General FAQ
Do you accept insurance?
No, AMT does not bill health insurance. Medial massage and osteopathic manual therapy are usually billed under manual therapy codes, and it may be possible for you to receive reimbursement from your insurance provider if you have met your in-network and out-of-network deductibles. We have a form to walk you through calling your insurance provider on our Policies & Forms page. It is your responsibility to find out your eligibility and and file for reimbursement.
We accept all major credit cards, FSA, and HSA cards. Payment in full is required at time of scheduling for all clients, and it is non-refundable. For a full list of our policies, please visit our Policies & Forms Page.
Where are you located?
Advanced Massage Therapies is located at 306 Bankhead Hwy. at the intersection with Cedar St. diagonally across from the Little Hawaiian restaurant. We have a copper colored roof which helps many people identify us.

Does therapy hurt?
No. Many people think that therapeutic work is painful. Actually, if it is painful, it is not nearly as effective as working with the body so that the nervous system does not guard or brace against the pressure. The therapist is trained in many gentle yet highly effective modalities to help you get great results without pain. Using maximum precision and minimal force is the best way to achieve the fastest results.
How long does a session take?
AMT is different. Sessions are results oriented, and not time based. This is very similar to going for a haircut and color. You go for a result, not necessarily a time. So you can plan, most therapy sessions are up to 90 minutes in total. Some sessions may be longer or shorter as needed to relieve your pain or acheive your results.
What should I wear?
Most people just come in their clothes from work. Ideally, a t-shirt and shorts or stretchy pants are best for orthopedic work. Often assessment and resetting of neurological firing to tight muscles are performed before a client undresses.
Some therapies such as Neural Reset Therapy, Brain Therapy, and Visceral Manipulation, do not require a client to undress at all. Other therapies such as Medicupping and Lymphatic Drainage do require direct contact with skin.
We ask that all clients be clean and free of strong odors, including perfume or smoke, out of respect for the therapist and other clients.
