About me

My mission at Rick Lothrop Massage Therapy and Bodywork, is to provide quality bodywork and massage therapy with integrity in hopes of helping and healing, without discrimination or judgment.  If you feel better physically and psychologically, everyone around you gets a better version of you!  This is my way of paying it forward.

After graduating from a renowned massage school in Boulder, Colorado, in 1992, I worked as a Massage Therapist for the United States National Cycling Team. That lead to a thirst for knowledge in the injury and healing aspect of the profession. I became a Physical Therapy Assistant A.S, in 1999, and worked for 14 years in Physical Therapy. I then returned to Massage Therapy, hoping to help those with muscle and soft tissue issues who struggle to find relief through the conventional healthcare system.


I grew up in Vermont and was drawn to the healthcare field and helping others. Most likely, this was a result of watching my mother care for many people as a registered nurse. After watching a special segment on the Tour de France in 1989, I developed an interest in learning massage and working with athletes. 


My passions are skiing, cycling, nature photography, music and massage & bodywork, not necessarily in that order. I am a proud father of an amazing young daughter, which will continue for our lifetime..

Unique Tailored Massage Experience

I have worked in a variety of settings, hospitals, nursing homes, health clubs, spas, and sporting events; which include  World Cycling Championships, cycling events & races and volley ball tournaments.

Look no further - you've found the BEST in Rick Lothrop! As a marathon runner and frequent traveler, I often need to book a massage in a new city, and I've had some great ones in the world's best spas and wellness centers, but this one was a "WOW" experience and tops them all by a wide margin. I've honestly never had such an exceptionally effective, wonderful massage. After a long and difficult cross-country flight, I went from feeling so sore and achey that I couldn't sleep to feeling zero pain and having fully restored mobility within one session. Rick welcomed me into his beautiful, spotlessly clean treatment room, where he's created the most warm, peaceful and comfortable sanctuary. After discussing what was happening, through his extensive skill set, knowledge, experience, and sharp intuitive sense, he managed to fix it all within my 90-minute session, which he generously exceeded to provide the necessary treatment. What shines through is that he genuinely cares and is very invested in his clients' wellbeing and improvement. I'm beyond impressed and so appreciative. I've already recommended him to others in Burlington, and would not even consider another massage therapist when I return to the area. Rick Lothrop is BY FAR the best. Highly recommend!!







This was the best massage I’ve ever had. Full stop. The studio is relaxing and welcoming. Ricks demeanor is kind and professional. The massage was tailored to my exact needs. But what really set Rick apart from other studios and practitioners was the actual massage work. He is highly skilled. I repeat, highly skilled at what he does. I would recommend him if your looking for focused body work and /or stress relief and relaxation.


Rick is the best! Excellent at understanding what’s uncomfortable and getting it fixed. Great guy, great atmosphere and makes you feel extremely comfortable! Would recommend to anyone.
