The mystery of Medicare has been solved!!!. Medicare does cover Massage Therapy but not when preformed by a Massage Therapist.

Your Medicare part B plan will cover Massage Therapy, up to 10 visits per year in 2017. Here’s the catch, the service is only covered if preformed for rehabilitation with your Physical Therapist, Chiropractor, Acupuncturist, Medical Doctor, or Naturopath only. This means your Physical Therapist, Chiropractor, Acupuncturist, Medical Doctor, or Naturopath physically preform the treatment, in some cases a Medical Doctor must be in attendance during the treatment, if the treatment is preformed by someone other than the physician.
Your Medicare supplemental for part A plans may cover, if your supplemental acts as a primary for rehabilitative services. You will need to double check with your insurance on the rules for coverage of Massage Therapy preformed by a Massage Therapist.
This information has come directly from Medicare on 1/10/2017. Take the time to know your coverage. It can be complicated but is worth it.
