Medical Massage
Medical Massage is a specialized form of soft tissue manipulation (Manual Therapy) that is outcome-based rather than focusing on general relaxation. Typically, it is part of a comprehensive care plan, where your Primary Care Physician, Chiropractor, or Doctor of Physical Therapy may refer you to address symptoms from car accidents, work-related injuries, or chronic pain conditions.
Unlike Wellness Care or Relaxation-oriented massage treatments, which often cover the whole body, Medical Massage targets specific areas where symptoms are present, along with related areas, aiming to provide symptom relief and help shorten recovery time. If you have a prescription for Massage Therapy, you will receive this type of Massage. However, Medical Massage sessions can also be scheduled out-of-pocket. Inform your practitioner of your needs, and we will gladly accommodate you.
We strive to make Medical Massage accessible to all. We offer insurance-covered services to clients and patients with prescriptions from Motor Vehicle Accidents (MVA), Workers’ Compensation Claims, and BCBS – Blue Cross Blue Shield members.
Motor Vehicle Accidents (MVA)
If you have experienced a Motor Vehicle Accident, you may be illegible to receive a prescription for Medical Massage Therapy from a Medical Doctor or Chiropractor. A claim/case number from your auto insurance provider is required for this service.
Treatment costs are billed directly to your auto insurance provider. No out of pocket expenses are billed to you.
Workers’ Compensation
If you’ve been injured on the job, and have an open claim through Worker’s Compensation, you are eligible to inquire with your treating Physician or Chiropractor about receiving a prescription for Medical Massage Therapy. When making an appointment, please ensure that you provide us with the date of injury/accident, as well as the name and phone number of your claim adjuster in addition to providing the claim/case number from your insurance provider.
Treatment costs are billed directly to your insurance provider. No out of pocket expenses are billed to you.
BCBS – Blue Cross Blue Shield

Contact your insurance company to determine your benefits or let us know if you need help determining your eligibility, copays, and whether or not to seek a prescription before scheduling.

Client copay and coinsurance prices will vary depending on your specific plan.
