Write down and bring any questions you have. We are here to help you. Wear loose, comfortable clothing for easy disrobing and access to areas. Do not eat large meals just before or after your visit. Refrain from overexertion, working out, drugs or alcohol for up to six hours after the visit. Avoid stressful situations. Make time to relax, and be sure to get plenty of rest. Between visits, take notes of any changes that may have occurred, such as the alleviation of pain, pain moving to other areas, or changes in the frequency and type of problems.

Insurance coverage varies from state to state. Contact your insurance provider to learn what kind of care is covered. Here are a few questions to ask:  Will my plan cover massage therapy treatments? How many visits per calendar year? Do I need a referral? Do I have a co-pay? Do I have a deductible? If yes, has it been met?

Rates vary and depend upon what procedures are performed. It is best to consult with your massage therapist about costs.

The number of treatments will vary from person to person. Some people experience immediate relief; others may take months or even years to achieve results. Chronic conditions usually take longer to resolve than acute ones. Plan on a minimum of a month to see changes, but typically after each treatment you will feel totally relaxed.

Treatment frequency depends on a variety of factors: your constitution, the severity and duration of the problem. A massage therapist may suggest one or two treatments per week, or monthly visits for health maintenance and seasonal “tune ups”.  Treatment frequency is also determined by your primary healthcare provider (your primary doctor) in the case of private health insurance, workman’s compensation claims and motor vehicle accident claims.
