What is Medical Massage?
Medical massage is treatment based and focuses on therapy for specific injuries, pain relief, improvement of functioning, and resolving medical conditions. Doctors and chiropractors prescribe medical massage therapy for a variety of issues. Because licensed massage therapists are not permitted to determine diagnoses, the therapist works based on the doctor's diagnosis and prescription for treatment. Medical massage MUST be prescribed by a doctor.
