Benefits of Massage

Based on my experience receiving massages, personal research, years of continuing education, and recertification in various modalities, I feel strongly that the most useful of massage benefits is the ability to regain what one has lost and to become pain-free. This benefit above all has motivated me time and time again to double my efforts and take my passion and ability for helping people to the next level.

Partial List of Massage Benefits:

  • Relaxes and softens injured and overused muscles.
  • Reduces spasms and cramping.
  • Increases joint flexibility.
  • Relieves symptoms of tinnitus and vertigo.
  • Reduces recovery time for strenuous workouts and eliminating subsequent pains of the athlete at any level.
  • Releases endorphins, the body’s natural painkiller. For this reason, massage is being incorporated into treatment for chronic illness, injury and recovery from surgery to control and relieve pain.
  • Reduces post-surgery adhesions and edema and reduces and realigns scar tissue after healing has occurred.
  • Improves range of motion and decreases discomfort for patients with chronic lower back pain, plantar fasciitis, TMJ, and fibromyalgia.
  • Relieves pain for migraine sufferers and decreases the need for medication.
  • Provides exercise and stretching for the benefit of atrophied muscles and reduces shortening of the muscles for those with restricted range of motion.
  • Massage is an effective tool for pain relief!

Testimonials

Initially, I made an appointment with Ricky for foot pain.  I badly injured my knee a few days before my appointment with him, so that became Ricky’s top priority.  He said the laser would take out the inflammation in my knee which was so swollen, I could not bend it. I was on crutches. Additionally, my doctor ordered an MRI which showed a tear that would most likely require surgery.  But to make a long story short, the knee was bending after my first session at Ricky’s.  He had it at 90 degrees.  Now I’m back to playing tennis, my foot is much improved and I am glad I kept my first visit with Rick.

My brother told me about Ricky’s massage therapy.  I came from Brooklyn for a series of three sessions.  I went back home pain-free.  I can lift up my little girl again and swing her around.

For my shingles, it was like turning off the switch to the pain.

I’ve always had TMJ pain… always that tightness.  Now I know what “normal” feels like.

I was quite skeptical that Ricky’s (or anyone’s) work would improve my vertigo.  But after the first treatment, the results were immediate.  And the following day showed even more improvement.

I knew I was facing paralyzation. My back pain was so severe, I had to eat my meals laying on my stomach on the floor.  After two sessions with Ricky, I was almost pain-free.

Injections, pain meds, physical therapy… Nothing helped until I went to Ricky.

I just had my first visit with Ricky, and I am amazed. I’ve been dealing with lower back pain for some time now, but the treatments Ricky used eased the pain and the inflammation, makes me want to go dancing now. I’ve tried all of the best technology out there, but what Ricky did today I felt immediate relief. Thank-you so much, I can’t wait for my next appointment!

When I finally went to Ricky, I had been having back pain for 9 months. I had tried everything: regular massage, chiropractic adjustments, acupuncture, cupping, doctor/pain meds and physical therapy for little to no relief. I had seen Ricky’s advertisement several times before, but I finally decided to give him a call after experiencing excruciating pain along the back of my rib cage. I wished I had made the call 9 months earlier! One visit and I was able to sleep through the night without pain. A couple of more visits and the pain was gone. Ricky’s combined use of the cold laser and the G5 percussive therapy really gets to the source of the pain. In addition to helping me, Ricky has also helped my son with post concussion treatment to help with his vertigo and headaches, as well as his Sever’s disease, and my daughter with her plantar fasciitis. Now, when my family experiences any physical pain (whether it is an injury or growing pains), I call Ricky. No matter how bad the pain is when we go to see Ricky, we always leave pain free.

Ricky is awesome! I have been to physical therapists, chiropractors & massage therapists before but Ricky is hands down the best at what he does. From severe back pain & spasms to tennis elbow, to a broken growth plate to a severely sprained ankle, Ricky has treated and healed all of these in my family! And, in less time than anyone else we have seen!! His massage techniques combined with laser & G5 therapy are above and beyond what any doctor could order. And, the best part-he and his wife, Wendy, are some of the most amazing, genuine, faith-based people I know! Thank you to both of them for making our lives & our bodies healed

Have major foot issues and Ricky has worked wonders. Just spent a week walking around the french quarter and no pain. First time in a long time. I will always see Rick for any problems I have.

In sum, Ricky is wonderful! I came to Ricky only a few weeks ago with a multitude of chronic pain related problems, in addition to a complex health history. I had been to many different specialists, such as chiropractors, physical therapists, pain specialists, etc. I had also been to many good massage therapists, but was finding it hard to find that “right” person for me! Someone who would take the time I required due to the complexity of my situation, who had extensive knowledge, who used a multitude of modalities and techniques and could think outside the box! However, right off the bat, Ricky was curious, asking lots of questions, and was without a doubt up to the challenge! It was so nice to have someone willing to work hard on my behalf, even if it meant additional researching on his own time. The combination of his G5 percussive therapy, cold laser therapy, cupping and hand massage, is showing great progress and I am looking forward to the end results! Ricky’s passion to help others shines through each and every visit! Not to mention his sweet wife Wendy who is always a ray of sunshine!
