In-Reach Program | OV College of Massage Therapy

More Than One Massage

A Plan, Not Just an Appointment

In-Reach is designed for people who may benefit from receiving massage therapy over a series of appointments rather than as a one-time treatment.

Over approximately 4–12 weeks, you'll see the same student therapist for your appointments. Your student therapist will assess your needs, provide treatment and develop home-care recommendations as part of your ongoing plan.

Each appointment is approximately 75 minutes, including assessment, treatment and home-care. Massage treatment time is approximately 50 minutes.

Your student therapist gets to know you, your condition and your goals.

Treatment Plan

You and your student therapist develop a plan for your series of appointments.

Ongoing Care

You'll see the same student therapist throughout your In-Reach series and work toward your treatment goals together.
