What are Massage Therapy Intake Forms?

A massage therapy intake form is a document therapists use to gather information on a patient, such as essential basic information; medical history, including conditions, allergies, and prior injuries; therapy session goals, and more. These pieces of information are vital to ensuring that the therapist is well-informed and has the patient’s concerns and conditions while formulating a treatment plan.

Similar to other intake forms, physical copies of massage intake forms were the ones that patients filled out for the past few decades. However, due to the pandemic, digitally editable versions became more available to allow patients to answer them before heading to the clinic or hospital. The result of this switch, as practitioners have discovered, saves the therapist and the patient a lot of time and effort and streamlines the intake process.

If you’ve always relied on physical copies of your intake form and need a digital one but don’t want to start from scratch, we have the solution for you. We created a template with all the needed questions and instructions to help you obtain the information you need. If you feel it’s missing a section or two, you can edit it on Carepatron.
