How Much Does Massage Therapy Cost in San Ramon CA?

The cost of a massage can vary based on the facility you visit, the experience of the practitioner, the length and type of massage, and if you have insurance coverage to help offset the cost.

To avoid any surprises coming to the end of your massage, always get an estimate from your therapist before beginning treatment. This is also the optimal time to check if they accept your current line of coverage (if applicable).

During a massage, the skin, muscles, tendons, and ligaments are carefully manipulated to offer pain relief and better blood flow in these areas. You, the masseuse, will use varying grades of pressure, from soft to deep, to help relieve issues in targeted areas.

Massage is much more than just a treatment used for self-care and pampering. It is a form of integrative medicine that is often suggested alongside standard treatment to heal a variety of physical and mental ailments.

Massage therapy may be suggested to you if you struggle with any of the following medical issues:

• Anxiety
• Depression
• Digestive disorders
• Fibromyalgia
• General pain and soreness
• Headache
• High-stress levels
• Insomnia
• Joint inflammation
• Low energy levels

• Postoperative care
• Scar tissue
• Soft tissue strains and injuries
• Sports injuries

There are many different types and styles of massage therapy so it’s important to talk to your performing specialist about which one is right for you and your unique needs. Your massage therapist should always take the time to discuss your medical history, current health, and goals before starting any form of treatment.

Depending on your insurance provider, and the type of insurance plan that you have, massage therapy may be completely or partially covered. However, some insurance doesn’t cover massage services at all so it’s always important to check in with your provider before scheduling treatment so there are no surprises later on.
 
Most forms of insurance only provide coverage for massage if (1) it is medically necessary for treatment for rehabilitation purposes, (2) has been prescribed by your doctor, and (3) it fits the criteria of coverage as conveyed by the provider. There is often a limit or maximum amount payable over the course of the policy term, meaning that all or some of your service may be covered depending on the terms dictated by your provider.
 
Before getting a massage, check with your insurer to see what they’ll cover. If massage therapy isn’t covered, it’s worth asking to see if similar treatments – such as physiotherapy and chiropractic care – will be provided.
 
You’ll also want to ensure that the facility you’re visiting accepts the type of coverage you have, as many medical facilities only work with certain providers. The easiest way to find a massage therapist that your insurance covers is to check your insurance network, either online or by giving your provider a call, to see what specialists are available close by.
