Nature of the service: Restora Movement provides assisted stretching for general wellness, relaxation and mobility. It is not medical treatment, physical therapy, chiropractic care or massage therapy. Sessions do not diagnose, treat or cure any illness, injury or condition. Although the practitioner may hold healthcare credentials, no nursing or medical care is provided, and no provider-patient relationship is created. Stretching is not a substitute for care from your physician.
Health disclosure: Before your session, tell me in the booking notes about any of the following, now or in the past 12 months: recent surgery, joint replacement, recent injury or fracture, osteoporosis, spine or disc problems, arthritis or joint instability, blood clots or blood thinners, heart condition or high blood pressure, diabetes or neuropathy, pregnancy, hypermobility, dizziness or balance problems, or any condition that limits physical activity. I agree to share any changes in my health before each session.
Assumption of risk: Assisted stretching involves physical contact and movement and carries risks including soreness, strains, sprains, joint discomfort, bruising, dizziness and, rarely, more serious injury. I knowingly and voluntarily accept these risks.
Communication and right to stop: I will speak up right away about any pain or discomfort. I may stop or change any stretch at any time. The practitioner may decline or end a session if continuing does not seem safe.
Consent to touch: I consent to professional, non-sexual hands-on contact as needed for assisted stretching, including the legs, hips, back, shoulders, arms and neck. I may limit or withdraw consent for any area at any time.
Release of liability: To the fullest extent allowed by law, I release and hold harmless Restora Movement, its owner, staff and contractors from claims, damages or losses arising from my participation, except those caused by gross negligence or willful misconduct. This release binds me, my heirs and anyone acting on my behalf.
In-home sessions: I will provide a reasonably safe, clear space and tell the practitioner about pets, hazards or others present.
General terms: This waiver is governed by the laws of the state where the session takes place. If any part is unenforceable, the rest stays in effect. It applies to my first session and all future sessions unless I revoke it in writing. By booking, I confirm I am 18 or older and have read and agree to this waiver.
