Your practitioner will have you fill out an intake form that will help her prioritize the areas of focus for your treatment. Once you have completed the form and had a brief interview with your practitioner, she will leave the room so that you can disrobe for your massage. In a massage session, all areas of the body are covered by the sheets except the area that is currently being worked.
If you are coming for a treatment covered by health insurance, please bring a copy of your prescription and your insurance card so that we may make a copy of them for our records. Clients may also bring shorts and a sports bra to wear during the session if they are more comfortable doing so.
Prices and hours vary by practitioner so please see your individual practitioner’s web site for details on hours and rates.
Payments are due at the time of service, unless insurance is being billed. All practitioners accept only cash and checks at this time.
Each practitioner has separate polices for accepting insurance. Most massage therapy sessions covered by insurance require a prescription from a physician or chiropractor that provides the therapist with a treatment plan including:
- Start date for treatment
- Frequency of treatment
- Areas of focus
- Diagnosis codes
- Number of sessions prescribed
