Supporting our Frontline Workers in Alberta

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

REFLEXOLOGY THERAPISTS ARE BACK TO WORK AND READY TO SUPPORT OUR FRONTLINE WORKERS

July 28, 2020 – Calgary, AB

As many Registered Canadian Reflexology Therapists (RCRT™s) in Alberta return to work, the first thing on their agenda is giving back to frontline workers by paying it forward.

Participating therapists will be offering complimentary or discounted reflexology sessions for frontline workers now that it is possible to do so.

““This is just a small token of gratitude for the many men and women who have risked a lot for Albertans over the past few months,” said Hayley Dow, President of the Reflexology Association of Canada – Alberta Chapter.

“They’ve done and continue to do their part. Now, it’s our turn.”

Research has shown that reflexology may help reduce stress levels, pain management, increase circulation and improve overall wellness. For many workers who have been on their feet during this pandemic, reflexology may help release some of that tension.

Frontline workers can go to www.reflexologycanada.org to find a participating RCRT™ near them. Members of the public can do the same to contribute to a campaign supporting their local frontline workers.

Telehealth and Reflexology

Due to COVID-19, most provinces have issued statements on the closures of all non-essential services. Consequently, the Reflexology Association of Canada (RAC) has recommended that all members refrain from meeting with clients in-person until further notice.

In these unprecedented times, RAC remains committed to supporting its members, the credibility of this profession, and the safety of the public.

We understand that many RCRT™s want to continue supporting their clients and are exploring the possibility of doing so via electronic or virtual means. While we understand that these types of communications are important for a variety of reasons, as per our scope of practice, a reflexology session cannot be delivered by online means, because it does not meet the Association’s definition of “reflexology.”

If a therapist chooses to provide other services via electronic or virtual means, they must ensure that clients understand that these services cannot be named or billed as reflexology.

In our commitment to support our members, the credibility of this profession, and the safety of the public, we will continue to evaluate the option of providing reflexology services via electronic or virtual means.

Complying with Canada’s Anti Spam Law (CASL)

In these extraordinary times, many of us are working hard to find ways to stay connected with our clients. Email, newsletters, and text messages are wonderful means to this but, please remember that these communications are governed by Canada’s Anti Spam Law (CASL).

Three things to keep in mind:
1) You must obtain consent from any and all recipients of commercial messages before sending the message. This includes messages about online courses, meditations, sales on products, etc.
2) Confidentiality must be maintained for the recipients of your communications. If you use a newsletter service or software, this is usually a given but, if you are emailing a group of people, you have to conceal the recipient’s email addresses by using “bcc”.
3) Your message must include the following information somewhere in the email or in the signature:
your business name,
• a current mailing address,
• at least one of the following: a phone number, email address or website address,
• a readily accessible unsubscribe mechanism that is actioned within 10 business days at no
cost to the recipient.

Ensuring these three things will help you keep CASL Compliant while you stay in touch with your clients!

For more information, please see: https://crtc.gc.ca/eng/internet/anti.htm.
