Sexual Harassment Policy

Zero-Tolerance Policy

Why do we have a Zero-Tolerance Policy in our facility?

Massage therapy is a vulnerable healing modality that should be a safe environment for both the client and the practitioner. The following zero-tolerance policy protects the mental, physical, emotional, and energetic well-being of our practitioners and clients at all times. All clients and Licensed Massage Therapists (practitioners)  are required to sign this policy prior to giving or receiving a massage. 

Below is a copy of our policy. All clients and practitioners are required to sign this agreement before giving or receiving a session.

Zero-Tolerance Policy for Sexual Harassment and Assault

Integrative Muscular Rehabilitation, aka IMR Massage is dedicated to maintaining a safe and comfortable environment for all clients and practitioners. Sexual harassment and assault by either party will not be tolerated under any circumstances. 

Sexual harassment or assault include any sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, sexual jokes or any other verbal, non-verbal, or physical conduct of a sexual nature that creates an intimidating, hostile, or offensive environment for our staff members or clients. All this behavior is not tolerated in our facility. The client and practitioner are expected to have a professional and respectful relationship. 

Any practitioner or client who experiences or witnesses sexual harassment or assault in our clinic is encouraged to report the incident immediately to the management team at [email protected] or [email protected]. Reports can be made verbally or in writing.

After confirming that sexual harassment or assault by a client or practitioner has occurred, appropriate action will be taken to address the situation. This may include but is not limited to:

  • Termination of the client’s appointment and expulsion from the premises.
    • If the incident occurs during a session, the client or practitioner is allowed and encouraged to discontinue the session immediately. If the client is the offender, they will be charged 100% for the session even if the session ends early. If the practitioner is the offender, the client will not be charged for the session at all.
  • Banning the client from scheduling future appointments at the clinic.
  • Termination of the practitioner’s job
  • Involving law enforcement authorities, if necessary and appropriate.

All clients and practitioners are expected to always comply with this zero-tolerance policy regarding sexual harassment and assault by clients. 

By implementing and enforcing this zero-tolerance policy, we are reaffirming our commitment to creating a safe and respectful environment for all staff members and clients alike. We urge all staff members and clients to join us in promoting a culture of respect, professionalism, and zero tolerance for sexual harassment and assault.
