A first session begins with a health intake form and brief discussion about your goals, problem areas, and any medical conditions. The therapist will leave the room while you undress to your comfort level and lie on the massage table under a sheet. During the session (typically 60 to 90 minutes), the therapist works on the areas discussed, adjusting pressure based on your feedback. You should speak up if the pressure is too much or too little. After the session, the therapist may recommend stretches, hydration, and a follow-up schedule. Mild soreness for a day or two after deep tissue work is normal.
See a massage therapist for chronic muscle tension and pain (especially back, neck, and shoulders), recovery from sports injuries or intense exercise, headaches or migraines related to muscle tension, fibromyalgia, stress and anxiety reduction, post-surgical recovery (with your surgeon's approval), pregnancy-related discomfort (with a prenatal-certified therapist), and as part of a pain management plan alongside medical treatment. If you have a medical condition, check with your doctor before starting massage therapy.

Insurance coverage for massage therapy is limited. When covered, it typically requires a physician prescription for a specific medical diagnosis. Workers' compensation and auto injury insurance cover massage as part of rehabilitation. HSA and FSA funds can cover massage with a doctor's letter of medical necessity. Some employer wellness programs include massage benefits. Out-of-pocket costs are the norm for most people. Community massage clinics and massage schools offer reduced-rate sessions.
