Pembroke Pines FAQs for Massage Therapy
Do therapists diagnose ADHD?
No.
Trauma?
Only with consent and not as a substitute for trauma therapy.
Can it help anxiety?
Some people get short-term somatic relief. GAD still needs a diagnosis.
Is this a spa?
No. Adjunctive clinical setting.
Does massage treat depression?
No. It may ease tension. Depression still needs medical/psychological care.
Red-flag headache?
ER, not massage.
