In today’s world, massage therapy is finally being recognized as a away to relieve tension and muscle aches.  Yes, there are clients who do seek out massage for the sole purpose of having a spa day, and there is nothing wrong with that.  But the majority of clients, at least in my experience as a massage therapist, receive massage for healing purposes.  And while most who need a corrective approach are treated for muscle pain or emotional stress, some clients are prescribed massage for injuries or medical conditions.

When it’s a necessity for a specific condition, massage may be eligible for reimbursement.  The service can be covered by a health savings account (HSA) to pay for the massage, you must provide a letter of medical necessity from your doctor that therapeutic message is really needed and you'll be able to pay for your treatment by card otherwise it will be a out of pocket expenxe.
