3. Appointments and Scheduling
Booking
Appointments may be scheduled by calling (503) 757-7295 or by emailing jselyks@aol.com. An appointment is confirmed only when you receive direct confirmation from us.
Arriving for Your Appointment
New clients are asked to arrive 10–15 minutes early to complete a health intake form. Arriving late may result in a shortened session, as subsequent appointments must begin on time. The full session fee applies regardless of late arrival.
Cancellation Policy
We require a minimum of 24 hours' notice to cancel or reschedule an appointment. Cancellations made with less than 24 hours' notice, or failure to appear for a scheduled appointment without notice, may be subject to a cancellation fee equal to 50% of the scheduled service fee. We understand emergencies happen and will consider extenuating circumstances on a case-by-case basis.
4. Payment
Payment is due at the time of service unless prior arrangements have been made. We accept cash, check, and major credit cards. Prices for services are as displayed at the time of booking and are subject to change without notice. We will notify you of any price changes prior to your scheduled appointment.
We accept some insurance plans. Coverage must be confirmed in advance of your appointment. We are not responsible for insurance claims that are denied and payment remains your responsibility in such cases.
5. Health and Medical Disclosure
Prior to your first session, you will be required to complete a health intake form disclosing any known medical conditions, injuries, medications, or contraindications. You agree to provide complete and accurate health information and to update us of any changes at subsequent visits.
Massage therapy is not a substitute for medical care. We do not diagnose medical conditions or prescribe treatments. If you have a medical condition, you are encouraged to consult your physician before receiving massage therapy.
Certain conditions may be contraindicated for massage, including but not limited to: fever, infectious illness, open wounds, blood clots (DVT), uncontrolled hypertension, certain skin conditions, and recent surgery. We reserve the right to refuse or modify service if we believe it poses a risk to your health or safety.
6. Professional Conduct
Jerry Skyles Therapeutic Massage is a professional therapeutic practice. All sessions are conducted in a professional, respectful manner in compliance with the Oregon Board of Massage Therapists' standards of practice and code of ethics.
Sexual misconduct of any kind is strictly prohibited. Any behavior of a sexual nature — verbal, physical, or otherwise — will result in immediate termination of the session, full payment will be due, and the matter may be reported to appropriate authorities.
We reserve the right to refuse or discontinue service to any client who is under the influence of alcohol or drugs, behaves in a threatening or disrespectful manner, or for any other reason that compromises the safety or professionalism of the session.
7. Age Requirements
Clients under the age of 18 must have written consent from a parent or legal guardian and the parent or guardian must be present during the session. We do not provide services to minors under the age of 16 without prior arrangement and documented parental consent.
8. Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Jerry Skyles Therapeutic Massage shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of our services or website. Our total liability to you for any claim arising from our services shall not exceed the amount paid by you for the session in question.
While we take every reasonable precaution to ensure your safety and comfort, massage therapy involves inherent physical contact and carries some degree of risk, including temporary soreness, bruising, or discomfort. By scheduling an appointment, you acknowledge these risks and agree to hold us harmless from claims arising from the ordinary and reasonable provision of massage therapy services.
