Questions we hear about Massage Therapy
How often?
Individual. Packages are not a psychiatric protocol.
Pregnancy?
Tell us. Prenatal rules apply.
Panic on the table?
We stop. If medical emergency, ER.
Where?
Hollywood office area; 12 min from Hallandale Beach.
Does massage treat depression?
No. It may ease tension. Depression still needs medical/psychological care.
Is it required for HRT?
No.
How close is Hallandale Beach to your office?
Our Hollywood office is only about 10 minutes from Hallandale Beach via US-1 or I-95. We're very convenient for Hallandale residents.

Pregnancy screening.
Sleep hygiene plus body work, not body work instead of apnea referral.
Scheduled, not bait-and-switch packages as 'psychiatry.'
Follow-up that asks if psychiatric symptoms worsened.

Commute noise on I-95 and the Turnpike changes whether an in-office Massage Therapy visit is realistic this week. Telehealth is used when the clinical exam does not require the office.
