Medical Massage is Doctor prescribed

Massage Therapy treatments that are covered

by insurance.

A Medical Massage is Muscle Therapy

sessions set up by the person making the

appointment and has a prescription from their

Doctor and that insurance is covering the

treatments.

The person is now considered a

'patient'. Medical Massage treats specific

issues using medical massage techniques and

is not a full body massage. If the

Doctor prescribes a diagnosis of one body

region, the massage is approximately 30

minutes. If the Doctor prescribes two body

regions, then the appointment is approximately

60 minutes. The treatment sessions are

'outcome' based. Not time based.

If asked, "Can you get my _____?" (Insert body

area.) If the area in not on the Doctors orders, it

will not be worked.

Medical Massage is NOT a full body massage.

Should a 'client' become a 'patient' then the

focus will be on the Medical Massage. No

Relaxation Massages will be done during

the prescribed treatments.

Once the Doctors prescribed treatments are

complete, and the patient is released, then

Relaxation Massages can resume.

When a patient calls to set up an appointment,

s/he will be asked for:

• a copy of the prescription,
• if this is a car accident or injury,
  
• for the insurance information.
• a copy of drivers license and insurance card. 
  

Insurance information will be verified before

the appointment. At the appointment, you will

be asked to fill out the appropriate forms.
