Aaron explains, “As medical practitioners have an obligation to provide a safe space for our clients and ourselves. We follow the Responsible Restart Ohio, Department of Health guidelines for massage therapy.” This includes: disinfecting all contactable surfaces before and after each massage, using hand sanitizer, providing clean linens for each customer, and monitoring the therapist’s temperature and blood oxygenation levels every day and posting to a white board on their office door. The McAvoy’s request that everyone wear face masks, as they do, and be prepared to have their temperature and blood oxygenation monitored with a forehead, non-touch, thermometer and a finger, non-stick, oxygenation sensor.
