Welcome to Massage Restoration! I’m Amanda Grindel, PTA, LMT
My mission is to be a positive influence in your wellness journey & reconnect your mind and body through restorative massage and purposeful bodywork for lasting wellness.
​
With over 20 years of experience in bodywork and rehabilitation, I am passionate about helping clients move and feel their best. As a licensed Massage Therapist since 2005 and a Physical Therapist Assistant since 2001, I blend clinical knowledge and holistic wellness to provide a well-rounded approach to healing and performance.
My approach integrates several advanced modalities, including fascia work based on my training with Tom Myers' from Anatomy Trains, cupping therapy through Myofascial Decompression training with Dr. Chris DaPrato, barefoot massage through Deep Feet (Ashiastu) and clinical Thai Bodywork training from the Coaching The Body Institute.
​
Whether you're seeking relief from chronic pain, recovering from an injury, or just looking to optimize your body's movement, I am committed to providing customized care to help achieve your goals. I am passionate about working with all ages, utilizing massage and bodywork as a tool for recovery, performance enhancement, injury prevention or just a good session for relaxation to find that zen zone.
​
Outside of the treatment room, I am a busy mom & married to my biggest supporter. I love weight training, yoga, hiking with my dog Frankie, volleyball, outdoor adventures and travel.
​
Massage can generate healthy minds and provide the opportunity for your body to flourish. I am excited to be a part of your wellness team and look forward to working with you. See you soon!
