Massage Types

Swedish Massage

A system of long strokes, kneading and friction techniques on the more superficial layers of the muscles, combined with active and passive movements of the joints. The most common form of massage used to promote general relaxation, improve circulation and easy everyday aches and pains.

Trigger Point

Also known as Myotherapy or Neuromuscular Therapy, this massage applies concentrated pressure to “trigger points” (painful irritated areas in the muscle) to break cycles of spasm and pain.

Deep Tissue

This massage releases the chronic patterns of tension in the body through slow strokes and deep finger pressure on the contracted areas. The focus is on the deeper layers of muscle tissue.

Sports Massages

Maintain that winning edge with our line of sport massages. Whether you are a serious athlete or just trying to get in shape, a sports massage can help you recover faster and prevent injuries.

Restorative Massage

This massage is perfect for runners or cyclists training for a race. This restorative massage will allow you to recover faster and train harder with less injury.

Pre-event Massage

A short, stimulating massage 15-45 minutes before your big event. It is directed toward the parts of your body that will be involved in the exertion.

Post-event Massage

Given within an hour or two of the event it helps to normalize the body’s tissue.

Cheryl Siniakin

Cheryl Siniakin is a PA licensed massage therapist (LMT) and holds Board Certification in Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork (BCTMB). 
In 1976, Cheryl was a member of the JCC (then located in Oakland) and there received three massages a week. One day while lying on the massage table waiting for her massage, Selma, her massage therapist, told her that the JCC needed another massage therapist. She recounts Selma saying, “Get off my table, and we’ll train you.”
Well, Cheryl did, and at that moment, she began her massage therapy journey now spanning 50 years.
In 1985, she completed a formal program of study at the Ozark Life Center School of Therapy Technology in Fayetteville, AR completing 1,260 state accredited hours, tested for, and granted a license to practice massage therapy.
While in private practice, Cheryl completed undergraduate and graduate degree programs, authored and directed an Associate in Science degree-massage therapy program, taught massage therapy, participated in countless continuing education courses. Always to enhance her awareness of and sensitivity to the mind-body connection.
Working at the JCC brings Cheryl full circle. She does not believe in ‘no pain, no gain’. As a massage therapist, she provides a space for her clients to become more aware of where they hold their tension as they relax back into themselves.

Ashley Barvinchak is a 2017 graduate of The Pittsburgh School of Massage Therapy. Despite interest in massage therapy as a senior in high school, she took a different path that landed her at Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh in 2014. It was there that she rediscovered her desire to help people, but not in a hectic clinical setting. This led her back to her initial interest, massage therapy. She enrolled at the Pittsburgh School of Massage Therapy in 2016 where she found fulfillment with a relaxing backdrop to help people in a therapeutic and holistic way. Ashley specializes in Myofascial and Neuromuscular Therapy (TrP work). She is also certified in hot stones and prenatal.
