Testimonials
Ashley gave an amazing massage!! Asked thorough questions beforehand to understand what my needs were, ensured I was comfortable throughout, really concentrated on those problem areas, and when I left I was able to raise my arm all the way above my head!! I haven’t been able to do that in quite a long time due to a shoulder issue!
This was one of the best massages I've ever had. My therapist was very skilled at being able to adjust the pressure by my muscles reactions. I will be back soon. So glad I found this little gem!
I highly recommend NOLA Stretch & Recovery. By far, the best massage therapy and facial stretching I’ve ever had!! Lydia and Tana are true professionals and I’m sure the other staff members are as well.
Lydia is the best!! I have been seeing her for 15 years and drive from Slidell once a month for a great massage.
I have been going to NOLA stretch & Recovery for over 2 years and it only gets better and better each time I go. The team there knows my muscle issues and when I walk out I feel like a champ.
Frequently asked questions

A “massage therapist” is a professionally trained and licensed practitioner who has completed extensive education in therapeutic techniques, focusing on health and wellness benefits. The term “masseuse” is less formal and doesn’t necessarily reflect professional training.
During your first full body massage, expect a relaxing environment where you will be asked about your health and massage preferences. The session typically involves a variety of techniques applied across the body to relieve tension, improve circulation, and promote relaxation.
A full body massage generally includes treatment of all major muscle groups including the back, shoulders, legs, feet, arms, hands, and neck. Techniques may vary, but the goal is to release tension and promote a sense of overall well-being.
The intensity of a massage should be comfortable for you. It’s important to communicate with our professionals about your comfort level and any sensitivity or pain you experience, as the pressure can be adjusted to ensure the massage is effective yet relaxing.

Post-Surgery Recovery: The Critical Role of Lymphatic Drainage
Your lymphatic system is one of the body’s most vital yet often overlooked healing mechanisms. It’s responsible for removing excess fluid, reducing swelling, and supporting immune defense. After surgery, the body is especially vulnerable to fluid buildup, inflammation, and compromised circulation. That’s where lymphatic drainage becomes critical—it helps your body recover faster, minimizes complications, and restores balance during the healing process. What is Manual Lymphatic Drainage? Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) is a specialized technique that uses very gentle, rhythmic strokes to stimulate the lymphatic system. Unlike a typical massage, MLD

What is Manual Lymphatic Drainage and How is it Different from a Massage Therapist Session?
Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) is a specialized, gentle therapy designed to support the body’s lymphatic system—a network essential for immune function and fluid balance. Rather than focusing on muscle tension, MLD uses light, rhythmic strokes to encourage lymph fluid movement, helping reduce swelling, detoxify tissues, and enhance healing. This method is especially beneficial for post-surgical care, lymphedema relief, and boosting immunity. By stimulating lymphatic flow, MLD can facilitate a sense of lightness and well-being that differs greatly from more conventional, pressure-based bodywork. Each session aims to gently coax the body

Working From Home in the A/C? 5 Desk Stretches to Loosen a Tight Back
Working from home has its perks—no commute, pajama pants, and full control of the thermostat. But spending hours sitting in an air-conditioned room at your desk can do a number on your back. The combination of prolonged sitting and chilled muscles can lead to stiffness, reduced circulation, and tight hips and shoulders. If you’ve noticed nagging tension or discomfort in your lower or upper back, you’re not alone. Fortunately, there are simple stretches you can do right at your desk to ease that tightness and prevent it from getting worse.
