Insurance
Coverage
Many patients come to us as a referral from a physician
for relief from pain as a result of an Auto Accident or from
working too much or playing too hard. Nearly all auto accident
and workers compensation insurance (and some health insurance)
will pay for massage therapy. We are always happy to check
with your carrier to confirm coverage for massage and, if
so, we will bill it for you.
Health
Benefits
In
addition to reducing stress, muscle soreness and pain in the
body, massage offers additional health benefits: reducing
fluid retention, increasing circulation of both blood and
lymph fluid systems, promoting healthier skin, strengthening
the immune system, increasing range of motion and enhancing
self image are to name a few.
Your
Treatment Plan
To
determine the best treatment for you, Gail will assess your
problem area, perhaps by gently feeling for tenderness, looking
at your posture or checking for restricted or painful movements.
If you have a prescription or medical referral, your general
health and present condition will be discussed before treatment
begins.
As a rule,
massage therapy clears the way for rapid results. Healing
is a process which takes time and depends on many individual
factors.
Treatment
sessions begin with an initial consultation and a short therapeutic
massage. The following treatment sessions will be from 45
minutes to one hour.
