We can usually help you progress on the road to recovery after nagging injuries and pain with therapy at our Licensed Massage Therapy Clinic in St. Petersburg Florida. We have extensive specialized training and experience  in manual therapy, myofascial release, massage therapy, stretching, exercise, anatomy, cross fiber friction, neuromuscular therapy, trigger point therapy, ultrasound, Soft Tissue Release, hot and cold therapy, and connective tissue therapy.

We must work closely with your Physician because physicians are solely entrusted by our society to diagnose, and treat disease, pain and dysfunction.  Physicians trust us to carry out their orders to help those with whiplash, headaches, pain and other problems that our therapy may benefit. 

Our Medically prescribed charges are not the same as our regular massage therapy charges.  We always require a prescription for medically necessary treatment;( prescription should indicate manual therapy or medical massage therapy and or ultrasound therapy)  must include a medical diagnosis, number of times per week to treat, and the length of time in weeks to treat.  We can only treat as long as your Physician believes that our treatments are of benefit to you.  

WE BILL SELECTIVE INSURANCE COMPANIES for our patients. Some we will not.  We feel  that insurance companies should be willing to live up to their contractual  responsibilities and pay their bills in a timely manner. Sadly, this is not always the case. Please call us to discuss your case. 

The Florida Legislature has determined the maximum amounts that we can bill for PIP which is 200 percent of 2007 Federal Medicare allowable reimbursement. ($53.00 for manual therapy for  each 15 minutes.) The insurance companies are allowed to discount this amount by 20 percent which the patient is responsible for unless they have purchased Medical Payments Insurance. 

We have had outstanding results being paid in a timely manner when billing Geico and Liberty Mutual. We hope these companies will continue to operate with integrity. 

Many times early treatment can make the difference between a speedy recover and lingering soft tissue injuries.  Call us and we will be happy to discuss your situation.
