Hey guys, I have been getting a massage about once a month to help with my aches and pains. They really seem to help but are somewhat costly. I was curious if anyone else here got frequent massages and if so, has anyone checked into whether or not insurance would pay for them.

I'm probably dreaming but it would be awesome if somehow we could get insurance to pay for a regular massage. Especially if it helps with the aches and pains associated with Crohn's.

I get them for physical therapy (orthro reconstruction) issues, but recently they have become more painful then they are worth.

I get a massage almost everyday. But..... :) :) I am a spoiled girl who has a wonderful husband that massages some part of my body everyday.

You are so right, they REALLY help alot. You would have to ask your insurance if this would be something that would be covered. Generally if ordered thru pt as Navy said, it is covered. Good luck!

I have Blue Cross Blue Shield and with one place I get a 20% discount and the other place I go I get a 10% which both help when you pay about $80 for an hour massage plus tip. Should call your insurance it won't hurt or ask the place you go they could look it up. I found out on my insurance web sites for awhile I wasn't getting the discount.

Thanks so much guys!! RedSox I also have Blue Cross so that makes me hopeful-now I just need to check with both them and the place where I get my massage.

i'm lucky enough to have a giving boyfriend that enjoys giving me back rubs, so i've never gone to a professional..although i've considered it, just to experience it :) i feel that insurances should help us out with this, since it helps with aches and pains, along with relaxing us!! i can tell that stress affects my Crohn's, an hour long massage would definitely help me out sometimes!
