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 question
More Common 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.

Does Stretching Increase My Range of Motion?
The short answer is yes. Stretching helps your body move better. When your muscles and fascia are tight, your body cannot move the way it should. This often shows up in your arms, shoulders, and legs. You may feel stiff, sore, or limited when you try to reach, bend, or walk. With the right type of stretching, you can improve how far and how easily your body moves. At NOLA Stretch, we use stretch therapy in Metairie to help people move freely again. The goal is simple: reduce tightness, improve

Should I Stretch After My Intense Workout?
I would say yes. After a hard workout, your body is warm, and that is exactly what you want. Your muscles and fascia are more open and ready to move. This is the best time to work on your flexibility and improve your range of motion. When your tissue is warm, you can get deeper into your stretches without forcing anything. That means better results in less time. At NOLA Stretch, we often tell clients that post-workout is the perfect window to make real progress with stretch therapy in Metairie.

How Often Should You Do Stretch Therapy for Real Results?
If you want real results from stretch therapy, the answer comes down to consistency. One session can help you feel better right away, but real change in your flexibility, mobility, and range of motion happens over time. Your body needs repeated sessions to loosen tight muscles and fascia, and to learn how to move better. At NOLA Stretch, we use stretch therapy in Metairie to help people build lasting results, not just quick relief. The right frequency depends on your body, your lifestyle, and your goals, but there are clear
