Massage With A Plan Behind It
Every course of treatment starts with an assessment and comes with a written plan. Sessions are 60 minutes unless noted.
Part Of Your Care Team, Not A Replacement For It
Medical massage works best as one part of a plan. We read the notes your doctor or physical therapist sends, ask what you can and can't do yet, and stay inside any limits they set. We don't diagnose. If something looks like it needs a medical opinion, we'll tell you and send you back to your provider.
- ✓Short assessment at the first visit
- ✓Written treatment plan with goals
- ✓Progress notes you can share

The Paperwork, Handled
You don't need a referral to book. If you have one, bring it: it helps us plan. We don't bill health insurance directly. Instead we give you an itemized receipt with the details your plan asks for, so you can submit it yourself. Massage may be HSA or FSA eligible with a letter of medical necessity from your doctor; check with your plan.
- ✓No referral needed to book

In Their Words
My physical therapist suggested massage alongside my shoulder rehab. They read her notes, asked what I could and couldn't do yet, and worked around it. My PT said the extra sessions helped keep things from tightening up between visits.
Ten years of a stiff neck from long days at the computer. They measured how far I could turn my head on the first visit and again at the sixth. Seeing the change written down kept me going.
Clear, professional and on time. They gave me an itemized receipt and the paperwork I needed for my HSA without me having to chase it.
Medical Massage FAQ
What's the difference between medical massage and a regular massage?
Medical massage is aimed at a specific problem, starts with an assessment, follows a written plan and tracks progress. A regular massage is usually about relaxing and general wellbeing.
Do you diagnose injuries?
No. Massage therapists don't diagnose. We work on injuries within your doctor's or physical therapist's plan and limits, and we'll send you back to them if something needs a medical opinion.
How soon after surgery can I come in?
Only once your surgeon clears you, which is often several weeks after the operation. Bring any instructions they gave you.
Do I need a referral?
No. A referral or your provider's notes help us plan, but you can book without one.
Do you take insurance?
We don't bill insurance directly. You pay at the visit, and we give you an itemized receipt to submit to your plan if it covers massage.
Can I use my HSA or FSA?
Massage may be eligible when your doctor writes a letter of medical necessity. Check with your plan before you book.
