Ann Arbor Massage & Bodywork
If clients feel sick or not themselves please contact us immediately to reschedule your appointment. We will temporarily not be offering face massage or TMJ work. Clients will be required to wear a face mask that covers their nose and mouth at all times except when they are face down during their massage. Therapists will sanitize their hands before and after entering/exiting the treatment rooms and will thoroughly wash their hands in warm soapy water before and after each session.

The studio and rooms will be sanitized at the end of each day and the treatment room will be sanitized after each client. All sheets and blankets will be laundered based on sanitary best practices & linens will be changed after each client (this is not a new protocol). Michael has spent the past 20 years practicing and instructing in massage therapy.

He has been a licensed massage therapist in both Florida and Michigan since 2000 in both clinical and therapeutic massage. He spent a majority of his career performing clinical bodywork, working along side physical therapists.
