What our customers are saying about Massage with...
"As a RN in a stressful NICU (neonatal intensive care unit) I have searched for a massage therapist who will provide a therapeutic, relaxing and serene experience. I found all of that at Aurora Massage and Wellness. By offering a variety of massage techniques, Chris has helped me trust in the healing and relaxation power of massage. Always professional, respectful and attentive to detail sets Chris and Aurora Massage and Wellness "head and shoulders" above the rest."
- Nan Z. - Rochester, NY
"My occupation as a hairdresser leaves me with constant pain in my neck and shoulders. I have seen massage therapists over the last 8 years and I have never experienced a medical massage as good as the one Chris did.
- Susan R. - Utica, NY
"I was never someone who would go for a massage, the thought of a someone giving me a massage just didn't appeal to me! I decided to give it a try when my sister and nieces kept talking about how wonderful they felt afterwards, now I'm hooked! I have been to Chris for a few Swedish massages and can tell you if you plan on getting one, don't plan on doing anything afterwards other then to go straight home and sleep. It is one of the most relaxing massages you will ever have!
However, my true testimonial comes from the other day when I had to make an emergency visit to Chris because I had such a terrible headache that I just couldn't function. I wasn't sure if there was anything he could do, but I remembered reading about his medical massage and deep tissue massage and thought maybe one of them could help. I called the office and Chris was able to fit me in during my lunch. His first concern was for my headache and what could possibly be causing it. We went over my medical history and then he explained what he was going to do and how the massage would help. I walked out of there 30 minutes later with barely a headache (this coming from someone who due to a neck injury has had a constant headache 24/7 for 4 yrs !!). Now I walk in for my appointment, whether its for a medical or Swedish massage, tell Chris to work his magic and walk out feeling like a new person!"
- Amy Z. - Utica, NY
"I had my very first massage with Chris Loboda, and the massage was phenomenal ! I didn't know what to expect and was a bit apprehensive when I first got there, but he quickly put me at ease, and let me know exactly how it was to be done. It was so wonderful and relaxing, and I felt like "Queen For A Day"! I would recommend it to anyone who needs to be pampered, and for those sore, tired, aching muscles. I loved it, and like I told Chris that day......"It may have been my 'first' massage, but it certainly wouldn't be my 'last' !!!"
- Barbara C. - Rome, NY
"I had never heard of a medical massage before last week, I always thought I needed to go to a chiropractor when I pulled a muscle. After I pulled a muscle last week and was unable to attend my training class with Renee, she suggested I talk to Chris.
Chris asked medical questions and even talked about how I sit at work. Chris performed a Medical Massage on me, I had never had any type of massage before. I couldn't believe when he was finished my neck felt so much better, I had more flexibility.
He was very professional, and knowledgeable, he explained about the muscles in the neck area and how they are used. Also explained the stretches I should do at home. I can't wait to return for my Swedish massage. Thanks to Chris I have no more neck discomfort."

What our customers are saying about Personal Training:
"I decided it was time to get into shape. I called and made an appointment with Renee for a consultation for Personal Training. She made me feel so comfortable, explained how the training would help me get into shape. Renee is very knowledgeable with the muscles and how they work. She prepared a workout according to me and my body. She works out with you and makes sure you are positioned correctly, and explains what muscle area you are working. She makes it fun to work out and works at my level.
I would recommend this to anyone needing to get in shape and who needs some help with learning different stretches and workout plans. Thank you Renee."

I made a decision back in January to do the Ride for Missing Children. This is a 100 mile, 12 hour bike ride. After signing up, I started "training" and trying to get into shape to be able to actually complete the ride in May (just 5 short months!). After a week I realized that I had no idea what I was doing and what I should be working on to get into shape for this endeavor.
I had been to Chris several times for Medical and Swedish massages and recalled seeing that they had a personal trainer there as well. I called and spoke with Renee and told her what I needed. We made an appointment to come in for an evaluation. Renee was very professional and we went over exactly what I would need to do to get ready for the ride, she even found information for me on how to prepare for a marathon bike ride and what to do to build my cardio and built part of my training around it.
I was just concentrating on my leg muscles and never gave thought to my arms or back or even the cardio that is needed. Renee and I went over my medical history, I explained that I had an injury to my neck and because of that no upper body strength. Renee built my workout around my injury and put me to work!
After 3 months with Renee (who also works out along side you and explains what each movement is working on and how it will benefit the muscle), I can tell you that I have never felt better. You are re-evaluated at the end of each month to see how you are doing and your exercise routine is built around it. We all know how boring gyms can become because it's always the same machines... same exercises... well Renee adds different things and mixes things up so you don't feel like you are doing the same thing all the time. The exercise routine she put together for me has built my strength back up in my arms and back, I have flexibility again in my neck,arms and legs and my core muscles are much stronger.
I have now completed 2 training rides that take you over 20 miles and throw in a few hills too. Without my cardio training I would never have made it! I have no pain or stiffness afterward because of the stretching routine I was shown to do after I get off the bike.
Thanks Renee.... you have made a huge difference in my daily life and how I feel when I wake up in the morning and get ready to start my day.... with of course... a little stretching first.
- Amy Z. - Utica, NY
I decided I needed a personal trainer to help me with my work out. I worked out but didn't know if it was actually helping me gain the lean muscle mass that I wanted. I was told about Renee and finally mad an appointment.
I was very happy with the program that Renee set up for me. Renee worked out with me 2 times a week and helped me see the posture needed for each exercise and always took the time to explain why I needed to do each type of exercise. I didn't know what to expect because I had never been to a trainer. Renee Put me at ease and was very professional, knowledgeable, and calm at all times which put me at ease.
Thanks Renee!

What our customers are saying about Massage with...
"My name is Kendra and I am 15 yrs old. I have gone to Aurora Massage and
Wellness a couple of times in the past 3 months and Chris has done wonders
for my back pain. Before going to see Chris I had several xrays, an MRI, then
off to physical therapy, not to mention the hot packs, cold packs and all the
muscle relaxers. Someone told my mom about Aurora Massage and Wellness
and I cant believe how much Chris has helped me!
Right after my 1st appointment I had NO pain at all. Chris went over my medical
history, explained what he was going to do and made me feel very comfortable.
The medical massage Chris gave me worked amazing! I go back as needed
when my back starts bothering me and all the pain goes away again! And it never
gets as bad as it was for the year and a half before I went to Chris.
