Questions we hear about Massage Therapy
Contraindications?
Clots, fever, some skin/cardiac conditions — we screen.
Trauma?
Only with consent and not as a substitute for trauma therapy.
Cortisol claims?
We do not sell cortisol miracles.
Meds that bruise?
Tell us.
Does massage treat depression?
No. It may ease tension. Depression still needs medical/psychological care.
Can it help anxiety?
Some people get short-term somatic relief. GAD still needs a diagnosis.
Can seasonal residents establish psychiatric care with you?
Yes. We offer initial evaluations for seasonal visitors and can continue care via telehealth when patients return to their home state, subject to licensing requirements.
Do you treat depression related to isolation?
Absolutely. Isolation-related depression is common in coastal communities, especially among retirees and seasonal residents. Our evaluations identify contributing factors including hormonal changes and social disconnection.
