A therapeutic and relaxing massage that focuses on realigning deeper layers of muscles and connective tissue. This massage is the perfect choice for clients with ailments such as chronic back pain, neck and shoulder pain, repetitive strain injuries, sciatica and muscle tension or spasms. The tissue is warmed before slowly going deeper, and deep tissue can be performed with a variety of pressures (to your comfort level) to break down adhesions and knots, the painful rigid tissue caused by tension. Particularly tense areas may experience some discomfort during the massage, and your body may feel like it does post-workout for a day or two afterwards. However, this tends to abate with more frequent massages, and ultimately clients experience extensive and often lasting relief of their symptoms. Ideally, as with any bodywork, this massage should be performed regularly for maintenance and to prevent your body from becoming accustomed to holding itself in a tense state.

Donna Polito: Licensed Massage Therapist
Donna began her healing career as a personal trainer and obtained her Bachelor's in Kinesiology from West Chester University. An athlete her whole life, fitness was her passion from an early age, inspiring her to help and educate people how to acquire and maintain a healthy lifestyle. As she puts it, "You are only given one body; treat it right!" As a personal trainer, her clients were seeing great results in their fitness goals. However, many of them would come to her a few days later, expressing muscle soreness and wanting to know what they could do to relieve this other than stretching. Donna remembered how as a two-sport collegiate athlete (field hockey/softball) she first turned to massage to help her body prepare and recuperate before and after her games. Consequently, she decided to turn to massage herself to help her clients live pain-free lives. As she puts it, "this is by far the best decision I have ever made". Donna now enjoys teaching young athletes the importance of taking care of their bodies and the benefits massage has on their performance. Donna's approach to massage is both intuitive and clinical. With a gentle yet deep touch, she specializes in techniques, such as deep tissue, corrective massage, sports massage, Swedish massage and myofascial release, to develop, maintain and rehabilitate the physical function of the body. In an age of technical and, at times, impersonal medicine, Donna believes that massage offers a drug-free, non-invasive and humanistic approach based on the body's natural ability to heal itself.

Newtown Massage And Spa Massage Therapy Protocol
What to expect from your massage
At Newtown Massage and Spa, we customize your massage to your needs to ensure you have an enjoyable and relaxing experience every single time. Look forward to a multitude of massage therapy benefits. Escape your stress in our soothing spa atmosphere and let our friendly and highly qualified massage therapists pamper you and encourage your body's healing processes. Whether you're here for the treatment of neck pain, sciatica, hip pain, lower back pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, overall tension or quite simply relaxation, we will be happy to recommend the perfect therapist for you.
How to Book
To schedule your appointment, you can either book through the app on our website, book a session on your smartphone through the MINDBODY app or simply give us a call on (215) 598-7750. Our knowledgeable front desk staff will be happy to discuss your needs with you and recommend an appropriate modality, as well as a therapist who performs this.
Meet and Greet
For your first appointment we request that you arrive 15 minutes early so that you can fill out an intake form. The form lists preexisting conditions, medical concerns and your massage preferences. For subsequent sessions, we request that clients arrive at least 5 – 10 minutes ahead of time so that we can start and end your massage on time out of respect for the clients after you. We encourage our clients to give their therapists feedback throughout the session if they would like anything, e.g. pressure, to be adjusted. Your therapist will need this information to tailor their massage to you. They will also ask you about your goals for this particular session and going forward if you have booked a package of sessions, which is generally recommended for those looking to treat an ongoing condition such as chronic pain. Many clients ask how often they should schedule a massage. Our response to this is that it depends on the specific condition you are treating, as well as your personal goals. For instance, athletes often find that more regular massage enables them to perform more consistently, whereas those with sedentary desk jobs or professions putting them at risk of repetitive strain injury can reduce their risk of chronic pain with more regular massage. As a rule of thumb, we recommend at least once a month for maintenance and weekly or bimonthly for conditions requiring more in-depth treatment. In addition, our massage packages or membership are a great deal for those who would like to make massage a regular priority in their life.
Starting Your Massage
After filling out your intake form and discussing your needs, your massage therapist will take you to one of our tranquil and spa-like massage rooms where you can look forward to relaxing on a comfortable massage table with a cosy heating pad (if needed) and soft, clean sheets covered with a blanket. You will find a chair for your personal belongings. Once your therapist has ensured you have no further questions, they will leave the room for you to disrobe to your comfort level. For some people this means removing everything and others prefer to leave on their undergarments. Either option is fine because your therapist wants you to feel as comfortable as possible. Once disrobed, lie under the top sheet of the massage table. Your therapist will tell you whether they are starting you face up or face down. If it is face down, they will ask you to place your face in the face cradle, which they will adjust as needed once reentering the room after first knocking to check you are ready. On reentering the room, your therapist will check you are comfortable and whether anything needs to be adjusted and then the massage will begin. To preserve your modesty, they will only uncover the part of the body they are currently working on, and the rest of you will be fully draped at all times. Giving feedback: We respect that some clients prefer to chat while others like to remain silent. We will follow your lead. It's up to you to tailor your massage. In addition, don't ever hesitate to give feedback during the massage. We want to ensure you have the best possible experience. Our therapists are all licensed and trained professionals.
During Your Massage
Before beginning the session, your therapist will ask you to alert them if, at any time during the session, massage techniques or strokes they are using are uncomfortable. Depending on your specific needs or requests, your massage therapist will either perform a customized full-body massage (for general relaxation and stress reduction) or focus on the specific parts of your body that you have requested. Communicate: This is your customized massage. If you have feedback on pressure, room temperature, lighting, let us know.
Post-Massage
At the end of your massage session, your therapist will leave the room for you to re-dress. They will meet you at the front desk where they will give you a cup of water, and where you also have a chance to reschedule with our front desk staff if you so wish. Please don't hesitate to contact us with any concerns you may have once you go home. We want you to feel like you are in good hands and truly care about the outcome of your particular condition. We look forward to welcoming you in our facility, and are confident that we will provide you with an unforgettable massage. Hydrate: After a deep tissue massage, it is common to experience soreness similar to that of post-workout syndrome. Water helps flush out the minerals released during your massage while rehydrating your muscles and reducing potential soreness.
