I am a New York State Licensed and Board Certified massage

therapist, offering skilled bodywork to

people seeking chronic or acute pain relief, relaxation, increased

flexibility, or overall well-being. I graduated from the Swedish

Institute of Massage Therapy in New York City, and am a member of the

American Massage Therapy Association. I have extensive bodywork

experience and have treated over a thousand clients.

My work is client-centered, and my treatments are created to meet my

client’s specific goals. A thorough health history and consultation is

done before the first session, free of charge, in order to figure out

how to proceed with a personalized treatment plan. My massage work is

conveniently located in the middle of Manhattan (in the Gramercy /

Stuyvesant / Union Square area). In addition, I offer client-specific corrective

exercises and stretches that can be performed in between sessions in

order to maximize the therapeutic effects of the treatment.

I hold advanced certifications in medical, sports, and prenatal massage.

I primarily help people who suffer from chronic pain, sports and

work-related injuries, or have post-surgical pain or complications. My

number one goal is to free you of your pain so that you can resume your

day-to-day activities. I focus on improving alignment and balance and

optimizing range of motion to help you move freely, without pain or

restrictions. Please visit my website at www.Rachel-Richards.com to
