Clinical scope of Massage Therapy in Broward County
Near Davie Road is the actual office geography.
Massage therapy on this site is an adjunct to a medical home, not a standalone psychiatric treatment.
How Massage Therapy is structured
Document response.
Aftercare: hydration, dizziness precautions.
Intake: medical, pregnancy, clots, psychosis, trauma preferences.
Do not book through a party-spa package as if it were psychiatry.
In-office versus Florida telehealth
Wilton Manors sits in Broward County. County-level resources (crisis lines, hospital ERs, IOP programs) are discussed during Massage Therapy when a higher level of care is safer than outpatient titration.
South Florida heat, hurricane disruption, shift work, and multigenerational households show up in Wilton Manors presentations. Massage Therapy intake asks about those stressors explicitly.
Session in a private room.

Questions we hear about Massage Therapy
Does massage treat depression?
No. It may ease tension. Depression still needs medical/psychological care.
Red-flag headache?
ER, not massage.
Insurance?
Often not covered like a medical visit. Ask before booking.
Contraindications?
Clots, fever, some skin/cardiac conditions — we screen.
Pregnancy?
Tell us. Prenatal rules apply.
Parking?
On site at 7603 Davie Road Extension.
Do you provide LGBTQ+-affirming psychiatric care?
Yes. We provide competent, affirming psychiatric care for all patients. Our hormone therapy services and psychiatric evaluations are delivered with respect for every patient's identity.
Can you coordinate hormone therapy with psychiatric medication?
Absolutely. This is one of our specialties. We understand the interplay between hormone levels and mood, and manage both under one clinical roof for optimal outcomes.

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.
