Donna Bellofatto

BACKGROUND

After graduating from Healing Hands Massage Therapy School in 2005 I worked as a Licensed Massage Therapist in a variety of settings such as chiropractic, gym and day spa. Although I enjoyed the diversity of the work, the experience I gained from each, my true passion is working in my own private therapeutic massage practice.
 
LIVING THE DREAM!

Currently,  I am working with a variety of clients, including local Elite Athletes (Ironman triathletes, marathon runners, world class swimmers) as well as local Jr. Athletes (football, lacross, swimmers, runners) and various other athletes along with clients with chronic conditions such as: Fibromyalgia, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and lastly with clients in conjunction to physical therapy/rehab from surgery specifically knee & shoulder.
 
SPECIALTIES

I specialize in treating muscular problems such as as neck pain, rotator cuff issues, frozen shoulder, tennis/golfers elbow, lower back pain, sciatica/piriformis syndrome, plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinitis and tight muscles in general by using a combination of soft tissue techniques such as deep tissue or therapeutic massage, myofascial release, soft tissue mobilization, and cross friction massage, stretching, and trigger point therapy along with hot/cold stone for contrast therapy to achieve optimal results.
