Looking for Forms

[Paige F]

Hello!  I am very new at all of this, only just finishing school for massage.  What I am looking for is a great place to find forms, ie. client intake, health history, therapy notes.  Does anyone have a suggestion?  I'd prefer to not have to create from scratch!  I thank you for your suggestions!

Hi there   What I did was take a empty form from the school (clinic) an from some therapist I know. Scan !!  Cut & Paste  what you like... and...  POOF  your personal form.                                  Jessica/Tranquil Touch

Looking for Forms

I used a lot of the ideas on forms and brochures from ABMP. They are a professional insurance and they send out a great booklet of information when you sign up with them. I did take a few ideas from other therapists and put them together to make it my own.

Along with all my forms, I made my own and based it upon a few I had seen and what we used at school.  It has changed over the years and will probably go through another soon since my business has evolved a bit recently.  Send me an email and I'll forward you a modified copy (minus my personal info) to you...you can play around with it and see what works for you and your style of work.  Btw, it's in [email protected]

I've created a few forms and am in the process of creating a few more that I think I might need.  I purchased the "massage garden" kit, grabbed a sample from the massage school, and had a couple other samples to work with.  I also downloaded the sample form from ABMP.  I've sort of done a mix-and-match intake form of the elements I liked from all of those.  (By intake form, I mean the health questionnaire/personal information/liability release form)Be sure to check for any legal guidelines for your state.  I discovered that of all the samples I had, only the one from my school met all of the TX state requirements.I'd be willing to share my forms (MS Word format) with anyone who is looking for ideas.  I'm also always open for feedback on my own forms.  Just send me a private message with your email address.With forms, keep in mind that they play a big part in your clients' first impression of you and your business.  I discovered this fact when I was getting massages from random therapists (writing it off as market research - ha!) and kept seeing these awful, almost illegible and crooked photocopied forms.  Some were several pages long and asked what I felt were way too many questions.  Even though I know that it's "just a piece of paper" it still subconsciously shaped my first impression of the therapist in a negative way.  The very best intake form I saw was concise yet complete - it fit on one page - and was printed on professional looking letterhead.  Unfortunately, none of the therapists so far has gone over my intake form with me or even made any indication that they had seen it... but that's another discussion entirely.

I recommend and use:http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0781726824/002-3882663-5743252?v=glance"Hands Heal" by Diana ThompsonIt is chock full of (more than you will probably ever use) forms that can be torn out of the book and copied, cut and pasted or adding your biz name and info at the top. I used some of the forms as is and used others as ideas.I actually ended up making most of my own forms from scratch. It was time consuming, but yes, they look so much more professional than a crooked, illegiable photocopy. I do photocopy the originals, but they look much better than a copy of a copy of a copy. The only forms I didn't make by hand are the SOAP charts.
