Medical Massage

Massage is for medically necessary conditions using manual therapy techniques.  All of our therapists have specialized training as medical massage therapists. This massage is specifically directed to treat the patient who may have been diagnosed or prescribed massage by a physician and directed to work in a site-specific area.

 We use a variety of modalities or techniques during the treatment session related to manual therapy. As medical massage therapists, we are able to work with your doctor, physicians assistant, nurse practitioner, chiropractor, naturopath, acupuncturist, or physical therapist.  It’s a great benefit to work with this type of massage therapist so that you can concentrate on recovering faster with long-lasting results. A massage center that is experienced with insurance is an additional tool in your recovery.
