Massage Therapy Intake Form

A "massage therapy" intake form is typically more clinical — it includes pain assessment, treatment goals, physician info, and detailed health history. It's designed for licensed massage therapists doing therapeutic or medical massage. A basic "massage intake" form works for spa and relaxation massage where the focus is on preferences rather than treatment planning.

Including a physician contact field is smart but making it required depends on your practice. For therapeutic or rehabilitative massage, having the doctor's info is important in case you need to coordinate care. For relaxation massage, it's optional. Insurance-covered massage often requires a doctor's referral anyway.

In most cases, no. Massage therapists aren't typically HIPAA-covered entities unless they bill through a health plan or work in a covered healthcare setting. But treating client health info as confidential is still best practice and builds trust. Your intake form should include a basic privacy statement.
