A NO BRAINER

USING YOUR HSA / FSA

 Health and Flexible savings accounts are non taxable income you set a side for your healthcare needs. Something a lot of people dont't understand this can mean self care, yes self care. We all need some relaxtion, especially during different times in our lives. We look at massage as a luxury not a necessity. Our bodies endure so much, our families, our jobs and even our stress. This has our bodies bound up, full of knots and spasms that cause pain, even leaving us unable to prioritize our daily lives. Self care is a must! It is crucial that we stop taking our bodies for granted they need to last us, well our whole lives. Massage is more than a relaxing service in a nice quiet beautiful room. It is a way to reduce the stress hormones in our body. It is a way to improve circulation keeping your brain sharp and your heart healthy. It is a way to help your body recover after injury and increase joint mobility and flexibility. After surgery your body goes through stages of healing. A lymphatic drainage massage can help you heal faster by removing toxins from your body. All of these benifits and then there is the aspect of keeping more of your money. This money is taken before your taxes meaning you keep more of your own money.

This is why this is a no brainer! You're keeping more of your money while helping your body stay happy and healthy.

Tip #1 - KEEP YOUR MONEY

Create a budget and enjoy knowing you have that money set aside. HSA's and FSA's can sometimes be used for over the counter medications, massage therapy, holistic medical care and in some cases even your yoga class. Check with your account holders and see how your account is set up and USE IT!

Tip #2 - GET A DOCTOR'S NOTE

In some cases a doctor's note is required. This is a simple and easy requirement. Go to your doctor and simply let them know your body needs some attention.

Tip #3 - DON'T FORGET YOUR CARD

Your HSA of FSA has a special debit card to access the account. Make sure you have it the day of your service or while you are at the grocery store picking up your Ibuprophen.

KEEP YOUR MONEY!

It is important to keep more of your money for services you already want or need for your self care. Not to metion, it keeps more of your money out of the governments wallet!
