Massage Therapy

Accidents, repetitive actions and everyday stresses can cause problems that sometimes seem to take up permanent residence in our bodies. If tension, pain or restricted movement keep you from living the life you want, massage can help! A gentle, effective therapy, massage can relieve pain and help heal certain conditions and prevent their return. And of course, massage can help to promote a general well sense of being!

Massage Therapy is a “hands on” therapy that can decrease muscle tension, increase circulation and calm the nervous system. The result is a cascade of physical and mental benefits that can help alleviate a wide variety of conditions.

How Will Massage Feel?

Massage on normal tissue is almost always pleasant. In an area of an injury or chronic pain, massage may at first cause some discomfort which usually subsides quickly. Your therapist knows ways to minimize pain without sacrificing effectiveness. Tell your massage therapist if you feel any discomfort so she or he can adjust the approach. We prefer that you get the best and most comfortable outcome in any modality that we offer.

Your Personalized Plan

On your fist visit, your massage therapist will ask general health questions and review any referring practitioner’s recommendations. Your therapist will then assess your problem area to determine the best approach in order to help you. The appropriate frequency, duration and number of massage sessions will depend on your issues, severity and length of said issues, as well as your general health.

Self Care Techniques

Your massage therapist can be an excellent resource for learning additional ways to release tension or help heal injuries outside of your massage sessions. Gateway Bodyworks is committed to helping you achieve the best you, you can be.

Does My Insurance Cover Massage Therapy?

Each insurance company has different rules and regulations on whether they will cover your treatment. Though we do not bill out, we can arm you with a cpt code for you to receive reimbursement if your insurance company allows. We do, however, accept Flex Spending.
