Adding clinical massage to your health care is a comprehensive approach to addressing your physical dysfunction needs. Orthomed often works in conjunction with your medical doctor, chiropractor, and/or physical therapist. This treatment consists of deep tissue friction and muscular therapy combined with myofascial release to address adhesion and scar tissue associated with structural injury, pain syndrome, and soft tissue dysfunction. Treatment includes structural analysis, stretching, and range of motion. Your treatment plan will be discussed with you on increasing awareness of physical habitual holding patterns, your ergonomic environment, physical limitations and decreased range of motion. As part of your home care, you will be provided with a stretching education program based on relevant areas of limitation. After this treatment targeted session you will feel relaxed, energized, and on your way to functioning pain free.

The primary difference between clinical and medical massage therapy is prescription for massage therapy services by your medical doctor. Medical Massage therapy is a treatment approached specialized manual therapy to a focal site of soft tissue injury by physician diagnosis. Treatment program and treatment frequency is determined by your medical team.We will work with you to work with your health insurance company to assist with relevant documentation.

Insurance policies we work with are Workman's Comp Insurance, PIP auto accident/collision, and Med Pay. All Medical Massage Services require pre-payment of service before treatment begins. Please contact our office for a phone consultation.
