Dale is that what they call a neuro massage .and i would assume it would hurt as

the muscles in those areas are not being stimulated by the brain and probably

wasting ? GEO

Dear Donna,

I am so glad!!! I am thinking it is about time to make an appointment on

Monday. You have a problem turning your head too? When i had my first and

only massage it really helped that. Another thing that i have found that

helps with these stiff necks is a heating pad that is like a neck brace that

you put in the microwave for a minute or so. It really loosens the muscles

and it supports the neck giving the muscles a little break. Rememmber to

drink lots of water and make another appt. soon. Take care.

EAT YOUR HEART OUT CONNIE!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now how did you know that would make me sooooo jealous? Not fair, Donna. I

bet if I went to one it'd be a " she " and as ugly as can be. How did you find

this " therapeutic " massage place? Do you pay for it yourself? Does Medicare

or insurance pay for it? I looked in our phone book and only find " regular "

massage place. I shouldn't even be " talking " to you Donna...You lucky stiff.

Oh, I guess you're not so stiff now. How about him? Did you do something for

him? Connie

Hi, gang,

Bettie Jo has a weekly massage, and feels that it helps quite a

bit with range of motion. The therapist brings her table to the

house and spends about an hour working on muscles and joints.

She uses different techniques for different needs during the

massage. HOwever, this is a bit more expensive than the client

going to the therapist's location, as long as thy are in private

practice. The " Day Spa " businesses often charge at a premium.

While massage therapy is not covered by Medicare, some

insurance policies are now allowing some payment or " credit " for

the service, as long as the therapist is registered with the

company. That, of course, requires the therapist to " discount "

their services. Remember that the cost of the massage therapy

is TAX DEDUCTIBLE as long as it is prescribed by a physician.

We have deducted the cost for three years, had have not had a

problem.

There ara couple of things to watch. Many states now require a

massage therapist be " certified " . Clients will want to check to

insure that the therapist is certified if it is required by their state.

Also, there are may different types of massage, and the

therapist should also be " certified " in each type of massage

used. That certification would come from the school or instructor

who trained the therapist. A therapist with only a little

knowledge and cause irreparable damage. A PA under the

guidance of her MD husband, once told Bettie Jo to do a certain

exercise. She did as she was instructed, but damaged a

shoulder in doing so. A year or so later it took a full cycle with a

good physical therapist to break the " adhesions " and return the

shoulder to use, albite some what limited.
