CAN MASSAGE BENEFIT ME?

Massage provides relief to people from all walks of life - the weekend or competitive athlete, the home gardener, the overstressed executive struggling to keep pace in today's ecomomy. Secretaries, laborers, waitresses-anyone can feel a need for massage at some point in time. The older population, as well, will benefit from massage, as it enhances flexibility and circulation. There are some conditions where massage is not recommended, however. Your practitioner should ask for information regarding any specific health conditions from which you may be suffering in order to determine if massage or bodywork are contraindicated. In some cases, the practitioner may need your doctor's permission before providing services.

WILL MY INSURANCE COVER MASSAGE?

If you are in a car accident, insurance may cover massage when prescribed by a physician. If your insurance covers chiropractic or osteopathic services, the services of a bodywork professional may be covered when prescribed by a chiropractor or osteopath. Therapies provided as part of the prescribed treatment by a physician or registered physical therapist are often covered. The best thing to do is check with your insurance company to see exactly what is covered under what circumstances.
