Questions? You’re Covered
What types of massage do you offer?
We offer a wide range of therapeutic massage techniques to address various health needs. Depending on your condition and goals, our licensed massage therapists may use deep tissue massage to target chronic tension, Swedish massage for overall relaxation, trigger point therapy to release specific muscle knots, or myofascial release to improve mobility and reduce soft tissue restrictions. Every session is tailored to your body’s needs, ensuring a personalized and effective experience.
How long is a typical session?
The duration of your massage session will depend on your individual treatment plan. Most sessions last between 30 to 60 minutes. A shorter session may focus on a specific issue such as lower back pain, while a full-hour session allows for more comprehensive treatment of multiple areas. During your initial visit, we’ll discuss your goals and recommend a session length that best suits your condition and schedule.
Is massage covered by insurance?
In some cases, yes — therapeutic massage may be covered under certain insurance plans when it is medically necessary and prescribed as part of a treatment plan. We recommend checking with your insurance provider to verify your benefits. Our office staff is also happy to assist you in understanding your coverage and helping with any necessary documentation for reimbursement.
Can massage help with chronic pain?
Massage therapy can be a very effective tool in managing chronic pain. Conditions such as fibromyalgia, tension headaches, sciatica, and postural strain often respond well to regular therapeutic massage. By improving circulation, reducing muscle tension, and encouraging relaxation, massage helps break the cycle of chronic pain and enhances overall function and comfort.
How often should I get a massage?
The recommended frequency of massage therapy depends on your specific needs. For general wellness and stress relief, a monthly session may be sufficient. If you’re recovering from an injury, managing chronic pain, or dealing with high levels of physical or emotional stress, more frequent sessions — such as weekly or biweekly — may be more beneficial. Our team will help you develop a massage plan that aligns with your health goals and lifestyle.
