What to bring with you to your first Medical Massage appointment:

Your first appointment will consist of information gathering, such as reviewing your doctor's prescription and diagnoses, having you complete paperwork regarding your medical history and accident; I will ask you questions about your accident and injuries, and make sure you have completed and signed all the appropriate paperwork so that I can bill your insurance. I will then provide testing to complete my evaluation:
1. Balance check. I may have you stand in front of a grid and put each foot on a weight scale (that you can't see) to check for any visual and/or weight imbalances.
2. Range of motion testing. I will ask you to move your neck, shoulders, arms, back and legs to see if your injuries have caused any impairments to your range of motion.
3. Gait observations. I will observe how you carry your body when you walk.
4. Muscle testing. I may test the strength of certain muscles, and provide orthopedic tests to rule out certain contraindications and precautions to treatment. If you test positive to certain procedures, I will referred back to your physician for further testing and diagnosis prior to Massage treatments.
We will then plan your treatment options and schedule your prescribed appointments. I will also discuss with you what to expect in the normal course of casualty claims process, as well as Oregon laws regulating casualty insurance and Medical Massage.
