3 - Corrective Treatment Sessions

  • We will work with clinical grade medical massage techniques and "M.E.T." (Muscle Energy Techniques) as primary tools to correcting your root problems accompanied by Swedish techniques, myfoascial release, lymphatic drainage, contrast and sound therapy, and more.  

​

  • Your therapist will provide you tips and tricks that you can do in your day to day to "stack wellness" and reinforce corrections, allowing you to have the tools needed to find relief independently should you have any regressions.

​

  • During each session your therapist can educate you on what is happening in your body and what we are doing to correct it.  Our promise is to empower our patients with knowledge so that they can become the best versions of themselves and live their best lives. 

4 - Revisit the plan

  • Before or after each session pre and post photos may be taken to help you visually observe the tangible changes that are happening in your body. 

  • After three treatments we will review your progress and make any necessary changes or adjustments to your treatment plan. 

  • We look at what's next - whether that be another ailment or ongoing wellness concerns, we have the information and strategies required to take you to the next level.

FAQs

1 - What is the difference between a massage and a medical massage?
Massage therapy and medical massage/alternative health both promote relaxation and wellness but they serve distinct purposes.

Medical massage is a targeted, outcome-based therapy prescribed by a healthcare provider to address specific medical conditions.  It involves specialized techniques, such as neuromuscular or myofascial release, to treat issues like chronic pain, injury recovery, or post-surgical rehabilitation. 

Our licensed therapists in Gahanna, Ohio work closely with physicians to create personalized treatment plans, ensuring effective relief for medical concerns.  Whether it's relaxation or therapeutic care, our therapists at Paolino Medical Massage Columbus, OH cater to your unique needs.
2 - Does Paolino Medical Massage accept insurance? 
Paolino Medical Massage only accepts insurance from the VA. 

Massage therapy is a billable treatment to most insurances with a written referral from a doctor with an ICD-10 diagnostic code.

We accept FSA and HSA cards for eligible massage therapy services, making payment convenient.  Contact your insurance provider to confirm coverage details, and our team will assist with proper documentation including CPT codes to streamline the reimbursement process. For clients without insurance coverage we offer competitive self-pay rates and flexible payment options.
