Pamela Joy Pontone

Specialties

I specialize in Swedish Massage, Deep Tissue Massage, Reflexology, Sports Massage, Medical Massage and Aromatherapy, & Cranio Sacral. I also specialize Myofascial work, and I am Certified in Prenatal Massage. I often incorporate aromatherapy in my work and may also utilize some gentle energy work and even sports taping to deepen the effects of the massage.

I enjoy doing structural evaluations of the client and using sports massage techniques for those who are athletes or have suffered from repetitive strain ex-​from working at a keyboard for long hours or having to work on your feet for long periods and injuring your ankle or knees.

I emphasize speaking with clients before and after the massage to help them to understand my observations of their muscles and holding patterns, and of my game plan to help them re encounter their own inner equilibrium, so that pain and imbalances may be diffused and potentially eliminated. Please feel free to write me or call me with any questions. I would be happy to help.

History

Established in 2011.

I began to massage when I was 12 years old after meeting a man who had studied massage under a healer in Mexico. From then on I was enthralled by the healing powers I have encountered on rare occasions by those who know not only the anatomical body but who seem to enter the mind and pains of the person they are healing, so that the person suffering feels as if their healer is there experiencing and understanding their feelings with them.

It is there, through that empathy, that the healer may begin to understand what their client needs, and begin to offer the help the have been seeking.

I received my degree in Massage Therapy from the Eastern based Pacific College of Oriental Medicine, and acquired my certification in Pre and Post Natal Massage in 2013.

I have worked with renowned holistic doctors, chiropractors, and at 5 star hotels and spas throughout New York City, and have studied and incorporated the strengths of the varying perspectives of the human body which I have encountered.

Meet the Business Owner

Pamela P.

Business Owner

I have been working to look at the human body through many different concepts, such as through Chinese Tradictional Medicine, from muscular levels, the theories on the Indian system of Chakras, as well as general palpable energetic levels, to understand how chronic conditions may effects one’s muscular holding patterns, as well as how current stresses in one’s life and environment may contribute to physical injuries or strains.

I have found that all variables in one’s life effect the pain levels which are endured and held within muscle and that these issues if not addressed may lead to physical inflexibility or rigidity and a lack of circulation.

In my massage therapy work, I make efforts to understand the timeline of my clients’ bodies, and to work through it to uncover the root cause/​s of whatever restrictions they are currently experiencing, so that pain may be reduced and/​or eliminated.
