Medical Escort Services provide assistance to patients who need to get to a hospital or a clinic. Medical escorts are generally licensed nurses and paramedics. Whether you are on land or on a plane, medical escorts can assist you with your medical needs. Medical escorts on land typically accompany elderly patients to their hospital appointments, and help in navigating the hospital and picking up prescriptions. Airline medical escorts usually provide medical evaluation, monitoring, wound dressing, drug administration and emergency measures to medically stable patients aboard commercial planes. They can also provide non-medical assistance for you, including travel arrangements.

Massage therapy is a kind of manual therapy that creates physiological effects in your body, usually to help in relaxation. There are different kinds of massage therapy, the two more popular kinds being therapeutic and medical massage. Therapeutic massage is your typical spa massage, which helps to reduce stress. Medical massage, on the other hand, is scientifically based, and takes into account the pathophysiology of your condition when applying the massage. Medical massage therapists claim that their massage results in specific clinical effects targeted to your condition, including decrease in inflammation and chronic pain.

Lymphedema massage is a kind of medical massage. Lymphedema is a collection of lymph in any part of the body, usually due to blocked lymph nodes or vessel, commonly occurring in the arms or legs. As the lymphatic system is important in immunity, lymphedema can lead to decreased body defenses and increased risk of infection. Lymphatic drainage massage aims to stimulate your lymphatic channels, to prevent this accumulation from occurring. This form of massage typically accompanies a specific exercise program and compression bandaging.

Interactive health massage chairs also provide massage therapy. A remote connected to the chair allows you to control the settings to achieve the most effective massage for you. Older massage chairs only provided vibration; newer ones can actually simulate kneading, tapping, rolling, and foot massage.
