Services & Rates
The typical service progression for Medical Restorative Massage Therapy® has three phases: The Prime Appointment Restorative Phase Maintenance Phase
The first phase of treatment is the Prime Appointment, and the emphasis of this initial phase is to assess the patient's current condition and concerns, including a full review of the intake forms. Based on this detailed assessment, the therapist develops a basic Plan of Care, and then completes the first treatment. The primary focus and goal of the Restorative Phase of treatment is significant reduction of pain, significant improvement of physical function, or both. The length of this phase of treatment varies from patient to patient, but a typical treatment schedule would be one appointment per week for four to eight weeks. The primary focus and goal of the Maintenance Phase is to retain all the progress achieved in the Restorative Phase, while pursuing continued progress with respect to both pain reduction and physical function issues. The ultimate goal is to help each patient regain, and then maintain, a healthy and active lifestyle. In all three phases, the therapist will educate and coach each patient regarding self-help techniques that directly contribute to the patient's long term well-being.

From Nicole P: Medical restorative massage therapy has been a lifesaver. I have had chronic back pain and back problems since I was 18 years old. I have been to several doctors and have undergone several types of treatments including medication, physical therapy and traditional massage. None of these treatments have been as successful as the care I have received at MT Wellness Clinic. After one session I was amazed at how much better I felt. One chronic pain in particular that I thought I would have to live with for the rest of my life is gone and has not returned. The staff at M. T. Wellness is not only skilled at treating your pain, but they also excel at teaching their patients how to maintain their wellness at home.
I returned to M. T. Wellness after I had gotten pregnant with my second child. The sciatic nerve pain that left me on the couch and unable to function well at home or at work during my first pregnancy was not a problem for me during my second pregnancy due to the treatments I received at M.T. Wellness. I also had a spinal headache and residual tension headaches after a badly placed epidural and strenuous labor during my delivery of baby #2. My docs prescribed pain medication and caffeine which left me unable to think or function normally, two important things when caring for two small children. The treatments I received at MT wellness helped me more than the traditional medical care in terms of return of function and ease of pain without having to medicate myself.
THANK YOU MT WELLNESS!
From Tom K:
MRMT has worked very well with my arthritis, much better than PT or simply medication.
From Roman E:
I want to thank you for your successful efforts to repair my severe shoulder problems. I arrived with severe pain and very limited movement in my shoulder. After seven sessions I am departing with full mobility and no pain in that same shoulder. Amazing results. Thank you.
From Donna B:
I have had many different diagnoses of spine and muscle problems. MRMT is able to decrease my pain, muscle spasms, and enable me to function more normally. MT Wellness therapists have a complete understanding of anatomy and physiology and they demonstrate that. MT Wellness keeps my physician informed regarding my progress. They are professional in their communication and never act as though they don't have time for me. MT Wellness has a good understanding of my muscle and spine problems and uses many different techniques to reduce muscle spasms and decrease pain. I have been coming here for two years and three months. I had been on disability since 2001 and had chronic pain that severely limited what I could do. Previously I had gone to 12 different massage therapists. I have been under the care of a neurosurgeon, a physical medicine and rehabilitation doctor, a chiropractor, and two pain management doctors since 1992 when I had cervical fusion. All of the previous massage therapists made me hurt more after the massage than before the massage. When I came to MT Wellness, the therapists used different techniques than I had experienced before. I had reduced pain, reduced muscle spasms, equal leg length, and felt balanced. I have been able to function better and live more normally. I will never go anywhere else for a massage. I now drive thirty minutes to get here. I suggest to my friends with musculo-skeletal problems that they come here. From June B: After six weeks I was astonished to see the difference in pain and function!
From Allison F:
Thuy and the other M. T. Wellness therapists have always listened to me and have worked on the areas I was having problems with... Everyone at MT Wellness has always done whatever they can to help me. I've always had a pleasant experience!
From Timothy M:
I recently had major surgery (back) and MRMT has been a critical part of my recovery, reducing pain and reducing the need for medicine. MT Wellness has reduced my pain, increased my mobility, and generally improved the quality of my life.
From Valerie G:
Not only individualized care but each session raises my awareness of my own physical restoration and how to take care of myself... Far more than alleviating immediate pain is my deep down physical well being improvement... I am better off today (and for tomorrow) than I was before struggling with rotator cuff, tennis elbow and carpal tunnel problems. Every session is a seminar!!
From Peggy B:
I am on a maintenance plan at 70 years of age. Would not be able to enjoy physical activates without this plan.
From Kate M:
I have been a long time client and have received the best of care since my first visit. I recommend M.T. Wellness every chance I get.
From Rex T: Through Thuy's thorough and diligent work, I have undergone dramatic improvement. I was not able to lift my arm up over my head. Now I can stretch my arm all the way out because the muscles in my shoulder are more flexible. It hasn't been easy for me, but Thuy is patient and consistent in her work. She has the knowledge and abilities to help me make continued progress in my recovery.
From Sharon A:
I'm pain free. I never thought I would be able to say that about myself. I was in a car wreck in 1958 at the age of 15 and since that time I was always in pain. I took anti-inflammatory medication, muscle relaxers, and one time a shot of morphine directly into my back, nothing cured it. Then one day Thuy (Bowyer) touched my back and I just let out a yell. She scheduled me an appointment and my release from pain started. Thuy is guiding me to working on my own wellness through massage, yoga, Qi Gong, and reflexology, and drinking enough water. Thank God for Thuy and her miracle hands.
From Donna F:
I'm writing to inform the OSU Managed Care System of my great experience with one of your providers, M. T. Wellness Clinic. I was referred for Myofascial Release/Soft Tissue therapy by my Primary Care Physician, Dr. xxx. I was in a great deal of pain and was unable to get an appointment quickly within the Managed Care System. I called M. T. Wellness on the afternoon on March 31st and had my first appointment with them the following Tuesday, April 4th. My therapist was Angel Lei. After the completion of 5 visits, I have experienced a marked improvement and am back on the way to pursuing a healthy, active lifestyle. Prior to my visit, walking was very painful, and now I'm able to walk 20-25 minutes and plan on trying to complete the "Race for the Cure" for the first time this year. Not only did Angel relieve much of my pain, she gave me many practical tips on how to help myself stay healthy and pain free. She never kept me waiting for my appointment and was very compassionate and encouraging. I think they are one of Columbus' hidden treasures and I just wanted to pass on my satisfaction with the kind of treatment and results they provided to me. Of course, I'm also thankful that the OSU Managed Care System has started providing these alternate treatments under our insurance system.
From Andrea E: It's amazing how much it has helped! I used to do chiropractor care, but now I am a firm believer in Medical Restorative Massage Therapy.
From Kin F:
I am now more knowledgeable of how restorative therapy, and how every part of body, can affect each other... Without use of medicine, I am much better today.
From Karen F:
I am doing more and I'm able to stand longer without pain... Thuy is fantastic, very knowledgeable and thorough as well as personable.
From Anne W:
Just a note to say Thank You!
What a miraculous difference you have made with your good judgment and fine hands.
From Dave P:
Excellent care plan and follow through therapy.
From Shanon S:
Love that I'm taught how to correct my pain.
From Jim R: Let me take this opportunity to thank you again for your help with my health. I greatly appreciate you expertise and approach.
