Massage may be used by appropriately licensed clinicians as one component of rehabilitation for selected musculoskeletal symptoms. It should fit within an individualized treatment plan rather than replace medical evaluation or active rehabilitation.
Florida’s Medical Home for Injury Care.
Massage involves hands-on manipulation of soft tissues. In an injury-care setting, the goals and techniques should be selected according to the patient’s symptoms, tolerance, diagnosis, and broader rehabilitation plan.
Evidence and appropriate use vary by condition. When massage is included, Florida Injury Centers can coordinate it with physician evaluation, active rehabilitation, follow-up, and other care when clinically appropriate.
Florida Injury Centers evaluates the accident, symptoms, function, relevant history, medications, and clinical findings, then helps coordinate appropriate next steps. The plan may include rehabilitation, imaging or specialty consultation when clinically appropriate, with structured medical follow-up.
