Ok so it's not quite that dramatic but humour me.
I bought a massage voucher for a deep tissue or sports massage from one of the daily deals sites last week.
When the details come through I check out the company.
Their website is informative but doesn't look terribly professional. Digging further I find the domain name was registered in December.
The website links to their twitter feed and faceache page. The twitter feed contains only a few screenshots of a computer game. The faceache page has a few comments mainly made during February and March. It has 37 likes and no comments from other people.
The details of the therapists qualifications are cleverly written. They sound impressive on the surface but say nothing of substance. There's nothing to show he has sports therapy or massage training, even though he clearly has fitness education and experience.
I download the medical disclosure form. It looks unprofessional and the layout is poor. It runs off the side of the page so even though it will display, it couldn't be printed.
The terms state that full medical disclosure is the responsibility of the client and if the client experiences an injury as a result of giving wrong or incomplete info, the therapist will not be held responsible.
Ok, fair enough. A lot of massage and physical therapy services have that disclaimer.
The disclaimer then goes on to say that if the therapist in whole or in part causes injury in any way during the treatment, neither he nor his agents will be held responsible in any way!
So, who'd still use the voucher to book the session? |

Hmmm, I would not use the voucher. Once you have given all your medical history, the therapist 'is responsible' if any injury that occurs because of his/her treatment.
If you decide to use the voucher. The therapist should have the original certificates/diploma on display for all to see as well as insurance certificate.
Hope this helps
