Phil De Ricco LMT

Greetings, I am a graduate of the Connecticut Center for Massage Therapy where I maintained a 4.0 GPA in both hands on and academic classes. I have an ongoing interest in increasing my knowledge and skill with continuing education classes.  Most recently I have taken  Advanced Soft Tissue Class and I am currently studying  Neural Reset Therapy, CranioSacral Therapy, and NeuroMuscular Reprogramming. 

I am an active volunteer in the community.  I provide pre and post event massage at athletic events such as the Steeple Chase Bike Tour.  I have provided massage to caretakers at The Hole in the Wall Gang Camp in Ashford,  to students at UCONN and QVCC, the community at ECSU, and to teachers and staff at the Mansfield Elementary and Middle Schools. 

If you choose to have us work together our session will always be "all about you". You are the most important person there is during the time that we share.  Each person is an individual, I listen to you during your intake and then I try to do what you ask for. I customize the session to meet your needs and add what I think is appropriate as we work together.  I give an integrated massage using techniques I know that are appropriate for you and your body.  My massage is deeply relaxing while I work to decrease pain, increase range of motion,  and help facilitate injury recovery.

I am passionate about being a good therapist and I strive to consistently provide you with an exceptional client experience. My goal is to be a therapist  that is “helping to heal the world one person at a time.” It would be both an honor and a privilege for me to work with you.
