FAQ

What do I wear to my appointment?

In the simplest form, wear what YOU are comfortable in. Massages can be done over top of clothing or directly to the skin, it is a personal choice for each patient. Lighter materials or sportswear is preferred if you choose to wear clothing.

Which service do I need and how long do appointments take?

If you are unsure of the treatment type or would like to chat pre-appointment please contact My Message Therapist to determine the course of treatment. The first appointment will include a conversation to determine the course of treatment. I will recommend treatments, but inevitably the treatment is up to the user. The following appointments can range from 30-90 minute sessions.

Is massage just for injuries?

No, massage therapy is not limited to injuries. Effective in reducing and managing both acute and chronic pain, massage therapy includes outer and inner components of treatment. From stress and relaxation to skin pathologies, to migraines, massage therapy can be used as a positive form of treatment for everyone alike. For athletes, massage therapy has been shown to reduce recovery time and improve performance.

Will my appointment be covered by insurance?

Most extended health care plans will cover massage therapy. Depending on the provider a doctor’s note may be needed to submit a claim. Our office does not provide direct billing – payment is due at the time of appointment and a receipt for insurance purposes will be issued for the client to submit to extended health coverage.
