Pathways Massage

Anyone that’s booked in for a massage and brings in a toy donation at their appointment will get a $10 discount off their service in the month of December! (We are an official Angel Tree Drop Off location too😊)

Oof, our 0–24 months shelves are looking EMPTY, folks. We desperately need baby items like rattles, blankets, teethers, bath toys, board books, bottles, toys, socks, and shoes. Please donate to the Angel Tree Toy Depot at 920 2A Avenue North, unit 108, and tell your friends! 💙👼

Time again to think of yourself. Have you been making yourself a priority?

I actually had a few people do exactly THIS this week!😊How perfect hey? I mean you all survived such a looooong summer, am I right? Now, you’re back to routines. Don’t leave your self care off of that list. See you soon. Don’t miss your bus!

Don’t forget how lovely a massage can be, even in the summer! Looking forward to seeing you and helping you ‘chill’.
DIRECT BILLING available.

Just so people are aware; there have been no further restrictions placed on to the massage therapy industry as of yesterday’s update. All the same safety protocols are in place.
BONUS: Massage Therapists were able to access their immunizations a few weeks ago...and I was glad to be among those that did!

In all the excitement I realized I didn’t even tell you all in here that YES! It’s true! We’re back to massages WITHOUT the referral/prescription as of Monday, January 18th! Let’s keep working to keep our Covid cases down so we can maintain this open status.😊
Oh...and Pathways Massage is moving back downtown as of February 1st. More news to come on that soon. (Or book in this next two weeks and I’ll tell you all about it!)

Thank you all for your relentless pursuit to reverse the closure! We’ve been heard!!

As per the update provided by the Chief Medical Officer of Health, massage therapists are able to resume immediately providing services under the following guidelines:
1. All clients must have either a written prescription from a Medical Doctor, or a written referral from a regulated health professional (https://www.alberta.ca/regulated-health-professions.aspx)
a. An existing written prescription is only valid if issued within the last 12 months.
b. An existing written referral is only valid if issued within the last 12 months.
c. A copy of the original written prescription or written referral is acceptable.
d. The written prescription or written referral must be provided prior to receiving treatment.
e. A copy of the written prescription or written referral must be kept in the client’s file.
2. All previous requirements for hygiene standards, PPE, masks, and other barriers issued by the individual associations will still apply until January 4, 2021. We will release the new “Infection Prevention Control Manual for Massage Therapists in Alberta” document before the end of 2020, which will come into effect January 4, 2021.
This exemption, which has been provided by the Chief Medical Officer of Health (CMOH) may be terminated or modified by the CMOH in writing without notice and for any reason as determined by the CMOH.
One of the main requirements in the new “Infection Prevention Control Manual for Massage Therapists in Alberta” document will be the mandatory use of surgical/procedural masks (ASTM Level 1 or higher) by all massage therapists. We recommend that you start sourcing these immediately in preparation for this change. Until the document comes into effect on January 4, 2021 you may continue to practice under the existing requirements for hygiene standards, PPE, masks, and other barriers issued by the individual associations and under the Guidance to Wellness Services document supplied by the Alberta Government (https://www.alberta.ca/assets/documents/covid-19-relaunch-guidance-wellness-services.pdf)
We remind all massage therapists that you have the option to return to work, and it remains the choice of the individual therapist on when they choose to return.
We wish you all a healthy Happy Holidays and a safe return to work.
