Lela White has been practicing massage therapy for over 20 years. Her career began in the sports medicine sector working under the guidance of physical therapists to provide clinical soft tissue mobilization for patients. In 2009 she earned a degree in Exercise Science from VCU. She then went on to teach Kinesiology at the University of Richmond for several years before moving on to teach massage therapy at the Lotus Professional College.  Lela receives massage therapy on a regular basis as part of her maintenance routine for her scoliosis. She understands on a personal level how integral massage is to staying mobile and achieving a healthy lifestyle.  Due to her experience she is particularly adept at working with clients that have scoliosis, chronic orthopedic conditions or people that are in physical therapy. Her pressure is moderate to firm and she enjoys doing very specific work. Lela believes massage therapy is excellent complimentary care to traditional allopathic medicine. Her practice is trusted by an extensive network of physical therapists, doctors, and athletic clubs throughout Richmond

Lela ensured that I understood what was about to happen. She was patient and didn't rush through the session. Adequate attention was dedicated to each area, and special attention dedicated to highlighted areas. Thank you Lela.

Lela is incredibly knowledgeable about the body and how everything is connected. She understands and accommodates for my disability and I feel more mobile after I see her.

For the past 10 years Lela has taken care of my sports massage needs. I am a competitive athlete and her pre event care, post event care and continuing maintenance in between have allowed me to train and compete injury free, continuously and with confidence in my body. Lela is a hidden gem in our community with whom every athlete or care conscious person should become acquainted.
