At Healing Touch Charlotte, Inc. professional massage therapists successfully practice Medical Massage.
Medical Massage is not a specific technique but a therapy prescribed by a physician as an additional or main treatment for several conditions. That’s why medical massage is covered by most insurance plans in some states. Medical massage therapists must have a strong background in pathology, disease, and injury to be able to utilize specific massage techniques related to various medical conditions. Medical massage involves manipulation of soft tissues like skin, muscles and connective tissues.
