New artwork for your enjoyment

2/4/2021

0 Comments

 
In 2019 and 2020, we replaced some of our artwork with beautiful new canvas prints from photographer David Barthel of North Shore Images Photography. (Click those links to see more!) The new pieces are most prominent in our lobby and hallway. We have also started replacing the artwork in our treatment rooms.  So far, we've replaced the art in two rooms. 

Here is our newest addition, a gorgeous image of Split Rock Lighthouse overlooking Lake Superior. This is in Room #4. Enjoy!

Here's a closeup with the room lights brighter. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do. It looks even better in person!

Celebrating an Award - Thank you!

1/31/2021

1 Comment

 
At the start of 2020, our business was doing great. We were busy, we had new doors installed in our hallway and treatment rooms, and we were receiving many compliments on the beautiful new photographic artwork in our lobby, hallway, and room #2. We were looking forward to bringing in more new artwork and several more massage therapists. But you know what happened.

However, while temporarily closed, we used that time to learn a lot, consult with experts, and make plans for reopening. We qualified for the PPP and EIDL programs, invested in safety measures and training, and we reopened in July of 2020. Since that time, we have been been happy to see many of you return for massage therapy. Doctors and nurses have complimented us on the safety measures we have in place, and many people have enjoyed receiving amazing massage therapy from our team of skilled therapists. We also received compliments on the outstanding service provided by our receptionists. You supported us despite the challenges.

It's always an honor to win the Reader's Choice award, but this year it's particularly special because you voted for us shortly after we reopened, at a time when we were a bit nervous about what would come next. Your confidence and support mean everything to us, and we thank you from the bottom of our hearts. We plan to be around for a long time, providing you with the best massage therapy experience available in Eagan. 

Just for fun, let's enjoy this award in full size:

We're in this together!

At this time, we provide the safest place to receive massage in all of Minnesota, but we need your help to minimize community transmission of infectious diseases to save lives and relieve stress on our health care facilities and providers: 

Prevention is better than treatment. We are our own first line of defense. Together, we can slow the spread of disease by
  1. avoiding large gatherings,
  2. physical distancing,
  3. wearing face masks and eye goggles/face shields, 
  4. practicing good hand hygiene, and
  5. disinfecting shared surfaces.

At Eagan Massage Center, you'll see most/all of our staff wearing two masks and a face shield / eye goggles at all times. They may wear additional protective wear during massages, cleaning, etc.. While in our facility, everyone is required to wear, at minimum, a surgical mask. If you don't have your own, we will provide one for you. If you have a face mask that seems too loose, we will give you a mask that will fit better. If you have an alternate face cover (scarf, neck gator, etc.), we will give you a face mask to wear while in our facility. 

Good fit is critical for optimal mask effectiveness. Masks should cover the entire nose, mouth, and chin at all times, with the metal strap shaped over your nose. To get a better fit and seal with surgical masks, here's a quick video in which a physician explains a quick trick that works great: https://youtu.be/2TTg53aAP8Q  (Video also linked below this blog post.)

We encourage our staff to get tested for COVID-19. Whenever they are exposed, we take them off the work schedule until they meet medical guidelines demonstrating it is safe for them to return to work. 

Here are some places you can go to get COVID-19 tests, mostly at low/no cost. There are different tests and different processing times. Please check each website for details specific to each venue and the test options they provide: 

* WALGREENS: https://www.walgreens.com/findcare/covid19/testing
* CVS pharmacies: https://www.cvs.com/minuteclinic/covid-19-testing
* VALLEY MEDICAL & WELLNESS: https://www.valleymedical.com/contents/covid-19
* THE URGENCY ROOM: http://urgencyroom.com/rapid-covid-testing/
* SOLV HEALTH testing locator: https://www.solvhealth.com/mn/s/minnesota-covid-testing
* MN.GOV official testing site locator: https://mn.gov/covid19/for-minnesotans/if-sick/testing-locations/index.jsp

We're all in this together, and we plan to be here so you can enjoy the benefits of massage therapy for years to come. Our holiday package specials are now available online so you can place your order for massage gift cards. Our gift cards never expire! For details and ordering click here:  
Buy a gift card

​Thank you for respecting our safety policies and procedures. We have them because we want to provide a safe and comfortable place for people to enjoy massage, even if those considered more "at risk" than others, and because we love our staff. You can find our policies posted on most pages of this web site, including the top of the appointment scheduling page.

We hope you stay healthy and safe, and we look forward to seeing you again!

On happiness and when you don't feel happy

10/16/2020

0 Comments

 
Sometimes people find it difficult to feel happy. There are times it may feel impossible. And that's okay, because very few people are happy all of the time. We are gifted with the ability to experience a wide range of emotions. Feelings of sadness, anger, frustration, grief, stress, etc. are normal parts of how we feel and experience life's roller coasters. If you don't feel happy all of the time, allow yourself to really experience your true feelings, and talk to others (friends, family, counselors, etc.) about them so you have support to help you if needed. 

When it feels difficult to find things to be happy about, it can help to focus on little things that help make life more pleasant. A massage can be one of those things, but there are many other great things you might think about to find bright spots even when things seem dark. 

This lovely list compiled by a grandmother is full of wise suggestions from her personal list, and you might find yourself agreeing with some of them. Which ones do you relate to? Are there other simple things that also bring you moments of pleasure or happiness? What would you add to this list? 

https://www.passingdownthelove.com/101-things-that-make-me-happy/​
Picture
Though research shows that massage therapy can help, we encourage people with symptoms of depression and anxiety to connect with mental health professionals for additional guidance, and we'll do our best to complement the care they provide for you. 

If you or someone you know are considering self-harm, please call the National Suicide Prevention Hotline at 1-800-273-TALK (8255) or go to https://suicidepreventionlifeline.org/​ for more information. 

We hope the list above helps inspire you to think about things that make you happy, and perhaps to start your own list. We will continue to provide excellent service and great massages to help you manage stresses and feel better. At Eagan Massage Center, you are not alone.

We feel good about this decision!

10/6/2020

1 Comment

 

Before we became an independent massage center in 2017, we spent a lot of time considering what business name to use. Eagan Massage Center was the first one we thought of, but we considered many other possibilities (most of them awful). We were happy that the EaganMassage.com web site domain was available, and ultimately that first suggestion became our final decision. 

Over three years later, we are exceptionally happy with that decision. Everyone immediately knows where we are (Eagan) and what we do (massage), and it's usually the top recommendation when people look for massage therapy in our area. 

Here's a list of the top 10 Google search terms people use to find massage therapy in our area. You can immediately see why our website has the top rating. 

massage
massage places near me
massage near me
massage eagan mn
eagan massage center
eagan massage
massage eagan
massages near me
couples massage
eagan massage clinic

Of course, we have to do more than have a good business name. That's why we provide an attractive, comfortable environment, outstanding customer service, convenient online scheduling, and an exceptional team of experienced massage therapists.

During this pandemic, we've also gone to extra lengths to provide safety for everyone so you can focus on enjoying your massage. (This is covered in prior blog posts, and our safety policies are posted on many pages of our web site. When you come to us for massage therapy, we put your safety first. 

Thank you for all of your support this year! We plan to be around for a long time to come.

Hygiene and face masks are important!

8/10/2020

2 Comments

 
Massage therapists are used to practicing excellent hand hygiene, washing our hands before and after every massage session, after using the restroom, etc.. However, under current conditions, our entire staff is taking extra precautions: washing our hands as described above, sanitizing our hands frequently, cleaning and disinfecting shared touch surfaces throughout the day, using gloves during most cleaning, and our therapists will also wear gloves upon request. These are just part of the steps we've taken to provide the best possible place for outstanding massages!

We ask that you sanitize your hands upon entering, using the convenient touchless dispenser on our reception counter, and you are welcome to wash your hands with soap and water before and after your massage and after using the restroom. We also provide face masks in adult and child sizes for those who don't have one that fits properly. At the bottom of this blog post, you'll find a short video about how to quickly achieve the best fit with a surgical mask!

When you come to us for massage, you can feel assured that we are taking every reasonable precaution, and you'll have a great experience. We look forward to seeing you again soon!

FAQ: Are masks required?

7/2/2020

1 Comment

 
​Yes, masks are required. There are no exceptions. For the safety of our staff and clients, people that are unable / unwilling to wear masks are not permitted to enter Eagan Massage Center.

​We encourage people to wear surgical masks or 100% cotton masks with at least 3 layers of material. Masks must cover your chin, mouth, and nose. If your mask is too loose or too small, we will provide you with an appropriate surgical mask to wear during your massage. If you don't have one with you, we will provide a mask that must be worn.

During your massage, we have made special arrangements so you might temporarily move the mask (if needed) while you are face down. If you ask, our massage therapists will be happy to show you. You must have your mask on properly when in any position other than face down. 

We look forward to a time when masks won't be necessary, but that is likely to be at least a year away from now. We are continuing to follow medical research, best practices guidelines, and epidemiology related to COVID-19 and other infectious diseases, and will adapt our policies as appropriate.

We understand that you are eager to get massages, and we look forward to opening again. If all goes well, we hope to open by July 6th. Our scheduling is not yet open, and we will notify you when it is available.

We are still waiting for some supplies and personal protective equipment (PPE) that are back ordered, and we will train all of our employees to understand and follow all updated policies and procedures. We are creating a comprehensive COVID-19 plan, as all businesses are required to. We will post it on our website when it is finalized. Below, we are sharing some parts of our plan that will result in noticeable changes so you have some idea of what to expect.

Please remember that many of these changes are temporary. We can not do business as usual since this is an unusual time.

NOTE: If you feel sick, please cancel your appointment and you will not be charged a cancellation fee. We appreciate as much notice as possible so we have time to fill that spot but we do realize sometimes sickness can come on over night.

1. When you arrive for an appointment, you will text to alert us, then wait in your car.

2. Our receptionist will call you and ask some screening questions over the phone. You will be notified by text when your therapist is ready for you to come in. When you enter, we will take your temperature with a touchless thermometer. Our receptionists will be wearing masks and may be wearing gloves and a face shield. All employees will go through a similar screening process every time they come to work. You will be asked to sign a form the first time you return. We ask that you arrive 10 minutes early.

3. You will be asked to bring a face mask. If you do not, one will be provided. EVERYONE (clients and staff) will be required to wear a mask at all times. We understand this is will feel different, but we need to keep our employees safe so they can remain healthy and continue to work. It is also important for the health of other people who may be more susceptible to infection. We are following safety standards and guidelines developed by our state, the federal government, medical experts, and national massage therapy organizations.

4. You will need to use the hand sanitizer we provide when you enter the premises. The touchless dispenser will be convenient for you. We also recommend that you wash your hands with soap and water before and after your massage. Used paper towels / tissues will be deposited in any of the closed-lid waste containers with foot pedals.

5. Your therapist will take you back to the room. All massage therapists will be wearing a mask, eye protection/face shield, and a clean smock/apron with each client. Upon your request, they will wear gloves. You may even remain clothed during your session if you prefer. Our therapists will be prepared for those requests. However, they are also well trained to wash their hands properly, which research shows is more beneficial than wearing gloves.

6. Because the most current research shows COVID-19 virus is transmitted mainly via tiny water droplets exhaled during talking, sneezing, coughing, and regular breathing, we recommend that clients and therapists limit talking during massage sessions. Wearing your mask during the massage will also help, but we are still looking at ways to make it safe for you to temporarily remove your mask when face down during a massage.

7. At first, we will only offer 1 hour massages so we can control the traffic flow and minimize the number of people in the lobby and hallway at any time. We will increase scheduled time between clients so we can clean and sanitize thoroughly with medical grade disinfectants while continuing to filter the air.

8. The schedules of our therapists may be different when they return to work, and some may not rejoin us immediately due to their own considerations. Our online scheduling will reflect availability of appointments and therapists, and will be updated to reflect any changes. Also, we will not be offering pregnancy or Thai massage when we first reopen. We are being cautious to protect you and our staff.

9. You will notice air purifiers in each room, the lobby, and the hallway. These are highly efficient purifiers that have a True HEPA filter, carbon filter, and internal UV-C light to help make the air safer.

10. Under the table linens, we have installed comfortable non-porous table covers that can and will be thoroughly sanitized between appointments. We will also have special covers for pillows, bolsters, and face cradles.

Please understand this has taken a lot of thought and research to put together, and these things are only part of our plan. Our employees will be trained to follow the new protocols and policies without exceptions. We understand that some people may not like parts of this plan, and some may decide not to return for massage until those parts are relaxed/eliminated. We hope it will not be long before that can be done.

We take the safety of you and our employees very seriously. We want to keep everyone as safe as possible during this pandemic, and so we will do our best to minimize risks for everyone.

NOTE: For those who are immune compromised and those who are otherwise particularly susceptible to respiratory infections or blood clots, we recommend that you delay getting massage therapy for now. There is ongoing research that will provide greater clarity regarding safety and risk mitigation over the next few months, and we will welcome you back when it is appropriate for us to do so.

You will see this sign in our front window:

We want everyone to feel safe, comfortable, and welcome regardless of their background. We are proud of the diversity in our staff over the years; we love and support our employees, and do our best to provide a great place for them to serve you and the rest of our clients.

If everything goes well, we hope to open on July 6th. We will issue updates, as we are still awaiting some of the equipment that is on order.

Many thanks to the folks at Stratasys, who have provided tens of thousands of 3D printed face shields to medical and complementary care providers at no charge. Their generosity during this pandemic is admirable!

Jason and Kelly tested them for fit and function!

Here's Jason modeling eye goggles and a face shield in our lobby. This is some of the personal protective equipment our staff may be wearing when we reopen. Stylish, right?

Hoping to open again in July

We know you are looking forward to getting a massage again, and we thank for your patience and grace. We are preparing to open again, starting with a limited schedule.

Unfortunately, we don't know the exact date on which we will be available to provide service. Many of the supplies we need have not yet arrived, and we need them before we can train our staff in their use. We are hoping to have everything in place and employees trained by early July. You can trust that we will make our environment as safe as we possibly can without sacrificing any more comfort or convenience than is necessary.

If you're on our contact list, you can expect an email with a summary of our new COVID-19 guidelines in the near future. They will also be made available on our website. Until then, please check out our Facebook page for photos, updates, etc.:

We are excited to see you again. We miss you! Please take appropriate precautions and stay well, and we will do the same.
