Our Services

An HCT massage therapist working with a client at home

Health Care Therapies provides a suite of therapies meant to support every part of a person's well-being and quality of life, whatever their physical or cognitive abilities. Our licensed therapists come to the client's home (or, for recreational therapy, into the community) on a regular schedule. Treatment plans may include one, two or all three therapies.

Massage Therapy

Our massage therapists specialize in rehabilitative massage, also known as deep tissue, medical, therapeutic or clinical massage. Each client is assessed individually, and we check needs and contraindications with the family and medical team before treatment begins.

Benefits: pain relief, muscle relaxation, improved movement and range of motion, better circulation, improved sleep and digestion, reduced stress and anxiety, and decreased aversion to touch.

Our therapists: Texas Licensed Massage Therapists, insured and CPR certified. Sessions typically run 1 to 1.5 hours, on a table we bring, a mat, a bed or a wheelchair.

Music Therapy

Music therapy uses singing, playing instruments, moving to and listening to music to address physical, emotional, cognitive and social needs. It can give people who struggle to express themselves a way to communicate, and offers emotional support for clients and their families.

Benefits: communication, socialization, emotional support, self-expression, memory and movement. Our therapists: board certified (MT-BC), in individual or small-group sessions.

Recreational Therapy

Recreational therapy uses activities built around each client's interests, such as arts and crafts, music, dance, sports and outings, to build physical, social and cognitive skills, confidence and independence in everyday community life.

Benefits: independence, a stronger sense of self, mobility, socialization and community involvement. Our therapists: nationally certified (CTRS), or TRS/TXC or TRA/TXC. Sessions take place at home or in the community.

Private Treatment Plans

Want a regular, highly trained massage, music or recreational therapist at home, without going through the CLASS waiver? We build private-pay treatment plans, for example weekly sessions, around your goals and budget, for children and adults with disabilities or anyone who wants consistent, skilled care. We don't offer one-time visits.

What to Expect: Our Treatment Model

Step One: Evaluation. An in-person visit, at a time convenient to your family, to learn the client's needs and goals, including informed consent before anything begins.

Step Two: Collaboration. We work with parents, caregivers, nurses, physicians and other therapists. Our therapists are experts in their fields, not doctors: we never guess or diagnose.

Step Three: Treatment Plan. A regular schedule and a flexible plan with clear goals, built around needs and budget.

Step Four: Ongoing Improvement. We measure and celebrate progress, then adjust, helping clients reach and often surpass what they thought was possible.

For clients 16 and under, a parent, guardian or caregiver is present during sessions, as Texas rules require.
