Your feet contain an average of 2,000 pores, and those pores are some of the largest in the body. There are more than 360 acupuncture points on the body, and more than 60 of them are located on the soles of the feet. Each acupuncture point correlates or connects to an organ and a specific area of the body, making the feet an ideal pathway for revitalizing well-being. The ionic footbath takes advantage of these “healing” points by stimulating them through immersing the feet in water that is ionized (hence, the name “ionic” footbath). Some researchers and footbath manufacturers claim that the weak electrical current that runs through the water, to which salt is added, creates a balance of negative and positive ions that “neutralize” charge ions in the body. Then those neutralized particles are pulled out of the body, drawing toxins along with them. Some of these claimants also argue that ionizing footbaths over time create a healthier pH balance in the body. We at Elevate Mind Body Studio cannot make any claim that these detoxification effects will occur during an ionizing footbath. We can say that alternative medicine, through the practices of acupressure, acupuncture, reflexology, and other techniques, have shown that the feet can be a pathway to healing. We also can say that people claim their health is improved through using ionizing footbaths over time and on a regular basis.
In combination with a healthy life style, ionic footbaths can help you reduce stress and so help maintain long-term wellness, but they are not for everyone. People who should not use ionic footbath therapy include:
Women who are pregnant. Anyone with a pacemaker or who takes heart-regulating medicines. Anyone with a weak heart. Anyone who has had an organ transplant who is taking medication to prevent rejection. Anyone with open foot wounds, or broken or irritated skin on their feet. Anyone taking any type of medication which if purged or excreted would incapacitate them mentally or physically. Anyone with low blood sugar or diabetes should consult with a doctor before having the ionic footbath performed.
An ionic footbath cannot cure, prevent or treat any disease or health condition. Ionic Footbath Therapy is not a substitute for medical treatment. If you have any health problems, issues or questions, consult your qualified primary healthcare provider.
I certify that I have read and understand the information contained in this form and that I will not hold Elevate Mind Body Studio or its subsidiaries, suppliers, agents or employees, liable for any physical or mental issues, problems or complications that may result from, or that I may correlate to, the ionic footbath session.
Infrared Consent
I have read the advisements and contradictions for Infrared use. I have no conflicts for use as described in the advisements and contradictions, or I have provided a doctor’s release authorizing use. I consent to Infrared Sessions, and confirm that I am at least 18 years of age. I understand that this is not intended to take place of medical care or medications. I clearly confirm that I have read the advisements and contradictions, and that I do not have any contradictions to the Infrared. I understand that I take full responsibility for my own health and well-being.
Advisements & Contradictions
Any of the below described contradictions will require you to use discretion for your own well being. Severe medical conditions or pregnancy will require a note of authorization from your doctor prior to the use of any Infrared Session.
Medications - Diuretics, barbiturates and beta-blockers may impair the body’s natural heat loss mechanisms. Anticholinergics such as amitryptaline may inhibit sweating and can predispose individuals to heat rash or to a lesser extent heat stroke. Some over-the-counter drugs, such as antihistamines, may also cause the body to be more prone to heat stroke.
Pregnancy/Breast Feeding - Pregnant women should consult a physician before using an Infrared Session. A doctor’s consent is required. If breast feeding, do not use any Infrared Sessions. A detoxification process will produce the expelled toxins into your breast milk.
Menstruation - Heating of the low back area of women during the menstrual period may temporarily increase their menstrual flow.
Elderly - The body must be able to activate its natural cooling processes in order to maintain core body temperature. As we mature, our bodies naturally lose this capacity. Guests over the age of 70 will be permitted for Infrared use, however, at a lower temperature.
Cardiovascular Conditions - Individuals with cardiovascular conditions or problems (hypertension/hypotension), congestive heart failure, impaired coronary circulation or those who are taking medications which might affect blood pressure should exercise caution when exposed to prolonged heat. Heat stress increases cardiac output and blood flow in and effort to transfer internal body heat to the outside environment via the skin (perspiration) and respiration systems. This takes place primarily due to major changes in the heart rate, which has the potential to incase by thirty (30) beats per minute for each degree increase in core body temperature.
Alcohol/Alcohol Abuse - Contrary to popular belief, it is not advisable to attempt to “sweat out” a hangover. Alcohol intoxication decreases a person’s judgement; therefore, he/she may not realize when the body has a negative reaction to high heat. Alcohol also increases the heart rate, which may be further increased by heat stress. Guests who appear intoxicated or inform us of alcohol consumption prior to use of Infrared Sessions will forfeit their scheduled appointment and no refund or credit will be issued.
Chronic Conditions/Diseases Associated With Reduced Ability to Sweat or Perspire - Multiple Sclerosis Central Nervous System Tumors and diabetes with Neuropathy are conditions that are associated with impaired sweating.
Hemophiliacs/Individuals Prone to Bleeding - The use of Infrared should be avoided by anyone who is predisposed to bleeding.
Fever - An individual with insensitivity to heat should not use any Infrared Sessions until the fever subsides.
Insensitivity to Heat - An individual with insensitivity to heat should not use any Infrared Sessions.
Joint Injury - If you have a recent (acute) joint injury, it should not be heated for the first 48 hours after an injury or until the swollen symptoms subside. If you have a joint or joints that are chronically hot and swollen, these joints may respond poorly to vigorous heating of any kind.
Implants - Metal pins, rods, artificial joints or any other surgical implants generally reflect Infrared waves and thus are not heated by this system. Nevertheless, you should consult your physician prior to using any Infrared Sessions.
Pacemakers/Defibrillators - The magnets used to assemble Infrared can interrupt the pacing and inhibit the output of pacemakers. Please discuss with your doctor the possible risks this may cause.
In the rare events that you experience pain and/or discomfort, immediately discontinue use, and exit the service.
Fascia Blasters in RedFit Room - Warnings: It is not recommended to use the fasciablaster if you are on blood thinners or have blood clots. Anyone with heart problems, thrombophlebitis, cancer or any skin conditions, such as rosacea, should not use the fasciablaster. If pregnant, consult your doctor.
Flotation Meditation Therapy Consent
Flotation Meditation Therapy provides a deep state of relaxation that stimulates blood flow through all of the bodies tissues, releases natural endorphins, and the brain gives out alpha waves associated with relaxation and meditation. To ensure a comfortable, clean and safe Meditation Floatation experience, I agree to the following:
I do not have any communicable or infectious disease, illness, or skin disorder. I do not have a condition or am medicated in any matter which may be adversely affected by profound relaxation and/or immersion in concentrated magnesium sulfate (Epsom salt) water solution.

I have consulted with, and secured written permission from my physician to use the Floatation Tank if I am pregnant.
I understand that the Floatation Tank uses:
Pharmaceutical grade Epsom salts, Ultraviolet sterilization system, Natural enzymes and non-toxic biodegradable cleaning products and Hydrogen peroxide.
I further understand that each individual may have a unique experience. I have been given an orientation which familiarized me with the safe and appropriate use of the tank. I agree to take full responsibility for my thoughts and actions while in the floatation tank and waiver of liability and all agreements made herein shall apply to each and every use of the flotation tank.

*If the above answers are true for you, seek medical advice prior to undertaking a My-Lipo, Acu-Clear or Fine Light. Do not treat directly on tattoos or varicose veins. Also clients with dark skin need to monitor the heatoutput during their session.
UV Tanning Consent
It is our intention to keep you as well informed about tanning as possible. This means informing you how to operate the tanning equipment. The proper procedure to follow in the tanning room will be clearly explained by a member of our staff. Please feel free to ask any questions.
If you do not develop a tan outdoors, you are unlikely to tan from the use of any tanning device.
1. AVOID OVEREXPOSURE. As with natural sunlight, overexposure can cause eye and skin injury and allergic reactions. Repeated Overexposure may cause photoaging of the skin, dryness, wrinkling and in some instances skin cancer. We recommend that you do not tan outdoors on days you are tanning indoors, that you do not tan if you currently have a sunburn and that you, at most, tan only once in a 24 hour period.
2. CERTAIN MEDICATIONS, Lotions, products, and medications may cause your skin to be more sensitive to UV Rays, such us Psoralen. Check the posted list of drugs and products known to increase the photosensitivity of the skin. Check with your physician or pharmacist if you are unsure about any medications you are taking or if you have had a problem with indoor or outdoor tanning in the past.
3. WEAR PROTECTIVE EYEWEAR. Failure to wear protective eyewear may result in severe burns or long-term injury to injuries to the eyes.
