Medical Massage
Medical Massage is outcome-oriented instead of time-oriented. that means the therapist will preform a visual assessment and make a treatment plan for your condition your body presents or what the doctor has prescribed. If you are looking for reimbursement from your insurance you will first need to call you insurance to see if they cover medical massage and then get a prescription from your doctor.
The major characteristics of medical massage compared to any other type of bodywork is the selectivity of its application. There are four types of tissue that the massage practitioner deals with: skin with subcutaneous tissues, connective tissue structures, skeletal muscles, and periosteum. Each type of soft tissue has its own unique structure and unique combination of peripheral receptors. From this point of view the practitioner should not rely on the medical benefits of Therapeutic Massage alone because it target all the soft tissues at the same time. However, methods of Medical Massage were designed to selectively target each type of soft tissue separately and for each separate condition. Each method of medical massage has its own goals , techniques and level of application.
