Best of Rhode Island Editor's Pick 2015 Winner! "People, even more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed and redeemed; never throw out anyone."
- Audrey Hepburn
Guilty indulgence or therapeutic benefit? For years, this question regarding massage therapy has been raised. Unfortunately, much of the public views the ancient healing art as an indulgence reserved for a privileged few rather than a benefit to the body. Close friends Jessica Lavoie and Morgan Woodard are committed to change the common misconception about their practice. Most people don't realize massage is the oldest medical treatment in the world, dating as far back as 2500 BC. With that in mind, Jessica and Morgan set out to create an environment where the benefits of massage therapy are demonstrated, promoted and advocated. The name Revival was chosen not only because massage therapy literally revives one's body, mind and soul, but also because Jessica and Morgan embrace the opportunity to revive the true purpose of massage therapy. Nestled in a bustling area on the historic East Side of Providence, Revival Massage & Bodyworks is housed in the 1799 John Updike building. The office is conveniently located within walking distance of RISD, Brown University and the financial district. As massage therapy becomes increasingly viewed in a positive light for its many therapeutic advantages, Revival Massage & Bodyworks is excited to continue the practice of this storied healing art. Come experience it for yourself.
