Therapeutic Massage
Our therapeutic massage addresses specific musculoskeletal issues through customized treatment plans. This service combines deep tissue work with neuromuscular therapy to relieve chronic pain and improve mobility. Clients benefit from targeted pressure adjustments and specialized techniques that promote healing in affected areas.

This classic technique uses long strokes and kneading movements to promote relaxation and improve circulation. Ideal for stress relief, our Swedish massage incorporates varying pressure levels while maintaining client comfort throughout the session. It serves as an excellent introduction to massage therapy.

My husband and I recently discovered this place and got our massages from Tanya. The whole experience was nice and relaxing! She was professional, friendly, and made us feel very comfortable by asking questions and addressing our specific issues. We will definitely be coming back :

I have been getting massage services for 25 years. This is the best I have ever visited. I have now been with them for years and will not leave as long as I have a choice. I believe that I have seen all of their staff and have never had a bad experience. It is clean, quiet and professional. The prices are reasonable and the results are great. Emphatically recommend this business.

Raleigh Barrett is knowledgeable and informative and goes the extra mile to see what you need and to help educate. He is professional and makes you feel comfortable in a soothing environment. I am so happy to see alternative approaches for holistic healing in Lafayette being a choice at Innerwaves. My only complaint is they need more Reiki practitioners! Highly recommend!

Maximiliano is AMAZING! One of the best massages I have EVER received and by far THE BEST FOOT MASSAGE ever! Please go see him, request him, ask about him! These guys work hard and they are so personable they deserve recognition. Innerwaves is very luck to have such a skilled massage therapist in Maximiliano!
