Brighton, NY Spa and Massage

Shortly after earning his license to practice massage therapy, Todd DeKramer started working in a chiropractic clinic—an experience that would eventually lead to his specialization in pain management. Todd had been interested in the field since his days as a pitcher for Monmouth University, where he gained a firsthand understanding of athletic injuries and was introduced to some of the same sports-therapy treatments that he practices today.

As the therapist behind Rochester On-Site Massage, Todd travels to locations throughout the city to alleviate aches with onsite chair massages that begin with relaxing Swedish strokes and culminate in quick kneads. His couples massage classes teach pairs to solve their differences with relaxing strokes or firm—perhaps too firm—deep-tissue pressure.

Newly opened Charming Salon & Spa serves as an oasis away from stress by treating clients to pampering beautifying services. Aestheticians lather façades with rejuvenating, cleansing products during signature facials, or stylists snip locks and twist strands into fashionable curls. As digits repose in an indulgent soak, a skilled staffer eases tension from the muscles in the face, neck, and shoulders with a relaxing massage and convincing argument about why every day should be Friday.

LifeSpa and Salon is a full-service spa and salon located inside select Life Time Fitness centers.

For more than 20 years, the beauty specialists at Spatique Salon have helped to bolster clients' outer beauty. Nail maintainers buff and trim finger caps, and wax technicians remove unwanted bikini stubble or remaining evidence of one's werewolf heritage. Experienced hairstylists mold unruly manes into trendy configurations through style sessions preceded by soothing shampoo soaks, and airbrush-tan artists bronze physiques to a custom hue without UV-ray exposure.

A 1997 graduate of Finger Lakes School of Massage, licensed massage therapist Peter T. Mugnolo draws from his extensive experience, using a variety of therapeutic modalities and holistic techniques to craft custom healing treatments. Peter tailors his massages to soothe whatever ails each guest by employing various strokes from the Swedish, deep-tissue, shiatsu, and cranial-sacral massage techniques he specializes in. The kneader also applies his experience as a lifelong percussionist to the sessions, lending massages a lulling rhythm and entertaining patrons with air-cymbal solos.

After a 36-year career at Kodak and a subsequent attempt at retirement, Andy Arnold returned to school and became a licensed massage therapist to help others rest and relax. Today, Arnold brings over 20 years of bodywork experience to his massage sessions, which take place amid the lilac walls of Katherine’s Therapeutic Massage. Andy also caters to the elderly with his specialization in geriatric massage and his paranormal ability to sense the birthdays of grandchildren without consulting a calendar.
