Donna Polito, Licensed Massage Therapist (LMT) and Certified Personal Trainer (CPT)
Licensed Massage Therapist and Certified Personal Trainer
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.
