What is the difference between medical massage and relaxation massage?

Medical massage targets specific health conditions like chronic pain or injuries and is typically performed under a prescription from a physician or other healthcare provider, while relaxation massage focuses on overall stress relief and wellness.

Do I need a referral from a doctor?

Typically no, but if you plan to file a health insurance claim for medical massage, a physician’s or other healthcare provider’s prescription is required.

How many sessions will I need?

The number of sessions is typically dictated by the length of time you have had the existing condition, using the guideline of one month at 2-3 times a week of treatment for each year you have had the existing condition.

Is massage therapy safe if I have a medical condition?

Yes, massage can often be adapted for medical conditions, unless you present bruises, bone breaks, or open wounds, in which case, those are contraindicated, and I will avoid those areas during massage. I’ll review your health history to ensure a safe and effective session.
