Questions about massage intake forms

What should a massage intake form ask?

The areas the client wants to focus on, the preferred pressure, current health conditions such as pregnancy, recent surgery or circulation problems, medications and allergies to oils or lotions, and the client's signature. The template above covers each of these.

Do clients have to fill it in at the spa?

No. With Belcome, the booking confirmation carries a link to fill in and sign the form on the client's phone before the visit. Clients who did not can sign it at the front desk on your tablet.

How often should a client fill it in again?

Belcome asks again once a year by default. Change Ask again to Every visit if you want fresh answers each time.

Can I use my own questions?

Yes. Start from the template and edit, add or remove fields. Changing the questions creates a new version, and forms already signed keep the wording the client saw.

Is this a legal or medical document?

It is a starting point that records what the client told you. Follow the rules of your state massage board, and adapt the wording to your practice.
