General Information
Introduction
Manchester-Bedford Myoskeletal LLC provides services in the correction of musculoskeletal and neuromuscular compensation and dysfunction using modern soft tissue manipulation and manual therapy techniques. We use standard orthopedic testing, muscle pattern testing, and various functional movement assessments along with functional muscle retraining and strengthening for appropriate patients.

Contact
To speak with the clinic manager/Myoskeletal Therapist, please call (603) 622-1112.
Please Note
Patients are expected to be active participants in their recovery/rehabilitation. Patients who prefer standard western style relaxation massage are generally referred out unless it is called for as part of an ongoing maintenance programme for chronic conditions.
Of Interest
Services are provided to individuals who self-refer and by those seen by physician referral. As licensed massage therapists are unable to diagnose any medical condition, we ask referring physicians to provide a diagnosis ICD code and script (if number or frequency of visits is desired) in their referrals. Also, known contraindications, relevant notes, tests results, and radiology reports are requested. Manchester-Bedford Myoskeletal LLC physician referral form here.
Referrals and any further information may be sent to us
via HIPAA-compliant fax at (888) 965-6870
We will forward our assessment, evaluation, and treatment notes to referring provider upon request and release by patient.
Insurance
Manchester-Bedford Myoskeletal LLC is a credentialed in-network provider for the Veteran’s Administration, proudly serving our nations VA physician-referred vets.
New Hampshire private health insurance companies currently do not credential or contract with Licensed Massage Therapists. We therefore file claims as a non-network provider to most non-HMO insurances and the patient remains responsible for payment at time of service. In most cases, reimbursement from an insurance company will be sent directly to the patient, not to us.
NPI, CAQH, and Anthem Provider ID available to relevant organizations on request
Armed Forces Veteran Patients
The Veteran’s Administration has published several papers, articles, and studies on data pertaining to wounded and injured service men and women returning for a list of medical conditions. The largest population by far, according to the data, is musculoskeletal injury, or what the military calls “MSIs”. Over half of injured vets report these types of injuries. However, no government operated health insurance program currently covers massage therapy or structural integration in their policies.
Manchester-Bedford Myoskeletal LLC management feels that an array of musculoskeletal injuries can be helped and even resolved using the soft tissue techniques employed here. We urge you to read through the Veterans and Insurance pages of our website, and refer your active, retired, and other qualifying veterans to us for assessment, evaluation and/or treatment.
Management
Manchester-Bedford Myoskeletal LLC is owned and operated by Mr. Joel Kouyoumjian, a massage therapist licensed to practice in New Hampshire and New York, and holds a graduate degree of Master Myoskeletal Therapist from the Freedom From Pain Institute.
Mr. Kouyoumjian specializes in assessing and mobilization of intrinsic and extrinsic muscles, fascia, and joints of the musculoskeletal system and troubleshooting causes of muscular dysfunction using appropriate assessment guidelines, Myoskeletal Alignment Techniques, and orthopedic testing and massage.

- For diagnosis and/or diagnostic imaging
