I agree. Massage is always great but there is the cost factor.
I forgot to mention that I have a fabulous chiropractor and she has been very helpful. She is (mostly) covered by insurance.

There are "medical massages" that are ordered by a doctor and covered by insurance. I thought a "deep tissue massage" was a medical massage but apparently it isn't.

According to artificial intelligence:
"Deep tissue massage is a therapeutic technique that uses slow, firm pressure to reach deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue, often used to treat chronic pain, injuries, and muscle tension. While sometimes used interchangeably, it differs from "medical massage," which is a targeted, results-oriented treatment often prescribed by a physician to address a specific medical condition."

All I know was that deep tissue massage helped me recover after post-prednisone PMR.
