For many of us, stiffness, pain, and stress are a way of life to which we have habituated. It is not until we receive a massage that we experience a body that can breathe, stand, and move freely without pain. At Advanced Health Massage Therapy, our therapists have extensive knowledge in anatomy, physiology, rehabilitation, and body mechanics that supports advanced massage therapy skills. We take pride in providing a safe and supportive environment with caring and effective therapy based on individual needs.
Our Registered Massage Therapists are fully trained and would be delighted to treat you. Advanced Health is one of the largest and most diverse massage therapy clinics in the Niagara Region.

Amanda Traynor has been a Registered Massage Therapist at Advanced Health Massage Therapy since 2009.

She has since received additional training in Soft Tissue Release, Hot Stone Massage and Kinesiology Taping. She enjoys treating clients of all different health backgrounds and ages and strives to tailor her treatments to the individual needs of each client through open communication and constant feedback.
