Student Clinic Services
Student Massage Treatments
Massage treatments performed by students of The New School for Massage, under the supervision of an instructor. Student therapists will, at a minimum, be able to provide a Swedish (relaxation) massage; depending on their level of training at the time of the appointment, they may also have the skills to perform condition-specific work but we cannot guarantee that as appointments are randomly assigned to students at the beginning of their shift. If you have requests for a specific therapist, gender, conditions to be addressed, or specific bodywork modality, we recommend a professional therapist.

Chair Massage is a convenient and efficient form of massage therapy that is performed while the client is seated in a specially designed, ergonomic chair.

They do not require the use of oils and can be performed over the client's clothing, offering a quick yet effective way to relieve stress and muscle tension.

Myofascial Cupping
Myofascial Cupping involves placing cups on the skin to create suction. The cups may be set in place for a set period of time, or moved around over a larger area creating a kneading effect. The suction creates a vacuum that draws the tissue upward into the cup. The skin may turn red as the blood vessels respond to the change in pressure. The effect is release of fascia tissue adhesions, stimulation blood flow and circulation to the target area, and engagement of the parasympathetic nervous system to create a deep relaxation to the body. The suction creates a mild bruising or discoloration which will go away within 10 days of the session.

Pre/Post-Event Sports Massage
Pre/Post-Event Sports Massage is a specialized form of massage therapy aimed at athletes and active individuals, tailored for use before or after sports events.
The pre-event massage focuses on preparing the body for high-intensity activity. It uses stimulating techniques to increase circulation, flexibility, and mental clarity, reducing the risk of injury and enhancing performance.
The post-event massage, on the other hand, is centered around recovery. It employs soothing, gentle strokes to alleviate muscle fatigue, promote relaxation, and accelerate the body’s recovery process. This type of massage aids in flushing out metabolic waste, reducing muscle soreness, and preventing delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS).
Both pre and post-event massages are integral to an athlete's regimen, enhancing their overall sports performance and aiding in quicker, more efficient recovery.

Lymphatic Drainage
Lymphatic Drainage Massage is a gentle, rhythmic massage therapy that is renowned for its therapeutic benefits, especially in promoting the natural drainage of the lymphatic system. This system plays a crucial role in our body by aiding in the removal of waste products, toxins, and excess fluids. The technique involves light, soft strokes and gentle pumping movements directed towards the lymph nodes. This specific method helps to stimulate the flow of lymph fluid, which supports the body’s detoxification process and boosts the immune system. Lymphatic Drainage Massage is particularly beneficial for reducing swelling, improving skin texture, and promoting relaxation and wellbeing. It is an ideal treatment for those recovering from surgery, suffering from lymphedema, or looking for a holistic approach to health and relaxation. This soothing and healing massage not only aids in detoxification but also leaves you feeling rejuvenated and refreshed.
