As healthcare providers from all fields and as massage professionals, the reputation of your practice and quality of care are the most essential factors for your patients.
There are industry specific considerations when offering Massage and other Corrective Soft Tissue Therapies. The following are some questions that Hand-On Management can help answer (select):
Have you wanted to add Massage Therapy or other Manual Therapies to your practice? Is it best to hire an employee, contract with a therapist or refer out?
Have you considered hiring or contracting a Licensed Massage Therapist but don’t know what qualifications and techniques are important?
Have you wanted to refer or prescribe Massage for your patients but didn’t know which local therapists offer medically-oriented massage? Do you know how to write the most effective prescription for treatment and insurance reimbursement?
Do you have the time to thoroughly interview prospective therapists? Do you want to rely on ‘trial and error’ or a nice personality? Do you need to establish or refine your evaluations for current therapists? Are you missing out on valuable "Mystery Patient" assessments?
What financial structure
will work best for your practice? Is it best to: rent out space, pay
on percentage or by the hour? What services and fees will you
establish?
Are you familiar with the most current indications and contraindications for massage and related therapies? Would you like to stay apprised of research, studies and journal material regarding Massage and Corrective Soft-Tissue Therapies?
Would you like to expand your familiarity with the local Complimentary and Alternative Health communities?
