Meet Steven Richard, a licensed massage therapist, now bringing his healing, therapeutic massage touch to Johnston. Located conveniently in his home, Steven is able to offer to his growing list of clients traditional Swedish and Deep Tissue Massages at highly competitive prices, but he also offers several non-traditional approaches to healing as well. He is eager to personalize and customize his massage treatments to each client's specific areas of muscle stress, and is careful not to "watch the clock" like in massage membership-spas. His clients are not locked into a schedule or long-term commitment, and every measure is taken to accommodate their unique needs. Steven's primary goal is to bring his experienced touch to his clients in a calming space where they can shut out the noise of their busy lives and feel rested and replenished.

Along with the more traditional massage treatments, Steven is also licensed in a unique form of therapy known as "Manual Lymphatic Drainage.” An increasingly popular form of therapy, Manual Lymphatic Drainage therapy, promotes a healthy lymphatic system. The lymphatic system is a complex network of vessels and ducts that move fluid throughout the body, moving toxins away from healthy cells and carrying germ-fighting materials to cells when they are under attack by viruses. When that system fails, lymph nodes may become swollen, those toxins build up, and uncomfortable symptoms like swelling or digestive problems often occur. This therapy, which consists of the manual massage of specific lymph nodes, is used to alleviate symptoms such as fluid retention (especially following surgeries), swelling, digestive problems, even coughs and any kind of lung or sinus congestion. Visit Steven Richard, for the relief of these debilitating conditions.

Mr. Richard also utilizes a progressive form of therapy which employs the biofeedback, electromagnetic pulses of a revolutionary device known as the "ONDAMED" machine. Steven owns one of only five such machines in the state and now offers its positive, painless and effective results to his clients. It is well documented that almost anyone with any degree of malady, from mild or severe, can benefit from Ondamed. Relaxation, muscle re-education, rehabilitation and a state of general wellness can be achieved with its use. It is used to assist the body in balancing hormones, fighting infections, improving mood, and reducing inflammation and pain. Chronic back pain and joint pain, those suffering from headaches, mood disorders, hormonal and digestive conditions, as well as neurological and circulatory disorders can significantly benefit from Ondamed. Mr. Richard is specifically trained in the use of Ondamed and brings this revolutionary new technology to you.
