Welcome to Vente Pain Relief Clinic! We are Downtown Toronto’s premier deep tissue Massage and fascial therapy clinic.
Our specialty is treating chronic pain stemming from tight muscles and fascia.
Thank you for visiting!
What can deep tissue massage do for you?
Deep tissue massage is an aggressive form of massage. It can free up tight stubborn muscles. “Lighter” massage can be a choice but if the issue is chronic, aggressive work is needed. Deep tissue massage can also access deeper layers of soft-tissue, that can be problematic.
Who generally chooses deep tissue massage?
Typically, those that have had chronic soft-tissue tightness for a long period. This can be weeks to months to some even years. Athletes also choose this style of treatment because of the profound effects it has on the muscles and fascia.
What can treating the fascia do for you?
The fascia is the connective tissue that lies underneath the skin. At times the fascia can become very tight causing pain and discomfort locally. The fascia when it is tight can also cause pain away from the area of tightness. When the fascia loosens, you can find the muscles become significantly looser. Hence, the reason for why the fascia is the baseline for our treatments.
What are some of the conditions you treat?
- Running and athletic injuries such as IT band syndrome
- Muscular imbalances of he pelvis causing pain and discomfort
- Chronic hip and lower back pain
- Neck tightness
- TMD, Jaw pain and discomfort
- Thoracic Outlet Syndrome
- Knee pain
- Shoulder pain and discomfort
- Correct posture and breathing
- Scar tissue treatments to relieve pain and discomfort
What makes the Vente style different?
We understand how difficult it can be to find deep tissue massage in Toronto. We describe our treatment style as deliberate, precise, sequenced and very, very targeted. There is a method to the madness. The treatment is specifically crafted for your particular condition. We also take the time to address structures based on how tight the area is. What this means is that it can take 15-45 minutes to relax certain structures. Time allotted is an important aspect to the treatment. There definitely is a certain level of discomfort during treatment but the benefits can outweigh the pain.

What people say about us:
Alfie is very knowledgeable and experienced at what he does. He explains everything in detail and does a great job focusing on the areas where I was in pain the most. His clinic is very professional and I am feeling great!

September 4, 2016I strongly recommend Alfie. Alfie’s skills and knowledge have remedied a number of recurring issues I’ve been dealing with.
Alfie’s deep knowledge allows him to quickly identify and effectively treat pain.
He is also friendly and a great guy to chat with.

September 4, 2024I was suffering from daily headaches, tension and pain in my upper back – I found myself standing against a wall in meetings, trying to relieve the pain, using foam rollers of all kids and having to roll every night to try and relieve the back pain and headaches.
After one visit to Vente, the headaches were gone and I felt no more discomfort. I was shocked. As the website states, this massage is not about relaxation, or a spa experience -this is a treatment. Alfie is great at letting you know what to expect as he works on you, whethr it’s a burn, zing or tension, you knew what was coming.
I’ve visited many massage therapists, always looking for one that would go deep enough to make a difference. Alfie did just that. Big thank you!!

September 4, 2019Alfie is the best in the biz. Next level deep tissue, you’ll feel like a new person by the time you leave! Him and Sandra create a lovely welcoming environment, I’ve been seeing them for years and it’s always worth it.

May 4, 2025I have been a client of Alfie’s at Vente Pain Relief Clinic for more than 5 years. Alfie really delivers on his promise of pain relief – he is amazing at pinpointing exactly where the real pain source is, and then working the deep tissue to give relief. The post treatment exercises he assigns also provide ongoing maintenance to limit future pain. He is a master at what he does, a true professional and a really nice guy!
Miriam McDermott
September 4, 2021I have had three massage sessions at this clinic and already feel the difference. My symptoms included chronic headaches, neck pain, dizziness, and overall tightness/discomfort in my body. The intensity of my pain has gone from a 13/10 to a 7/10 which for me is a huge difference since I have been dealing with this pain for years with no result. This is not a relaxing massage, it is painful but worth it. Be open to the idea that where you feel pain is not always the source of where your pain is. The receptionist is also very lovely and helpful.

September 4, 2024I went to see Alfie after experiencing crippling tension headaches for over a month. Alfie was able to pin point the problem areas in my back/neck and cured me in 4 treatments! He is very attentive, and takes the time to explain what he is doing. Highly recommend.
Vir Advani
September 4, 2018Alfie is very passionate about healing your pain. My neck was so stiff I could barley move when I went in after just one visit my mobility in my neck greatly improved. He explained why this was happening to me what I can do to prevent this from happening . I will continue to see Alfie and highly recommend his services.

September 4, 2021As a Registered Nurse, Mr Vente’s training assisted in my RN practice tremendously. Mr Vente offered both hands-on face-to-face training that was specific to my nursing practice and the easy-follow video training videos he created provided additional well-rounded instruction with regard to care planning for patients experiencing pain or strain. His training approach was clear, comprehensive and focused on providing best practice. My clinical learning with Mr Vente allowed me to put the latest clinical advances into immediate practice with my patients. // SSC, Registered Nurse & Educator (Toronto)
