I hope this finds you in good health and happiness.

As we head into the holiday season, starting with Thanksgiving and going through the New Year calibrations, I am thinking of COVID precautions for my massage practice. It is very common for us to leave town or the state and spend time with family and friends that are not in our regular close social circle.

​

If you will be spending any of your holidays with family and friends that you have not been spending recent regular indoor time with (be it one person or six); I ask that you do one of the following before coming in for your post-holiday massage with me.

​

1) Get a diagnostic swab test.

​

First care in highland offers testing with results in 24-48 hours (at your request). You must call first to schedule an appointment.

222 Route 299

Highland, NY 12528

Mon. – Fri.: 8am-7pm; Sat.-Sun.: 10am-4pm

845.691.DOCS (3627)

​

Rite Aid in Kingston, Poughkeepsie and Newburgh also offer testing, but with a 2-5-days turnaround for results. Scheduling must be done online @ https://www.riteaid.com/pharmacy/services/covid-19-testing

​

Walgreens in Highland on 9W also offers free testing, https://www.walgreens.com/findcare/covid19/testing?ban=covid_testing

​

2) The second option is to wait two weeks of being symptom free before coming in for your massage.

I apologize for any inconvenience or frustration this may cause, but in order to assure the highest level of safety while staying open for business, I feel this is the best protocol to follow.

Thank you for your understanding!
