Whole Body Health and Wellness Massage Therapy

A collaboration between Fitness Together of Avon and

Commence Wellness

By introducing Commence Wellness: Massage Therapy, we are looking to further improve our clients' ability to move, stay mobile, and cope with physical and mental stress. Massage therapy also aids in reducing and improving any overuse injury that may occur.

At Fitness Together, we have always emphasized the importance of moving safely and effectively. Our recent adoption of the Functional Movement Screen is proof of this. By adding activity-specific massage therapy to our services, we are looking to take this philosophy to the next level.

The massage therapy being done at Fitness Together will, for the most part, be significantly different than your typical spa style massage. There will be a greater emphasis on total body health and functionality. Techniques will be incorporated from exercise physiology, yoga, active stretching, and traditional massage therapy. This will all be done in an effort to help improve your health and physical performance. We will also be offering a traditional relaxation-based massage.

Below are brief descriptions of the massage based services that we will be offering at Fitness Together. It should be noted that there are no differences in price between any of these services. However, by being a member at Fitness Together, you will receive a significant discount on any massage.

If any of the below options interest you, I encourage you to schedule a massage and try it out for yourself!

You only get one body, treat it right!

You may choose multiple styles/modalities when choosing a treatment

Deep Tissue Massage

A deep tissue massage from Commence Wellness will include techniques from traditional Swedish massage. More advanced techniques from exercise physiology, kinesiology, and yoga will be incorporated as needed or as requested as well. Though pressure will vary depending on your preference, these massages typically “feel deeper,” or more therapeutic, compared to other massages. If you have a nagging physical issue(s), this may be the best type of massage for you.

Traditional Swedish/Relaxation Massage

Even though a traditional Swedish massage may not focus as much on individual problem areas or injuries, it does help to reduce stress and improve recovery time after exercise. If you desire a relaxing total body massage that uses relatively light pressure, this may be the massage for you.

Injury Prevention and Rehabilitation Massage

如果你有一个特定的伤害,你尝试rehabilitate, this style of massage may be the most beneficial for recovery. Deeper therapeutic pressure is often used in one of these massages, but active stretching and muscular contractions are all used as well. Additionally, these massages are useful for preventing muscle imbalances and future injuries.

Sports Massage or Pre-Athletic Competition Massage

If you have an upcoming athletic event, the fast paced and relatively deep pressure sports massage is likely the best option for you. This type of massage is specifically geared towards improving athletic performance. Whether you are an Olympic athlete, or someone who has just started working out, you can expect to see some improvement in your athletic performance by adding sports massage to your routine.

Yoga and Active Stretching Massage

This style of massage begins with a quick yoga routine and includes many different stretches throughout the entire massage. If you seek to improve your mobility, flexibility, or just want to become better at yoga, this massage is right up your alley.

Chair Massage

The only massage that doesn't require the use of a massage table. Designed to be quick, easy, and convenient, the chair massage is the best massage if you are very limited on time.
