In-Person Services

Empyreal Back Bar provides in-person Therapeutic Massage services, through which Certified and Licensed health and wellness professionals (“Massage Therapists”) treat individual Recipients by using touch to manipulate the muscles and other soft tissues of the body; solely intended to relieve pain, improve circulation, relieve stress, increase relaxation and aid in general wellness. 

 

Scheduling as a Guest, Therapeutic Massage services are intended for in-office sessions, providing therapeutic care. Each session will be considered a one-time per session treatment unless otherwise noted. Membership opportunities are available to individuals who would like to receive frequent care. Visit www.empyrealbackbar.com for more details.

Requestors must be at least 18 years old to schedule and book a massage session. If it is determined and confirmed, after scheduling and payment has been remitted to EBB, that a Service appointment has been made by a Requestor under the age of 18, Empyreal Back Bar reserves the right to cancel the appointment.

Individuals under the age of 18 years old receiving treatment must be accompanied by a parent or guardian (please note that the Service is not for persons under the age of 13 years old). The parent or guardian must give permission for the agreed session to be performed. The parent or guardian is expected to remain present throughout the treatment. The Requestor who has booked the session must articulate this notice to participants prior to the session.

As a Requestor of Therapeutic Treatment services on behalf of an individual, company, entity or organization (each, “Client”), you represent and warrant that you are an authorized representative of such Client with the authority to bind such Client to these Terms; you agree to be bound by these Terms on behalf of such Client; and your Client meets the eligibility requirements for the Service, as set forth in these Terms. Further, you will be responsible for ensuring your Client complies with these Terms.

​

Sessions:

Guests are asked to allow for an additional 10 minutes prior to and post their scheduled appointment time to allot for session setup, breakdown, and/or consultation/feedback.

Your Therapist will be accompanied by their Assistant who will prepare you for your massage session. The Assistant will prep the session area, which includes setting up the equipment and soft ambient music, and be available to answer any questions you may have prior to the start of the scheduled session.

Once you are comfortable receiving your massage, your Therapist will proceed with your customized session, periodically asking how you are feeling. After the session, your Therapist will assist you off the chair or table and encourage you to take deep breaths, drink plenty of water and schedule an appointment to receive regular treatments.
