Get answers to common questions about Medical Massage - 60 Mins.

Your therapist will review medical history and symptoms, focus on prescribed areas, and apply targeted manual techniques to improve circulation, stimulate lymphatic flow, and reduce swelling. The 60-minute session includes intake, focused treatment, and post-session care recommendations.

Insurance coverage varies; some plans reimburse medical massage with a physician referral or diagnosis code. We recommend contacting your insurer ahead of time and bringing a prescription or supporting documentation to maximize reimbursement eligibility.

Many clients feel immediate relief from increased circulation and reduced tightness, but measurable healing often requires multiple sessions. Results depend on condition severity, chronicity, and adherence to home care and follow-up guidance from your therapist.

Contraindications include acute infections, deep vein thrombosis, uncontrolled hypertension, recent fractures, or active cancer without clearance. Always disclose full medical history and obtain physician approval when required before receiving medical massage.

Arrive well-hydrated, wear comfortable clothing, and bring any physician referrals, imaging, or medical records. Avoid heavy meals beforehand and list current medications. Clear communication about symptoms helps your therapist tailor the 60-minute treatment safely.

You may feel pressure or brief discomfort as circulation and lymph flow increase; therapists adjust to your comfort level. Mild soreness can occur afterward as tissues release. Communicate sensations so techniques are modified for your safety and therapeutic benefit.
