Corey Richason, Licensed Massage Therapist in Surprise, AZ

Meet Corey Richason, LMT

​

If you’re dealing with pain, stiffness, or limited movement, you don’t need guesswork. You need someone who understands how the body moves and what’s actually causing the problem.

​

I’m Corey Richason, a licensed massage therapist with over 24 years of hands-on experience, serving active adults in Surprise, AZ and the surrounding West Valley.

​

I specialize in helping people move better, reduce discomfort, and stay active without relying on cookie-cutter treatments.

​

What I Do

My work focuses on identifying movement restrictions and soft tissue limitations that contribute to pain.

Every session is customized. There’s no routine, no “full-body template,” and no unnecessary add-ons.

Techniques may include:

  • Sports massage

  • Deep tissue when appropriate

  • Myoskeletal Alignment Techniques (MAT)

  • Assisted stretching and mobility work

  • Cupping and IASTM when needed

  • Hot stone integration for targeted relaxation
     

The goal is simple:
Help your body move the way it’s supposed to.
 

Who I Help

​

Most of my clients are active adults between 40 and 60 who want to stay moving without pain slowing them down.


That includes:

  • Golfers and pickleball players

  • Busy professionals with tight backs and shoulders

  • Active retirees who want to maintain mobility

  • Anyone dealing with ongoing stiffness or movement limitations
     

If your body feels tight, restricted, or just not the same as it used to… you’re in the right place.

​

My Approach

​

I don’t chase trends or make exaggerated claims.

​

Massage isn’t a magic reset button. It’s a tool. When used correctly, it can help reduce discomfort, improve mobility, and support long-term movement.

​

My approach is:

  • Results-focused

  • Honest and straightforward

  • Based on experience, not hype

  • Built around your specific needs
     

You’ll always know what we’re working on and why.
