@johnkalebbarnes , generally if, and only if, prescribed by a  licensed doctor.   TurboTax will not ask for  proof but you should have it in case of a challenge  by the IRS.

Massage is not listed as a "qualifying medical expense" but also not as a "non-qualifying medical expense".

If the service was received as a medical treatment, the expense could be included. 

This would require some sort of doctor recommendation to be kept with your tax file. 

 

Or as suggested above, a doctor's prescription. 

 

IRS Pub 502
