AMESSAGE FROM SAMANTHA REAM DIRECTOR OF MASSAGE THERAPY NEWSLETTER Health & Wellness Newsletter Live Life Pain-free
Did you know that you may be able to start physical and/or massage therapy without seeing a doctor first? Think back to the last time you felt great. Really great. The last time you didn’t feel any pain, even when sitting down to relax. For many of us, we have become so accustomed to these little aches and pains that we forget there was ever a time that they weren’t there. Those who have turned to physical therapy or massage therapy to break the chains of pain and immobility have discovered improved quality of life and renewed energy levels. Having a physical or massage therapist as part of your healthcare team can be the difference between living with pain and living without it. You are the most important member of your health care team and have the freedom to choose the most appropriate provider to meet your goals. Physical therapists are experts in the way the body moves. Physical therapists help you maintain mobility and quality of life. They can get youmoving and enjoying life again through scientifically-based treatment approaches that focus on reducing pain, restoring function and preventing injury. A physical therapist’s main goal is to help you achieve a healthy, active lifestyle!

In Florida, “direct access” is limited to 30 calendar days. After 30 days, you and your therapist can work together to obtain a signed Plan of Care from an approved healthcare
provider, which allows for continued treatment. Many of the insurance policies allow direct access for physical and/or massage therapy. We would be happy to check your insurance policy to see if you have direct access coverage to physical therapy or massage therapy services.
