Do you accept FSA or HSA for massage?

Yes. Next Man Up accepts both FSA (Flexible Spending Accounts) and HSA (Health Savings Accounts) for massage therapy. If your provider requires a Letter of Medical Necessity, we can help with the documentation after your visit so you can use your benefits before they expire.

David O

This was an incredible experience. All of the technicians were so warm and lovely to talk to. Each service was beyond my expectation. 10/10 would recommend and I will be coming back.

Janet Berry

Dr. Cooksey was very knowledgeable regarding the anatomy of the back and neck where my issues are. She did not just perform a procedure but she was very informative and made suggestions for me for my day to day life so that I can feel better. I really appreciate her different styles of massages that include clinical procedures as well. And all of this time, I thought she just catered to men. Check her out!
