Remedial massage is not the same as a massage performed for relaxation; remedial massage is a type of physiotherapy and a treatment for specific ailments. It can help if you have muscle tension or chronic joint pain. By manipulating and applying pressure to specific muscles and parts of the body, remedial massage can treat carpal tunnel syndrome, back injuries and even headaches.
If you have remedial massage in your extras cover, private health insurers will pay a percentage of your remedial massage costs. This is often paid as a discount per session. Additional costs, such as the cost of purchasing medication, may not be included in your cover. Remedial massage cover limits are sometimes combined with the maximum benefit for other complementary therapies such as acupuncture.
Your insurer will only pay a benefit if you use the services of a recognised practitioner. Practitioners are recognised by insurers if they've completed a diploma in remedial massage. You can find remedial massage limits as part of extras. Sometimes you get a combined annual limit that includes other natural therapies or treatments.
The following table shows extras cover from Finder partners who offer remedial massage - they all have a 2 month wait period. Each month we analyse over 10, extras insurance products and rate each one on price and features.
What we end up with is a nice round number out of 10 that helps you compare extras cover a bit faster. We want to compare apples to apples, not apples to apple pie. It doesn't make sense to compare a top extras policy with coverage for hearing aids and braces against a policy designed only for dental. So we've separated all the extras policies on the market into pools and categories. Once in their pools and categories, each product gets a price score and a features score, which are then combined to give the Final Score.
