From the reviews
Richmond Sports Massage is incredible. I was amazed by Lela's ability to understand my injuries, pinpoint the underlying causes of pain, and explain it all to me in terms that were rigorous and scientific, but totally understandable.
Timmerie’s deep tissue massage can be painful but so good at loosening up muscles in tight back/neck. 1st ever Thai massage was disappointing at first as it didn’t “feel” like it had worked like it does after a deep tissue massage.
Lela is the most knowledgeable and experienced Sports Massage Therapist an athlete could wish for. She is an artist and a scientist in her work. She works with passion and dedication to help athletes keep doing what they love. Lela has provided sports massage for me for the past 10 years.
Lela and Richmond Sports Massage are amazing. Working with me though some residual back issues related to an injury, Lela was phenomenal. Lela explained what she was doing and how it would help in my recovery process.
What to expect from your first cupping session
New to cupping? Here's the short version. What happens: the practitioner places cups on the skin — most often the back, shoulders, or legs — and creates suction (with a pump, or briefly with a flame for fire cupping). Cups either stay put for a few minutes (dry cupping) or are glided over oiled skin (massage cupping). A session is usually 15–45 minutes, often added to a massage or acupuncture visit. The marks: cupping leaves round, bruise-like circles that are normal and usually fade in a few days to a couple of weeks — they're discoloration from the suction, not an injury, and shouldn't really hurt. What to wear: comfortable clothing that gives access to the area being treated. Afterward: drink water, keep the area warm, and skip intense sun or a hot sauna right after.
