Massage Therapy is a manipulation of muscle tissue in order to increase circulation, promote full body relaxation and loosen and release muscle tension. Almost everybody can benefit from massage, whether addressing specific injuries, increasing athletic performance, or seeking general relaxation. An effective massage can be performed with varying depth, depending on the client's needs and preferences.
Talya Solomon has been serving the Pioneer Valley since 1998. She trained at the Stillpoint School for massage and is nationally certified and locally licensed. In addtion to her private practice Talya offers massage for seniors once a week at the Amherst Community Center. For events and organizations, onsite seated massage can be arranged.
As the best-known type of massage performed today, Swedish Massage relaxes the entire body by rubbing the muscles with long gliding strokes in the direction of blood returning to the heart. In Swedish Massage, the therapist will apply massage oil to your skin to facilitate various massage strokes, including the smooth gliding stroke called effleurage to lengthen muscles and increase circulation.
If you have never experienced this unique indulgence, you owe yourself this exquisite moment. Hot Stone Massage involves the application of water-heated basalt stones of varying sizes placed on key points of the body, giving a deep grounding massage and creating sensations of comfort and warmth.

Hot stones are placed strategically on the body in preporation for massage while other hot stones of different shapes, sizes and textures are used as massage tools to create a customized treatment tailored to meet your needs.Stretching and heat are used to loosen joints, reduce muscle tension and enhance penetration, relaxation and grounding.
This kind of massage helps loosen muscle tissues, release toxins from muscles and get blood and oxygen circulating. Deep Tissue Massage is designed to relieve tension by penetrating deep into the muscle and the connective tissue layers or fascia.

This type of massage therapy is often recommended for individuals who experience consistent pain, are involved in heavy physical activity (such as athletes), and clients who have sustained physical injury.Pressure tolerence is different for each individual so it is always important to check in with the therapist.

I was impressed with the skill with which Talya alleviated the tightness in my decades-old sore neck and back. I haven't wanted to spend the money on a professional massage in a long time telling myself I can do without but I now feel much better. I would recommend it to anyone.

As a full-time doctoral student, I consider my massages with Talya one of the best investments that I have made in self-care since coming to Amherst. She is friendly and professional and her space is very relaxing. The time that she spends working out all my tension spots is amazing.

Talya is a gifted and outstanding massage therapist. I'd only received massages very occasionally in the past but find my massages with Talya so beneficial that I've made it a regular practice since my first visit several months ago. Talya's massages are not merely relaxing, they are therapeutic. For example, I had a lingering pain in my elbow that I was pretty sure was tendonitis but after a session with Talya it disappeared. Her space is clean and comfortable and Talya takes her Covid precautions seriously, which I find reassuring. Talya has my highest recommendation.

Talya is the best massage therapist I have encountered. She is highly professional, always pleasant, and thoroughly knowledgable about her skills.I have turned to her for help repeatedly over a twenty year period, whenever I have had issues with injuries or pain associated with a chronic illness. Most recently she managed to soothe neck pain following an accident. Talya always gives the impression of taking genuine satisfaction in her profession and in solving problems. I find the atmosphere she creates in her spacious and spotless massage room to be calming, restorative and deeply relaxing. The

I have been a client with Talya for 13 years. She is highly skilled and very competent. As a Licensed Massage Therapist, I recognize her ease with varying techniques and attention to detail. Her massages are methodical and professional, with extreme attention to detail and the ability to vary the pressure as needed. She is always "present" and never mechanical, with assured hands that allow for prompt relaxation. I recommend her without reservation.

I am lucky to have found Talya many years ago and have had frequent massages with her since then. She is very skilled at what she does and I can feel the tension melting away while she works on me. These massages are each a little different but all are terrific; they have become an important part of my life.

The massage was very relaxing. It was cold the day I went, but the room and table where nice and warm. Talya made sure the temperature was to my preference and offered any bit of change to keep comfort levels just right. She also took COVID protocol seriously, ensuring a safe and pleasant visit.
