 Medical
Massage Increases the Benefits of
Your Doctor's Care
When you are in a doctor's care for treatment of disease,
illness or injury it's natural to want to heal as quickly
as possible with minimal discomfort. Talk with your
doctor about a prescription for medical therapeutic
massage to help speed your recovery.
Medical
massage promotes healing, can reduce pain and swelling,
provides stress relief and can reduce
the overall cost of health care. Four to six medical
massage treatments usually bring excellent results and
are covered by most insurance providers, L & I (covers
on-the-job injuries) and PIP (auto insurance).
