Medical Massage Schools

Medical massage is a specialty within the massage therapy industry that focuses on providing massage therapy treatment to a specific part of the body as prescribed by a physician. In order for massage to be deemed medical massage, a physician must have diagnosed the patient and specifically prescribed massage as a necessary treatment. Massage therapists who work with physicians to provide medical massage to patients are often able to bill their client’s medical insurance, which is not common in other forms of massage.

Online colleges offering programs for Medical Massage

In order to perform medical massage, practitioners must meet the requirements for licensure or certification as a massage therapist in the state, or area, in which they intend to practice. Most states have passed legislation establishing statewide regulations for massage therapists. In states that do not have these statewide requirements, practitioners will need to contact local licensing or health regulatory agencies to determine the requirements for licensure in that jurisdiction.

Medical massage therapy is a growing profession and the demand for medical massage practitioners will continue to rise as the country’s population grows and ages.
