A lot of people are not aware of the fact that their medical coverage through their employer, spouse, or parents’ insurance benefits may cover massage therapy. Almost all insurance plans cover a maximum amount within a set period of time (typically a year). However, it also means that if you are under your maximum limit then you are not making the most of your plan and are leaving money on the table.
If you have a plan and have not used all your massage coverage yet, then you are essentially letting your coverage go to waste.
Registered massage therapy works Using workplace insurance to cover the cost of registered massage therapy helps to alleviate both physical and mental conditions including:
Shoulder pain
Hip pain
Back pain
Neck pain
Headaches/Migraines
Muscle and joint pain R
Restricted movement
Anxiety and stress.
Relieve work stress with a massage One of the biggest benefits to patients is the stress relieving qualities of registered massage therapy.
Repetitive strain injuries (resulting from performing the same task over and over again, like typing, or working in factory or shop) now affects one in ten Canadians. Registered massage therapy is an effective preventative therapy for mitigating the strain caused by performing repetitive tasks.
Since massage alleviates physical and mental health conditions, and is an effective preventative therapy it has a broad range of applications. So, if massage is covered by your insurance plan then you should make the most of it during the stressful holiday season and before your benefits reset in January.
