Meet the Founder: A Combat Medic's Commitment


Dominic Magrino, LMT, BCTMB®

"I spent my military career keeping soldiers moving and healing on the battlefield.

Today, my mission is exactly the same."

Our founder, Dominic Magrino, understands the unique physical and psychological tolls of military service because he lived them. Dominic served as a Combat Medic with the 3rd Battalion, 509th Parachute Infantry Regiment (Geronimo) stationed at Fort Richardson, Alaska.


During his service, he deployed to Afghanistan, where he treated trauma on the front lines and earned his Combat Medic Badge (CMB).


Dominic’s passion for massage therapy began before his time in uniform, but it was a skill that he used all throughout his service. Recognizing the extreme physical demands placed on his fellow paratroopers, he regularly provided massage therapy to his soldiers—both in garrison and while deployed to austere environments in Afghanistan.


Now as a Board-Certified Massage Therapist in Virginia, Dominic brings that same disciplined, mission-focused medical care to the Fredericksburg community. He is profoundly proud to continue serving his brothers and sisters in arms by providing an elite level of therapeutic care.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Do I have to pay a copay for my massage treatments?

No. If you have an active, approved referral through the VA Community Care Network (CCN), your treatments are covered 100%. We handle all billing directly with the VA.

How many massage sessions will the VA authorize?

It varies. The number of approved sessions depends entirely on your VA doctor's clinical recommendation and your specific treatment plan. Referrals typically authorize a set number of visits over a 60 to 90-day window, which can be renewed if medically necessary.

Can I use my HSA/FSA card if my VA referral hasn't cleared yet?

Yes. For services not covered by an active VA referral, we accept Health Savings Account (HSA) and Flexible Spending Account (FSA) cards. We can also provide detailed receipts for your records.
