Therapeutic Massage, in conjunction with an established treatment plan, is a valuable and effective tool for many situations and conditions. Massage for a medical condition requires advanced training, and the therapists at Manual Therapy Inc. have the training necessary to address many medical conditions. As with any treatment, please make sure that Therapeutic Massage is appropriate and that it is not contraindicated for your condition.
Although several states license Massage Therapists, and the field of Massage Therapy is covered under some health insurance plans, in Oklahoma massage is typically not covered. Because of this, Health insurance rarely pays for massage in our state. Due to the unequal levels of training throughout the state, referring professionals cannot make a blanket referral for Massage Therapy.
The American Massage Therapy Association has a press release pertaining to the definition of medical massage, which is on our news page.
