About Bhavisha Perry — Licensed Medical Massage Therapist & Lymphatic Drainage Specialist

I’m Bhavisha Perry, a Licensed Medical Massage Therapist specializing in lymphatic drainage, prenatal massage, sports massage, medical massage, myofascial release, and pelvic floor–informed bodywork. I support clients in the Upper West Side with care that blends clinical skill, anatomical precision, and a deeply attuned, restorative approach.

A path shaped by curiosity and care

I’ve always been drawn to the quiet intelligence of the body—how it protects, adapts, and heals. My path to massage therapy wasn’t linear; it grew from curiosity, compassion, and a desire to support people in a way that feels both emotionally attuned and clinically grounded. My background in psychology taught me how people carry stress; massage therapy showed me how the body can release it. This work is where science, structure, and attuned care meet. Where the body is listened to, not rushed. Where healing becomes a conversation.

Clinical focus and specialties

My practice centers on modalities that support healing, mobility, and nervous‑system regulation:

  • Lymphatic Drainage for inflammation, swelling, and post‑surgical recovery

  • Sports Massage for mobility, performance, and injury prevention

  • Deep Tissue & Medical Massage for chronic pain and functional relief

  • Prenatal Postpartum Massage for comfort, circulation, and nervous‑system support

  • Myofascial Release for mobility and tension reduction

  • Pelvic Floor–Informed Bodywork for core and pelvic stability

Each session is tailored to your body’s needs that day—guided by anatomy, shaped by intuition.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • I offer restorative, clinically informed massage therapy designed to support healing, reduce pain, and improve mobility. My work integrates medical massage, lymphatic drainage, sports recovery, and deep tissue techniques to address tension, swelling, and movement restrictions with precision and care. Each session is tailored to your body’s needs, helping you feel more balanced, supported, and at ease.

  • Scheduling an appointment is simple. To schedule, go to the Restoration Treatments page and select the treatment that aligns with your goals and areas of concern.

  • I don’t take a one‑size‑fits‑all approach. You can come in simply wanting to relax, but I look deeper — how you move, what your day looks like, and what your body is actually telling me. Whether you need trigger point therapy, myofascial release, or a gentler approach, I choose techniques based on what will truly help you feel better.

  • You can reach us anytime via our contact page or email. We aim to respond quickly—usually within one business day.

  • I don’t bill insurance directly, but I can provide a superbill upon request.

  • Choose a licensed massage therapist with advanced training in deep tissue and clinical assessment. A qualified therapist should understand anatomy, apply slow and precise pressure and adjust techniques based on how your tissue responds. Their focus should be therapeutic effectiveness, not just intensity.

  • You can choose a treatment based on what you want to feel that day, or we can chat and figure it out together. I’ll help you land on the option that supports your body best.

  • Medical massage can support chronic tension, pain, limited mobility, post‑surgical swelling, cancer‑related treatment effects, and scar‑tissue restrictions. It focuses on targeted, therapeutic techniques to improve function and reduce discomfort.

  • Deep tissue focuses on slow, targeted pressure to release muscle tension. Medical massage uses clinical assessment to address specific conditions—like pain patterns, swelling, or scar‑tissue restrictions—and blends techniques based on what your body needs that day.

  • The lymphatic system works like the earth’s water system. It flushes toxins, clears blockages from adhesions and scar tissue, calms the nervous system, strengthens immune function, and helps the body return to a healthier equilibrium.

  • Each body responds differently. Deep tissue or sports massage leaves you loose, with mild tenderness—like a workout without the workout. With lymphatic drainage, if you haven’t flushed properly, you may feel tired or fluish. Hydration is key to help your system reset.

  • Most people start weekly until the tissue resets, then shift to every other week. Each session should move you forward — not repeat old patterns. Your progress depends on what you put into it, including your homework and hydration.
