Business was already way down at many of them before the gov shut the state down. Even AMPs rely on legit customers to stay in business and people really don't want to be laying on the same table as who knows how many others since it was last cleaned. The AMP I go to is legit, and they closed at least a week before the state was shut down. They responded to phone calls and just made appointments because they had zero walk-in customers. Also, to practice in WI, you need a massage license from WI. I betting that most of the ones hanging in AMPs would not match the names of any one working there, and you can bet the state would be paying much more attention to the little details now. I know dozens of LMTs, and they are all not working, because it's just not worth the risk. I've heard before this so many stories about how disgusting people are with their hygiene, that its no surprise that the therapists don't want to be around most right now. As one told me last week, "I trust you, but I don't want to be in a position of deciding who to trust, especially since some carriers arent showing any signs of being sick".

Not sure about Fish Hatch but the road construction in front surely is not helping. Angel still has a sign, but was dead. King st dead. Relax still closed. Foot spa was closed. Not sure how many will make it to true Grand Reopening. Its bad when a guy can't even get his therapeutic on. Wow.
As soon as one AMP closes another one opens up somewhere else. I wouldn't worry about a Madison with no AMPs. They just won't be around with things as they are, once restrictions are lifted I would expect them back. The Mama I know told me as much they just don't have a time frame.

WI passed that law requiring all massage businesses employ licensed therapists. This put the kibosh on many providers. However, those with the license are considered essential. The problem is, the asian spas closed during covid-19 anyway, despite being exempted, either because of fear of the virus or ignorance they were essential. Either way, they are currently closed, but I expect even if many close and never return, some new ones will open. The only problem is we will have to go about the business of finding out which ones are good and which ones are not.

End of an era?

Massage therapists are considered essential because they're a health service. Most of the places discussed aren't therapists.

I assume that the GH will be closed until the stay home order gets lifted, so I am assuming they will be closed until the day after Memorial Day.
