To get reimbursed for Medical or PIP/L&I massages, check if your insurance covers both in-network and out-of-network services. Many providers offer quick online processing, but this can vary. If covered, request a general massage therapy prescription with a diagnosis code from your doctor. They can fax it to us at (425) 437-5886 or you can upload it with your massage request form. In-network clients will have their insurance billed directly, while out-of-network clients will receive a super bill for reimbursement. Copay or co-insurance is required at the time of service for in-network clients, and full payment is due for out-of-network clients. We accept FSA and HSA payments. Contact us with any questions.

Your massage will take place in a comfortable, quiet room where you will lie on a table specifically designed for your comfort. You may ask for the table to be warmed and soft music may be played to help you relax.

You should undress to your comfort level. Traditionally massage sessions are performed with the client unclothed, however, it's completely up to you. You will be properly draped during the entire session to perserve modesty.

The massage therapist will step out of the room while you undress, allowing you time to get comfortable on the table under the sheets and blanket. They will knock to check that you are ready before returning to the room.

You will be properly draped at all times both to keep you warm and comfortable. The therapist will adjust the coverings to expose the area on which they are working.

Typically, a full-body massage will include working on your back, arms, legs, feet, hands, head, neck, and shoulders. If you have an area you would like to have excluded during your session, please let your therapist know ahead of time. Your comfort and preferences are our priority.

During a Swedish massage, you'll feel broad, flowing strokes that help calm your nervous system and relax your muscles. As you relax, the therapist will gradually increase pressure to target specific areas. Light oil or lotion is often used to reduce friction and hydrate your skin. If you feel any discomfort, let your therapist know so they can adjust. Also, inform them of any allergies before starting. Communication is key for a great experience.

After a massage, most people feel very relaxed and may experience less tension or relief from long-term aches and pains. You might also feel energized, with greater awareness and less stress, which can last for days. Stay hydrated and give your body time to adjust after the session.

If you feel like you need a massage, you're probably overdue. Incorporating massage into your self-care routine is beneficial. If you're recovering from an injury or surgery, frequent massages may be necessary. Some people get massages monthly, while others prefer weekly sessions. There's no one-size-fits-all answer, so listen to your body and schedule a massage before you feel it's absolutely necessary. Your body will thank you.

Inform your therapist of any changes in your health, such as new injuries or health issues, and any new medications you're taking. If you're under a doctor's care, get a written recommendation for massage. Depending on your condition, you may need approval. Also, let your therapist know about any allergies before the session begins.
