Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

  •  Is there any difference between the Neuromuscular massage therapy that you offer and the manual physical therapy that you do?

    • The manual techniques are the same whether I'm doing them under my massage therapy license or my physical therapy license.

  • Should I specify Neuromuscular massage therapy or physical therapy when I refer patients to you?

    • For patients with non-specific pain or pain that persists after an injury should have healed, you may follow your preference.  If you specify physical therapy, the history and exam are more thorough.  If you specify Neuromuscular massage therapy, the patient's expectations are more in alignment with the actual treatment, and we are able to spend more time on treatment during the first visit.

      For medically complex patients or patients needing guidance on better body mechanics, physical therapy is indicated.

  • What about Medicare patients?

    • I don't accept insurance of any kind, and I've been advised by my attorney to not accept cash from Medicare patients for physical therapy visits.  Therefore, I can only offer massage therapy to Medicare patients.
