I invite you to experience the unique whole body experience of therapeutic massage which goes beyond the Swedish massage or spa massage experience. My mission is to provide you with the highest quality therapeutic experience from first contact.
I will use a variety of therapeutic massage and rehabilitative solutions that will facilitate you in leading an active life with more energy, greater health, less pain and less stress.
Therapeutic Massage uses principles of relaxation combined with a whole body therapeutic hands-on treatment to address specific bodily injuries and chronic pain patterns that affect our comfort and quality of life every day.
Serving the Metropolitan D.C. area, close to Dupont Circle and Farragut Metro stops, Amanda Donis Massage Therapy is located in the office of Dr. Elliott J. Alpher, Metropolitan Area Craniofacial Pain Center.
I first came to Amanda Donis after pulling a hamstring muscle while running through the Atlanta airport after a flight cancellation in heels, pulling a roller bag and carrying a heavy briefcase. Overuse injuries and six resulting surgeries forced me to stop running for years. However, I was able to begin running again in January 2007 – from 1 to 1 ½ hours per session Amanda Donis analyzed the injury and determined it was probably sciatica (pain in lower buttocks and hamstring, radiating down to the calf muscle). I like the techniques Amanda Donis uses because they quickly and completely healed the injury and gave me an ongoing toolkit of stretches to implement on a regular basis to keep my body in balance. Amanda Donis has been able to address and fix the aches and pains in my body. It has enabled me to return to running 1 to 1 ½ hours per session. Even more important, her efforts have improved my quality of life by reducing and even eliminating the aches and pains in my neck and back. Amanda’s arsenal of therapeutic massage, Total Motion Release stretches and natural healing remedies is awesome. I highly recommend Amanda Donis to those who are ready to fix their injuries and improve their quality of life.
