If your insurance covers massage or manual therapy services, this is the treatment to choose. Medical massage can include elements of relaxation, deep tissue, or a specialized modality. These sessions include an initial intake, assessment, massage treatment, and progress charting.
Medical massage can cut your healing time in half by decreasing pain, improving range of motion, and reducing scarring within ligaments, tendons, and muscles.
Research has shown that massage can reduce heart rate, lower blood pressure, and increase blood circulation and lymph flow," according to the University of California San Francisco Medical Center. "It also relaxes muscles, improves range of motion, and increases endorphins, which can enhance medical treatment."
We can coordinate your treatment with other healthcare practitioners and submit bills directly to your insurance company when appropriate. If you have questions about using insurance towards your visit, see our insurance FAQ page for more details.
