A proven technique for reducing pain and improving QOL – now available in the home.
Massage therapy has been shown by multiple peer-reviewed, randomized controlled trials, to be an effective complementary therapy for the management of MSK pain/injury and stress. It has also demonstrated efficacy for other chronic conditions including but not limited to PTSD, depression, sleep disorders, digestive disorders, arthritis, plantar fasciitis, and fibromyalgia.
For relief of physical or psychological distress, Zeel in-home massage provides a safe, healthy, and convenient option for your patients—and is fully covered by VA as of March 2020. Clinical massage therapy is included in the VHA Whole Health System of care as an evidence-based, complementary and integrative health (CIH) approach. Treatments for MSK pain are covered by the patient’s benefits package if deemed clinically necessary by his or her care team.
Where is Zeel Available?
Zeel medical massage is available to Veterans through their VA Medical Centers (VAMC) across the United States—in most cases both in the home and in office-based facilities. We are actively working with VAMCs across the country to expand access to every Veteran in America. VAMC providers and administrators can find out more by contacting their TPA or inquiring with Zeel at 877-537-0329.
A Safer Alternative to Pharmaceuticals
Chronic pain—suffered by ~20% of U.S. adults—is one of the most common reasons adults seek medical care. Conventional pharmaceutical-based treatment poses risks including addiction, side effects, and negative drug interactions, leaving patients frustrated, depressed…and still in pain.
Medical massage therapy is a proven alternative to opioid and NSAID medications for many pain syndromes and chronic conditions. As a meaningful component of an integrative care strategy for patients, therapeutic medical massage can proffer wholesale improvements in wellbeing that pain medications alone cannot offer.
