"Medical massage" (and often, even fancy spa massage) fees range into $200-$360 per hour. As such, it is not affordable to many who truly need help with injury or chronic painful structural issues. I believe that this form of soft tissue therapy is not a luxury. It is a focused treatment to help you better understand regain control of- and trust in- your body again. The difference that Orthopedic Manual Therapy offers is quick, targeted, results and these can be lasting with your effort to maintain the treatment. You will find significant relief and gain in only 1 to (at most!) 6 sessions if you actively and faithfully participate in strengthening and stretching, shift some basic and simple practices within your power that led to your current situation (ie. ergonomic changes to your working area) and do not simply jump back in to injurious activity or lapse back into the positional habits that are causing your pain and discomfort.

Please note that beyond your time on the table, all sessions are calendar-booked for an additional 30 minutes for necessary discussion/review/stretches and strengthening. Thus, if you book a 90 minute massage, don't plan to be in-and-out of the door in 90 minutes! Plan your time accordingly to also allow for the necessary:
- initial progress review and any changes in health
- any need to repeat physical assessments
- appropriate time to change out of/into clothing to get on/off the table
- pre-treatment application of infra red or moist heat/cold therapy to prepare tissue for manual therapy
- post-treatment explanation and discussion of findings
- demonstration and practice of any recommended stretches and strengthening exercises
- payment and future scheduling
- be aware that additional time is required after your visit for your therapist to record NYS-mandated notes on your treatment session and perform sanitization protocols in the practice space necessary for hygenic protection of all
