FAQs - About Masssage Therapists

How can I find a massage therapist in Hampton City County?

To find a massage therapist near you, input your city, town, suburb, zip code, or a provider's name in the search bar at the top of the page. From there, you can filter by treatment technique, area of concern, and provider gender to find a massage therapist who matches your needs.

When you visit a massage therapist's profile, you can get a better idea if they're the right fit for you. Consider things like session cost, type of massage therapy provided, and their location. If someone seems like a good match, you can email them or call the number on their profile. When speaking with a potential massage therapist, pay attention to whether or not you feel comfortable in the conversation and how knowledgeable they are about your specific concerns. It may also be helpful to ask more about their general approach to wellbeing and what credentials they hold in massage therapy.

What is massage therapy and what are the benefits?

Massage therapy focuses on treating soft tissues, such as muscles, through techniques like rubbing, kneading, and other forms of manual contact. While often used to address sore muscles or soft tissue injuries, it can also serve as a preventative treatment or a way to promote overall wellness. Massage therapy is typically categorized into two main approaches: clinical and wellness-oriented. Clinical massage is more intensive and often provided in healthcare settings, such as physical therapy clinics or doctors’ offices, to address specific injuries or conditions. In contrast, wellness massages are commonly offered in spas, gyms, or hotels and focus on general relaxation and overall well-being.

Both clinical and wellness-oriented massages can be highly beneficial. For those with various physical injuries, massage can reduce symptoms of pain and swelling, as well as promote blood flow and speed up healing. Massage therapy can also be beneficial as a tool to promote relaxation and reduce stress, and many practitioners incorporate other integrative modalities into massage therapy sessions, such as mindfulness or natural oils. In addition, there are many different types of massage therapies, such as deep tissue, hot stone, Swedish, and sports massage, thus allowing clients to explore the specific modality that best fits their lifestyle.

Who can practice massage therapy?

To practice massage therapy in most states, massage therapists must obtain a state-specific license. Because massage therapy is regulated at the state level, licensure requirements and practice regulations can vary. However, most states require therapists to complete a minimum number of educational and supervised experience hours for licensure. Additionally, states may mandate that massage therapists pass a licensure exam and/or fulfill ongoing education requirements to maintain their license.

Beyond state licensure, some massage therapists pursue additional certifications to enhance their qualifications. For example, they may obtain Board Certification through the National Certification Board for Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork (NCBTMB) or certifications offered by professional organizations like the American Massage Therapy Association (AMTA). These credentials are nationally recognized and require meeting standardized knowledge and skill benchmarks. Massage therapists may also undergo specialized training to focus on specific populations, such as sports massage for athletes.

What is the difference between a licensed massage therapist (LMT) and a certified massage therapist (CMT)?

A licensed massage therapist (LMT) is someone who holds state licensure in massage therapy. In contrast, a certified massage therapist (CMT) typically indicates additional credentialing with a national organization, such as the National Certification Board for Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork (NCBTMB). National Board Certification can indicate a minimum standard of knowledge, as it requires passing a standardized examination, as well as a commitment to ongoing education. Since some states, such as Kansas, do allow the practice of massage therapy without a license, Board Certification for practitioners in such states may be particularly appealing to indicate a commitment to quality.

How much does it cost to see a massage therapist?

Massage therapy typically costs between $60 and $150 per hour, although exact costs can vary depending on therapy type, massage therapist experience, and location. Some massage therapists may also offer session packages or discounts, which can be a great option for clients looking to reserve multiple sessions at once.

Does insurance cover massage therapy?

Massage therapy is generally not covered by insurance. In rare cases, a medical doctor may deem massage therapy medically necessary, but even then, it is unlikely to be fully covered by commercial insurance plans. Additionally, government programs like Medicaid and Medicare currently do not provide coverage for massage therapy services.

To reduce the financial burden, some clients seek providers who offer services on a sliding scale or reduced-price basis. In some cases, clients may also be able to use funds from a Health Savings Account (HSA) to pay for massage therapy.
