Steven Richard, a licensed massage therapist, now brings his healing, therapeutic massage touch to Johnston. Conveniently located in his home, Mr. Richard is able to offer to his growing list of clients traditional Swedish and Deep Tissue Massages at very affordable prices. He personalizes and customizes each massage experience to address the client's specific areas of muscle stress, and is careful not to be pressured by the clock, as in massage membership-spas. He does not tie his clients to a long-term commitment, and is willing to do whatever he can to accommodate their unique needs. Therapist Stephen'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.

Mr. Richard introduces an FDA-approved, progressive form of therapy to his practice which employs the biofeedback, electromagnetic pulses of a revolutionary device known as the "Ondamed" ® machine. Mr. Richard 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 are produced as a result. It is used to assist the body in balancing hormones, fighting infections, improving mood, and reducing inflammation and pain. Patients on chemotherapy or radiation, as well as stroke patients who have Ondamed treatments, often experience a significant decrease in side-effects, thus finding their quality of life much improved. Skin conditions, such as eczema and allergies can also improve. 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.

Steven. Richard also specializes 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. 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. If you are suffering from any of these debilitating conditions, relief is possible. Mr.Richard is licensed and certified in this highly specialized form of therapeutic intervention.
