Massage as a Health Care Service

The State of Texas recognizes massage as a health care service if the massage therapy is for therapeutic purposes. However, where all massage and bodywork modalities offer a great number of health benefits, they are not intended to diagnose or treat any disease or illness unless prescribed by a physician. Furthermore, we make no claims of healing. Individual results will vary. God is the great physician and our hands are but the tools He may chose to use.
