Let’s work together to create a path for your health.
Regularity with Routine Care
Like the Gym, regular massage is essential to your health. While spot treatment is excellent for the occasional tweak or injury, help your body not just be ready for that issue, but help it normalize your body functions, and daily recovery.
We recommend getting a massage at least once a month, if not more. It’s your own cost-benefit analysis that allows you to decide to get one weekly, every other week, or monthly.
Most doctors, when prescribing for HSA & FSA purposes, tend to write the prescriptions for 12 visits.
NOTE: We offer a 5% Discount to facilitate this monthly care if you come within 5 weeks/35 days of your previous session.
Jump-start Your Care
Weather you’re coming in from an injury or years of abusing your body, its often best to start with multiple sessions.
What does multiple sessions look like?
That depends significantly on your cost-benefit analysis. For major issues, some studies have shown that 2-3 sessions a week for 4-12 weeks is a good starting point. The VA starts its Standard of Care by approving 12 visits in a 12-week period.
Save: Come twice in a single calendar month
Come within 21 days of each other, and take 10% off the second visit.

Medical Massage Units?
Medical massages are scheduled in 15-minute segments, referred to as “Units”. Most insurance programs limit their coverage to 4 units within a 24-to 36-hour period.* That may include other therapies with other providers, so check with your insurance company to ensure it will be covered. (See Insurance & SuperBill’s below)
Planning your path:
Our typical service is an hour for insurance-covered services, and ninety minutes for self-pay.
Insurance & SuperBills:
In Missouri and Kansas, most insurance companies do not directly cover massage therapy services. However, we offer to print a SuperBill that you can submit for reimbursement. This reimbursement is typically only offered by Automotive insurance. Workman’s comp often limits services to “Their Approved Providers”, and they may limit coverage if you seek outside/duplicate care.
Always check with your claims adjuster or attorney if you are getting
NOTE:
* While they don’t cover massage therapy in MO/KS, Per United Healthcare’s Medicaid division:
- Kansas prohibits a maximum
- Missouri Medicaid allows up to 5 units
- Arizona allows up to 8 Units
- Wisconsin allows up to 6 Units
- 3 other states also restrict the limits
i.e., Within Reason/No Automatic Limit; But they’ll fight you if they can.
Conclusion: Longer than an hour is effective, but insurance still likes to balk/limit coverage. Occasionally, a “Modifier” can be added to typical billing if necessary, but it’s highly discouraged.
What’s your session length?
We can book sessions from 1-8 Units in length. 15 Minutes to 2 hours.

Medical Grade Prices are flat-rate. That means its a no-tipping service.
Yes, Tipping is graciously accepted, especially if your insurance company discounts the service below the typical spa price in the area.
Prices include additional notes and an understanding of the risks associated with the sessions. Please let us know if you’re submitting this for reimbursement or paying with FSA/HSA, so we can ensure the notes better reflect what’s needed to facilitate reimbursement and approval.
NOTE: Session lengths: Hands-on time may vary by up to 7 minutes. Any times booked on the schedule are for the use of the room. If you require extra time to disrobe or get dressed, that may be an extra self-pay item.
