Massage Therapy Services
Customized care. Clinical results.
At Richmond Sports Massage, we take an evidence and results-driven approach to massage therapy. Whether you’re an athlete pushing through an intense training cycle or someone managing chronic orthopedic pain, our services are tailored to help you move better and feel better long term.
We don’t offer cookie-cutter massages. Every session is personalized and tailored to your specific goals, body, and lifestyle. We also don’t nickel and dime our clients with add-ons. We pull out all the stops to help you achieve your objectives for every session.
Cupping & Massage Therapy
Silicone cupping is a powerful technique that uses suction to increase localized blood flow, reduce hypertonicity, and separate superficial myofascial adhesions. Our therapists integrate cupping with massage techniques; we don’t just leave the cups on you and call it day. This is ideal as a pre-event or inter-event service because you will generally not be sore after this type of session, but the large muscular groups are left refreshed and ready to perform.
Precision Hot Stone Massage
Heated, smooth stones are used initially to warm up the tissue and calm the nervous system. Your therapist will then home in on specific areas of soft tissue where you are feeling pain or discomfort, using the hot stones to alleviate active trigger points. This is still the targeted, detailed work we are known for, with the added benefit of deep relaxation.
Stretch Therapy
Feeling tight or restricted? Our stretch therapy sessions help improve flexibility, range of motion, and functional movement. Ideal for athletes, desk workers, and anyone seeking to move more effectively and prevent injury. Your session will elongate muscles while taking pressure off of your joints. Perfect for improving flexibility and relieving tension, especially in hips, hamstrings, and shoulders. This massage is done on the table.
Pregnancy Massage
If you are looking for a deep tissue or sports massage and are also pregnant, then this is the option for you. At Richmond Sports Massage, we don’t believe in treating pregnant women with kid gloves. You are not a delicate flower; you are strong and growing a whole human! Your therapist will discuss which areas you would like targeted and what pressure you prefer. Accommodations will be made for the pregnancy with several pillows, making the side-lying or recumbent position ultra comfortable.
Thai Massage
Your Thai massage therapist, Molly, will initially use herbal compresses to provide heat therapy, warming up the tissue in a gentle and pleasant way. Thai massage techniques involve compression, traction, and gentle stretches that increase range of motion, elongate muscles, and improve general mobility. If you are in need of a soothing, whole-body, grounding, and lengthening session, this session is for you. Please wear loose, comfortable clothing for Thai massage, as you will stay dressed for the session, and the massage will be performed on a comfy mat on the ground.
Precision Hot Stones
Heated, smooth stones are initially used to warm up the tissue and calm the nervous system. Your therapist will then hone in on specific areas of musculature where you are feeling pain or discomfort, using the hot stones to alleviate active trigger points. This is still the targeted, detailed work we are known for, with the added benefit of deep relaxation.
