — the first thing you'll reach for if a client ever says a session made something worse. See the Health-History Intake & Contraindication Screen.
A Liability Waiver Built for Wellness, Not Medical Care
Bodywork is wellness, not medical treatment, and your waiver should say so — naming the real risks and making clear you don't diagnose or treat. A generic gym waiver doesn't do this. See the Massage Liability Waiver & Assumption of Risk.
Clear Cancellation & Policy Terms
No-shows and late cancellations quietly cost a solo practitioner real income. Written policies, agreed at intake, keep your schedule and your boundaries intact.
One Kit for the Whole Practice
The Bodywork Practice Kit brings the consent, health intake, draping and boundaries form, liability waiver, and policies together — attorney-drafted for massage and bodywork pros and written in plain English.
