Do you tip a massage therapist when you are going for medical reasons? If so, how much?

I have been going to a chiropractor and massage therapist for medical reasons. My insurance covers the treatment. Should I tip the massage therapist? Thanks!Do you tip a massage therapist when you are going for medical reasons? If so, how much?
If you feel like the person deserves the extra payment, then yes. However, I would not feel obligated to do that. Some settings will not even allow it, especially if insurance is paying for part or all of it.Do you tip a massage therapist when you are going for medical reasons? If so, how much?
you should always tip someone at your service. 15% of the cost is ok but if they do a really thorough job 20% wouldn't hurt. It would be appreciated and your visits might get better:


unless of course you don't have the extra cash........don't stress yourself out.
If your insurance pays then giving a tip should not hurt your pocket too much, on the other hand if treatment has not been satisfactory then no, dont, you dont have to explain yourself either, its also up to your own conscience. Myself i only tip taxi cab drivers but only if the ride home has been good and safe.
Is the massage therapist working out of a doctor's office or at a spa?





If it's a spa, I would do the customary tip of 15-20%. If she's working out of the doctor's office, I wouldn't....just as I wouldn't tip the nurse, etc.





Happy Healing!
