Well... here we are again! Due to the further restrictions announced yesterday by the government, Back Be Nimble is temporarily suspending the provision of Massage Therapy treatments. Acupuncture is still operational and our amazing Dr. Jessica Stankowski will be continuing to provide wellness care to her ongoing clients 🙌🏻⁠
⁠
Confusing we know!! You might be asking... why can't I see my Massage Therapist for treatment, but I can see my Acupuncturist, or my Physio, etc?! The reason is this... even though as Registered Massage Therapists, we are health professionals, we are not currently "regulated" in this province under the Health Professions Act. The government has taken this as the dividing line between which wellness services can remain open and which cannot. ⁠
⁠
Even though at Back Be Nimble we are guided by the Massage Therapist Association of Alberta and since relaunching in June, have been operating in accordance with the MTAA COVID-19 Pandemic Practice Directive which was approved by Alberta Health... we must unfortunately cease the provisions of Massage Therapy services effective December 13th to January 12th.⁠
⁠
All Massage Therapy clients who have appointments booked during our closure period will be contacted by phone or email. We have also temporarily taken our Massage Therapy schedules offline, so that we may coordinate the rebooking of clients once we know where things are in January. ⁠
⁠
Oy... 2020 keeps on giving the challenges! BUT.... vaccines are coming, those most vulnerable will be protected and the rest will fall into place. We are so lucky to have such supportive clients and we will see all the smiling faces... well smiling eyes... very soon 😷💜⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

It’s amazing how busy our lives can be sometimes, and it’s so important to schedule in some self care time in. Whether it’s booking in a massage, taking a bubble bath or just having some alone time to read a book, it can make all the difference to ones state of mind. Take care of yourself guys! 🧘‍♀️
