Legal Disclaimer & Terms of Service
Last Updated: May 21st, 2026
The following disclaimers and terms apply to all services provided by Spartan Bodywork & Recovery, including appointments scheduled through our website, in person, or via third-party booking platforms, as well as all information provided on this website.
1. Not Medical Advice
The information, services, and content provided by Spartan Bodywork & Recovery (including text, graphics, images, and recommendations) are for general informational and physical wellness purposes only. We are not medical doctors, physical therapists, or chiropractors.
Our clinical bodywork, stretching routines, and recovery services (including myofascial cupping, IASTM/scraping, and thermal therapy) are not a substitute for professional medical evaluation, diagnosis, or treatment. Always consult your physician or a qualified healthcare provider regarding any severe injuries, chronic pain conditions, or medical concerns before beginning any new bodywork or recovery regimen.
2. Scope of Practice
Spartan Bodywork & Recovery focuses strictly on soft tissue manipulation, structural balance, and athletic recovery. We do not diagnose illness, disease, or any other physical or mental disorder. We do not prescribe pharmaceuticals, nor do we perform spinal manipulations or skeletal adjustments. If your condition requires medical intervention, we will refer you to an appropriate medical specialist.
3. Assumption of Risk
Clinical bodywork can be intense, especially when utilizing advanced modalities or addressing chronic tension. While we communicate constantly to ensure treatments remain within your tolerance, you acknowledge that participating in physical bodywork and recovery therapies carries inherent risks, including but not limited to temporary soreness, bruising (especially from cupping or scraping), or muscle fatigue. By booking a session, you agree that you are voluntarily participating in these services and assume full responsibility for any risks or outcomes.
4. Right to Update or Change Terms
Spartan Bodywork & Recovery reserves the right to modify, update, or change any part of this Disclaimer, our Terms of Service, or our pricing structure at any time without prior written notice. It is your responsibility to check this page periodically for updates. Your continued use of our website or scheduling of services following the posting of any changes constitutes your acceptance of those changes.
