Hands-On Healing: The Benefits of Medical Massage Treatments
Within the first couple of weeks working at Seven Senses Spa, I was rear ended on the freeway driving to my morning class at UH Manoa. I had chronic neck and back pain, along with feelings of stress and anxiety. I found over the next couple of days, the effects were worsening and making it difficult to do simple day to day tasks such as focusing, sitting in a chair for long periods of time, and laying down in my bed.
Later, I was struggling at work and it No Fault was brought to my attention. With the help of others, I was encouraged to go see a doctor and was eventually prescribed physical therapy and massage therapy for my cervical, thoracic, and lunar spine pain.
After my first few sessions with both physical therapy and massage therapy paired, I saw a great difference to how I was feeling everyday. It has now been a few months since my accident and my injuries have decreased immensely. By staying focused on my healing process I was able to avoid long term injuries, and the massages I have received from Seven Senses Spa have aided that journey tremendously.

No fault insurance can cover the cost of massage therapy if it is medically necessary and prescribed by a healthcare professional as part of the treatment for injuries sustained in a car accident. The coverage and specifics of what is covered under no fault insurance can vary depending on the policy and state laws.
In some states, massage therapy may be covered as part of the personal injury protection (PIP) coverage, which is a type of no fault insurance. In these cases, the policyholder can receive reimbursement for the cost of the massage therapy, up to the limit of their PIP coverage.
In order for massage therapy to be covered under no fault insurance, the individual must have been injured in a car accident and the massage therapy must be part of the recommended treatment plan by a doctor or other healthcare professional. It is also important to check with the individual's insurance provider to see if massage therapy is covered under their specific policy.
In some cases, there may be limitations on the number of massage therapy sessions that are covered, and there may be restrictions on the types of massage therapy that are covered. It is important to thoroughly understand the coverage and restrictions under the individual's no fault insurance policy before seeking treatment.
Medical massages for post car accidents can have many benefits. Some of these benefits include:
Pain relief: Massages can help to relieve pain and discomfort in muscles and joints that have been affected by an automobile accident.
Increased mobility: Massages can help to improve range of motion and flexibility, which can be especially important for individuals who have suffered injuries in a car accident.
Reduced stress and anxiety: Massages can have a calming effect and can help to reduce stress and anxiety, which are common symptoms following a traumatic event like a car accident.
Improved sleep: Massages can help to promote better sleep, which can be beneficial for individuals who are struggling to sleep due to pain or anxiety.
Speeds up healing: Massages can help to increase blood flow and circulation, which can aid in the healing process.]
*Please Note: It is important to note that massage therapy should not be used as a substitute for medical treatment, and individuals who have been in a car accident should always seek the advice of a doctor or other healthcare professional.
