Donna Polito, Licensed Massage Therapist (LMT) and Certified Personal Trainer (CPT)
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. Donna feels that "this is by far the best decision I have ever made". Donna now enjoys teaching 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. Massage Types Performed: Deep Tissue, Swedish, Sports, Cupping, Manual Lymphatic Drainage, Hot Stone, Thermo Therapy, Couples Add on to massage therapy offered: (Reflexology, Myofascial Release, Trigger Point Therapy)

During her time there she was intrigued by the chiropractor on staff providing hands on care for patients. After discussions with the chiropractor she discovered that she too could provide hands on care through massage therapy. This led her to attend the Pennsylvania School of Muscle Therapy in Oaks, Pa (now known as "Cortiva" in King of Prussia), earning a certificate in Massage Therapy in 2003. She has been practicing massage therapy ever since. Marissa generally uses medium to deep pressure and employs trigger-point therapy and stretches when suitable.

Massage Modalities Offered at WHF
Deep tissue massage
This massage is both therapeutic and relaxing. It focuses on realigning deeper layers of muscles and the network of connective tissue surrounding the muscles and bones. This makes deep tissue massage the ideal choice for those suffering from chronic pain such as repetitive strain injuries, sciatica and any other kind of muscle tension or spasm. Slower than other massage techniques to warm the tissue before going deeper, deep tissue massage 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. There may be some discomfort while performing these techniques on particularly tense areas and your body may feel like it does post-workout for a day or two afterwards. However, this tends to abate as you get it done more often, and ultimately clients experience extensive and often lasting relief of their symptoms. Ideally, as with any bodywork, this massage should be performed on a regular basis in order to maintain your body and prevent it from becoming accustomed to holding itself in a tense state. Combine this with Thai massage assisted stretching for a massage that not only relieves your tension, but also increases your range of motion and flexibility.
Swedish massage
Long gliding strokes, kneading and friction on the more superficial muscle layers improve blood flow to the soft tissues, increase circulation and alleviate muscle tension. Whilst deep tissue tends to get more "to the heart of the matter" by relieving chronic pain, Swedish massage is more about overall relaxation. Combine this with Thai massage assisted stretching for a massage that not only relieves your tension, but also increases your range of motion and flexibility.
Sports Massage
Enhance your athletic performance with a deep tissue massage combined with sports stretches to increase your body's range of motion, endurance, speed of response and flexibility for your upcoming game, or to relax and recuperate after the exertion of sports and reduce your recovery time. For gym clients we generally recommend getting a massage after working out. Because our therapists work closely with our trainers, this enables our team to devise a regime for you that will ensure you reach your goals.
Pregnancy Massage
A nurturing massage where the mother to be is specially bolstered and positioned to ensure her comfort. Reduces typical pregnancy swelling and stress on feet, ankles, lower back and neck. At WHF pregnancy massage is only performed after the first trimester.
Hot Stone Massage
Enhance your Swedish or deep tissue massage experience with the addition of heated stones to warm the muscles and additionally relieve muscle tension.
Couples Massage
Relax and enjoy some quality time with your significant other or a friend whilst two of our therapists pamper you side by side with a massage of your choice. *Please book at least a week in advance
Thermo Therapy
Utilizes moist heat packs to provide heat to the areas of your body that are being treated. Adding the heat packs along with your massage helps to increase blood flow which relaxes the muscles, reduces pain, and promotes healing. This allows the massage therapist to work deeper and specific to the affected area. Adding heat packs to your massage can be used in combination with deep tissue massage and for relaxation. Other massage types can be used upon request. Available for 60-minute and 90-minute massage sessions. Appointments must be made a day ahead of time for this specific treatment.
Lymphatic Drainage
Light touch moves excess lymph and fluid out of the tissues and back into lymphatic vessels. Excellent for conditions such as edema and boosting the immune system. *Introductory pricing offers does not apply for Lymphatic Drainage Massage option
Cupping
The therapist uses glass cups to apply suction to the surface of the body to draw out pathogens and invigorate the body's qi (energy flow). Provided in combination with massage or as a 30 minute cupping only treatment.
CBD Massage
Include cannabidiol (CBD) into your massage to enhance relaxation, reduce inflammation and relieve pain during your massage. CBD is a non-psychoactive compound found in the cannabis and hemp plant in high concentrations. CBD helps aid in pain relief associated with conditions such as: arthritis, back pain, joint pain and muscle tension.
Thai Techniques
Thai massage, also known as passive yoga, is comprised of an array of compression, traction and passive stretching, and includes moving the joints. The practitioner may perform these techniques using their feet, knees, hands and elbows. In addition to assisting with flexibility, Thai techniques also assist in the release of stuck energy, promoting an interesting state of uplifting relaxation. As an add-on, Thai techniques can be incorporated into any regular table massage.
Additional Services
Aromatherapy
Add essential oils to any of our massages to enhance your psychological and physical wellbeing.
Myofascial Release
This is a stretching technique where the therapist slowly stretches the fascia, a fine network of connective tissue surrounding the body's muscles and organs, guided by the patient's response. Injured muscle fibers and trauma result in shortened and tightened fascia, causing pain and tension. Myofascial release causes the fascia to relax and unwind for soothing pain relief.
PNF Stretching
Proprioceptive neuromuscular stretching is a sports massage technique used to increase range of motion, thus improving motor performance and rehabilitation.
Reflexology
Reflexology involves applying thumb pressure to reflex points on the feet that correspond to parts of the body, resulting in relaxation, balancing and healing. It can also be performed on the hands and ears. Available as a full 1-hour treatment blended with Reiki or as a 30-minute add-on to any treatment.
Trigger Point Therapy
This technique can be incorporated into any massage to relieve the sore knots that refer pain to other parts of the body. Finger pressure around and on these knots, starting slowly until the knot "invites you in", is used to relax them.
AromaTouch Technique
AromaTouch Technique (ATT) is a clinical approach to applying essential oils. ATT is not a regular full body massage, it is a 45 minute to 1 hour treatment. The essential oils applied along energy lines and reflexology points stimulates homeostasis and balance the body. ATT helps to improve well-being by reducing physical and emotional stressors, supports health autonomic function, stimulates the body's energy lines, centers/balances your body system and its function. In addition, this treatment can also help to stimulate the emotional center of your brain creating a sense of well-being. ATT is effective for helping to treat individuals of any age ATT is a combination of 8 essential oils from DoTerra blend, peppermint, lavender, aromatouch, tea tree, wild orange, deep blue, balance and on guard. These blends creates a sense of grounding, calming, relaxing. ATT oils possesses a number of applications including anti-fungal, anti-bacterial cleansing, immune system support, anti-microbial and anti-viral from some. ATT oils are small in molecular size that when applied can work quickly on your autonomic nervous system and reflexology. ATT can be especially beneficial for helping those with a number of conditions ranging from psychological to neurological.

Making the Impossible, Possible.
Our mission is to make healthcare fun for the residents of Wrightstown, Newtown, and the surrounding areas of Bucks County.
We all know what it takes to be healthy (eating the right foods, exercising, and managing stress). However, the tough part is actually doing these things. In this fast-paced, technologically-driven, sedentary society, health is often overlooked until there is a problem.
Statistically, America has more doctors, nurses, medicine, surgeries, the best technology and the highest healthcare expenditure worldwide.
However, it ranks among the lowest in health statistics compared to the rest of the world. The mentality that true health comes from a miracle pill or some "life-changing" gimmick is why our health care system is failing.
In reality, true health comes from within.
It's having an awareness of making the right decisions and having accountability for those actions. Wrightstown Health and Fitness chiropractors take both of these responsibilities very seriously in their practice. Working together with the medical community, their mission is to provide a structured, innovative, modern-day approach to help patients improve their overall quality of life without adding anything unnaturally to the body or subtracting anything unnecessarily from the body.
Quality Chiropractic Care
Sickness, disease, and dysfunction of the human body can be attributed to 3 primary causes: physical stress, chemical stress, and emotional stress.
In other words, our physical activities, diet and mindset greatly affect how we perform, feel and function.
At any given time we can be overwhelmed or lacking in one, if not all, of the three aforementioned categories.
A symptom, like pain, is a signal of when the body has become overwhelmed by one of these stressors. Physical stress can cause pain, but so can chemical and/or emotional stress by its inflammatory effects on the body. This is a fact most people do not take into account when dealing with symptoms. Addressing the cause of the problem rather than just the symptom has been a great foundation to build on and has served as a more effective plan when helping Dr. Pat's patients. This form of chiropractic care is simply a safe, effective, and natural solution for allowing the body to heal without reliance on medication or surgery.
We work closely with WHF's highly competent Licensed Massage Therapists as we know that relaxed muscles result in more effective and more lasting adjustments.
Both teams of practitioners have extensive experience in treating conditions such as lower back pain, tight hips, sciatica, neck pain and nerve pain and we find this synergistic approach to be twice as effective. Many personal training clients also benefit from our adjustments in the form of improved performance in their workouts.

Yin Yoga
Yin is a very passive yoga practice that targets the deeper connective tissues of the body such as fascia, ligaments, and joints. It's slower and more meditative, giving you space to turn inward and tune into both your mind and the physical sensations of the body. Holding poses for longer periods of time is what allows this practice to target these rarely used tissues while also teaching us how to breathe through discomfort and sit with our thoughts. Based on ancient Chinese philosophies it is believed that these longer held postures help to open and release any stuck energy (Qi) within the body allowing it to flow freely. Benefits may include, lengthening connective tissue, Increased flexibility, a boost in circulation and a reduction in stress levels. It is an amazing compliment to any movement, athletic or strength based practice. (Thursdays 6 pm - 7 pm)
Slow Flow
Slow flow is all about slowing down and concentrating on your mind-body connection. There is more time between transitions and a slower pace than typically vinyasa flow. Slow flow yoga still helps you improve mindfulness, breathwork, flexibility, balance, and strength, but it does so in a less intensive way than other styles. With a gentle warm up, synchronization of breath and movement, and easy incorporation of props and modifications, slow flow is appropriate for all ages and experiences levels.

Extractions are often performed as part of a facial. Most clients that need extractions during each facial are due to Comedones (blackheads), which are the most common reason for extraction.
