Weston FAQs for Massage Therapy
Trauma?
Only with consent and not as a substitute for trauma therapy.
Does massage treat depression?
No. It may ease tension. Depression still needs medical/psychological care.
Panic on the table?
We stop. If medical emergency, ER.
Do therapists diagnose ADHD?
No.
Meds that bruise?
Tell us.
Red-flag headache?
ER, not massage.
Do you offer discreet telehealth for Weston patients?
Yes. Many Weston patients prefer our secure HIPAA-compliant telehealth option for appointments from the privacy of their home or office.
Can you help with executive performance and focus issues?
Absolutely. We specialize in ADHD evaluations, cognitive performance optimization, and medication management for adults who need to perform at a high level.
Indications and differentials
Pregnancy: only with appropriate prenatal massage training and clearance.
Optional, never required for psych care.
Not indicated as primary treatment of MDD, bipolar, psychosis, or OCD.
Neck pain without red flags.
Next step
Start with one thorough Massage Therapy evaluation rather than a series of 15-minute check-ins. Book at (888) 307-2199 or online.
After Massage Therapy is scheduled, complete intake forms once. Repeating the same history at every visit is what we are trying to avoid.

Florida telehealth psychiatry is available to established and new patients located in Florida at the time of the visit, subject to licensure and clinical appropriateness. An in-person evaluation at the Hollywood office may be recommended when a physical exam, vital signs, or a more complete diagnostic interview is needed.
