More and more research points to droplets in confined environments as a likely means of transferring Covid-19. When my practice resumes, this will mean masks, extra measures for air circulation, and no unnecessary talking during a session.

This is painful because I dearly love the conversation that sometimes occurs during massage. And some clients seem to truly relax only when they can talk. Verbal connection is important, but not at the expense of one's health.

The airborne lifetime of small speech droplets and their potential importance in SARS-CoV-2 transmission Speech droplets generated by asymptomatic carriers of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) are increasingly considered to be a likely mode of disease transmission.

Blood clotting has always been a contraindication for massage therapy. The pressure from massage can potentially dislodge clots which then travel up the body and cause sometimes fatal damage to the heart, lungs, or brain.

More information is needed on this very worrisome effect of Covid-19. But recent reports indicate that clotting complications can show up even in recovered patients.

Coronavirus Causes Damaging Blood Clots From Brain to Toes Another threat from the lung virus that causes Covid-19 has emerged that may cause swift, sometimes fatal damage: blood clots.

This blog post from a respected nonprofit massage therapy education and research institution is worth a read. The author likens the current massage therapy landscape to a dangerous game of hot potato. No one - state governing boards, professional organizations, local governments, and insurance providers, is willing to step up and take leadership. When massage therapists seek guidance on what is safe and ethical, the potato gets tossed around endlessly.

These entities provide lists of suggested best practices for returning for work, but all these lists point to the fact that being in close contact, TOUCHING other people for prolonged periods, just isn't safe yet. Put in plexiglass in your lobby, set up contactless payment methods! Great, but don't those measures just highlight the danger of practicing massage?

It's maddening and so painful.

I still don't have a projected timeframe for when I will reopen, but until our infection rates are trending down, I will hold off.
