If your VA medical care team recommends massages for your condition, our therapists can help.
Massage therapy is a treatment that can do wonders for the body. Veterans often struggle with various physical challenges, many of which relate back to their service and the physical requirements associated with it. Medical massage therapy involves manipulating the soft tissues of the body for therapeutic purposes, and it is one of the approaches taken within the VHA Whole Health System of Care. Under VA Directive 1137 (Provision of Complementary and Integrative Health), a medical care team can deem this treatment clinically necessary.
If your VA medical care team recommends this option for your condition, our therapists at Skin Deep Clinical Skin Care & Day Spa can provide VA massage services. Our treatments can target specific physical ailments while also encouraging relaxation and supporting your well-being. Before we begin a VA massage, we will take the time to answer any questions you might have, as well as better understand what you are struggling with and how we can focus our efforts. The main types of massage we provide to our clients include deep tissue and hot stone. Expecting mothers may also book a prenatal massage, which is designed to relieve discomforts associated with pregnancy and the adjustments made to accommodate a growing body. We can help determine which approach to take when performing a VA massage based on your unique needs.
When deemed medically appropriate, a VA massage can make a big difference in how you feel. Contact us to learn more or schedule an appointment with one of our massage therapists in Harker Heights, Texas.
