Nishati Wellness Post-op Massage Specialist — Local services in Richland

Mixed feelings on this place.

For context: I got my wife a :50 deep tissue massage here for her birthday. We found ourselves unexpectedly in town so I only made the booking four days prior.

The important part: My wife loved the massage. At the end of the day, that is what counts, what matters, and the reason for the four stars.

What follows are my notes on why they didn't get the fifth star.

BOOKING Booking was all online, with no opportunity to talk to anyone. No phone. No email. On the website there is an option to send a message. I sent two separate messages on different days and those notes were never answered. (I was trying to ask for a quote and to pay upfront for my wife's gift. I was inquiring about 60 and 90 min options.)

PRICE On the site, there is no price listed for the deep tissue massage. It just says "price varies". They took a $50 deposit. There was never an opportunity to ask about the cost. I waited for my wife in the lobby and only at the end was able to ask the amount. It turned out to be $120 before gratuity.

LOCATION The address is a building of businesses. Nishati is not listed on the outdoor signage nor on the business listings on the building. We walked around the building twice. We entered through a door that lead to upstairs offices. As we started up the stairs, a woman leaned out of a ground-floor door and asked if she could help us. This turned out to be the spa. If there was a sign with their name on it, I never saw it.

Overall, the woman we talked to was lovely and my wife enjoyed the massage. The vibe is subdued and quiet. Beyond that, only communication prior to the appointment would have made the...

I started going to Nishati wellness in 2022 for vacuum cupping on my glute muscles. I work out legs and glutes 3x’s a week but my glutes would not grow! I started with vacuum cupping after researching and discovering that muscles can get strapped down like basically glued due to tight fascia. Fascia can become dysfunctional due to scar tissue etc and will refuse to stretch! Obviously this problematic fascia can restrict muscle growth because all of our muscles are wrapped in fascia, I also have fibromyalgia which causes micro tears and abrasions, scars etc to form within fascia. After only a couple cupping session I started noticing a better “pump” in my glute muscles during my workouts! And between my BB competitions in 2022 to now 2023 I have had to get my suit bottoms re-made into a larger size! With vacuum cupping and consistent training sessions with my coach I outgrew my suit bottoms! 🤩 I have recently begun vacuum cupping on my hamstrings as well and I can not wait to see the improvements in muscle development in my 2024 competition season. Cupping can help break up scar tissue, increase circulation aka blood flow, increase collagen and...

I highly recommend Nishati Wellness for all your post op care. The girls are very knowledgeable and are dedicated to providing the absolute best care. I enjoy visiting the clinic. The girls are so welcoming and make me feel like family. I feel so comfortable in their care. The massages are incredible and I always leave feeling great. They always find a way to work with my schedule and make appointments that work for me. They offer wide variety of faja options that were specifically designed (by Anna) for post op recovery. This is so convenient and keeps you from purchasing the wrong garment online. They help ease all your fears and worries that come with surgery. There were many times that I felt like I wasn’t healing properly and they reassured me that everything I was going through was normal and appropriate for the healing process. They also keep in contact with local surgeons just in case anything concerning arises. Overall, I and so thankful for Nishati Wellness and staff. Truly a blessing to have found such an amazing facility that provides...
