Massage For Health has two locations: In our Acton location we are happy to be part of the clinical team of Dr. Joe Fitzpatrick at Acton Chiropractic and Rehabilitation. Massage For Health retains its own separate practice within the chiropractic office space...but many of my clients and Dr. Joe's patient's enjoy much quicker and more effective results by combining both the structural chiropractic work with our soft-tissue treatments. Therapist Cindy Rush practices out of the Acton location on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, and she also practices out of her home office in Ayer on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Cindy can also be often flexible with emergency sessions at her Ayer home office location...so if you are willing to be seen in Ayer, be sure to call for possible availability.

Through our online scheduler you can book your own appointment at any time. In general, the Tuesday/Thursday hours in Ayer tend to be in the late afternoon and evening. Cindy Rush's hours in Acton are as follows: Mondays: Afternoon and early evening; Wednesdays: Throughout the day 10am through 6pm; Fridays: Morning and early afternoon. Please "Click Here" to book your own appointment online.

The rates for sessions vary according to the location where you are being seen and the client. (i.e. patients of Dr. Joe's receive a professional courtesy discount if seen within his offices at our Acton location, where non-patients do not) You may "Click Here" to open our rate and fee schedule for a full description of session rates. Also, please DO ask about our senior and student discount rates.

You may have noticed by reading the information on the site that we offer quite a few different modalities or bodywork techniques. However, unlike many spas or resorts that have menus of services and charge extra for these specialties, at Massage For Health all modalities are available to all clients where it is appropriate to use them. The rates and fees in the next session are listed by time of session, not by modality. After you fill out your intake form mentioned above, your therapist will discuss with you the most beneficial and appropriate types of techniques and modalities to be used during your session. Please, by all means, expresses you preferences for a specific treatment modality and as long as it is safe, we will be happy to accommodate. However, it is always at the therapist's discretion to omit any technique or modality if it is contraindicated for your condition.

Well, first of all, a discount! All Massage For Health clients receive a $10.00 off discount on their first 1 hour session. In addition, you will be asked to fill out a client intake form. You can download and print the form by "Clicking Here" or you may fill out the intake form when you arrive for your first session.

This intake form will help us determine how to approach your session. It is our intention to customize each session to best suit your needs on that day. We hope you will feel comfortable expressing any preferences you may have to optimize the benefits of your session before, during, and afterwards...we welcome all feedback.

Special considerations will be made for specific techniques or positioning, if needed, for your session. Discretion and privacy are always the standard protocol while you change to get on and off the massage table, and with proper draping during the session. (Note: The modalities we use in our practice involve direct skin contact so changing is necessary. Underclothes can be left on, especially during the first session if that would make you feel comfortable, but rest assured that your body will be properly covered and draped at all times)

Be sure to talk to your therapist about any and all health considerations that you are aware of so that you and your therapist can decide the best course of your treatment...but most of all relax and enjoy!
