They are leaning more toward using a combination of methods, seeing what helps your client most, and also more use of essential oils to promote well being.

I am a massage therapist as are many of my friends.  I work in the spa setting and I have a friend who works in the chiropractic setting.  She rarely receives tips from her clients.  But really, tipping is a personal decision.  If you feel like he/she really did help you, and you can afford to tip them...it is always greatly appreciated.

I haven't had it personally, but many of my massage therapy clients have over 11 yrs of practice.  Unfortunately, most were unsatisfied with the results.  Incidentally, the physician who created the surgery spoke out later that it was not the cure for carpal tunnel.  I guess by that point, it was too big a business to stop it - people have it every day.\nAnyway, a good therapeutic massage therapist may be able to help you more, while costing you less (esp. if insurance will cover it - some do - must have a doctor's prescription.)  Working on the potential nerve impingement, postural distortion, and related factors should give you relief that cutting the ligaments in the carpal tunnel may not and which is far riskier.\nAsk any surgeon - for themselves, surgery is usually the last option to consider!  \nGood luck to you!

Massage Therapists have a unique benefit of being allowed to have their own private practices, treat clients in their homes, and work for doctors, sports clubs, or any other business entity. Massage Therapists, who choose not to apply for their City Licenses, may practice in a medical, physical therapy, or chiropractic office. \n\nMassage Therapist who choose to work for themselves earn on average between $60 to $85 per massage.\n\nMassage Therapists who work for someone earn between $20 to $45 per hour. Massage Therapists that work in exclusive country clubs or health spas, earn an additional $10 to $20 per hour on tips given by appreciative clients.\n\nSome insurance companies will compensate the doctor, or the massage therapist directly, for the work performed at an average rate of $65 per massage.

depends what you mean with best massage ?\n1) profesional or the ones with happy endings......\n2) massage is very personal, do you want soft /relaxing\nor strong 'more painfull".\n3) What time do you have , would advise massage min for 60-90 minutes full body 120 minutes is the best. Do not do the 20-30 min. \n4) I personally prefer massage by male therapist\nas they are "stronger" /  more effcience.

I would guess you would use 97124 which is for massage.  The definition by CPT for massage includes efflurage, petrissage, and tapotement.  I would guess that therapeutic touch could count as efflurage.

Not without specialized training. It's not a standard taught in massage school.\n\nI could see a scenario where a massage therapist works for a chiropractor. They often use ultrasound treatments for pain management. The chiropractor could have an in-house training program for his support staff...including the staff massage therapist.\n\nUltrasound therapy for pain management is not a complicated procedure, but if the therapist is doing it outside a clinical practice with professional oversight, I'd sure want to see some evidence that there was some formal training in it's use.

Swedish massage is one of the more relaxing types.  Shiatsu is more Asian and it has to do with certain points or tsubos of the body.  Deep tissue is only working further into the tissue and I would more than likely recommend this to only experienced people in massage or athletes because it releases more of the body's toxins.  Thirty minutes is more than enough time to get a massage, however, an hour is the time that is most requested.\nBy the way, licensed massage therapists are NOT allowed to "suck you off", and in fact, that is why we are no longer called "Masseuses or Masseurs" and we have an established licensing and certification program.  It is 500 hours in an approved massage school in Arkansas, with most of those hours dedicated to learning anatomy, physiology, and technique.

I would love to have a massage once and awhile..but I am a typical man. A bit chunky and a little hairy. I save the employees the grief and just do not go...I guess I should consider the waxings.......NAH!!

This is the real hippa law. Also contact your states health dept for thier laws. Each state goes by the federal and they can have thier own that can be tougher than the federal law. \n\nIt may depend on how your state sees massage therapist and how it licenses them. That can be found out by the state govt as well. \n\nOverview\nOverview; The HIPAA Law and Related Information; Rule Making Process (creating and publishing regulations ...
