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:
I’m a college student and I was referred to Vente Pain Relief Clinic. I’ve been dealing with chronic neck & jaw pain for a couple years now and I’ve seen amazing results thanks to Alfie’s deep tissue massage therapy. Before seeing Alfie I would go for monthly massage therapy treatments but nothing seemed to help. Not only is Alfie’s treatment and technique helpful but he is also very kind and professional. I highly recommend Vente Pain Relief Clinic!

September 4, 2018As 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)

September 4, 2015I had pain my my scapula and neck for years until I met Alfie. He’s been able to help me reduce all chronic pain and has even helped increase mobility in other areas of my body that were suffering. It’s no walk in the park, but the results are real.

September 4, 2024I started seeing Alfie before running a marathon in the fall as I was experiencing pain in sides of my legs from all the training. Alfie alleviated the root issues of my tight muscles which allowed me to stick with my training plan and exceed my time goal for the marathon. I have since continued to work with Alfie to help keep my muscle loose and ensure I am able to run pain free for years to come.

September 4, 2024I first went to see Alfie on the recommendation of my physio therapist because of shoulder pain. Alfie is incredibly knowledgable about the body and how it all works together and was able to both determine the cause and fix it. We are now continuing to work on my back and legs. Who knew I had so many knots that need to be released! I feel so much better.
Be prepared for an intense massage and also to learn a lot about your body and how everything connects. Merie-Anne Beavis
September 4, 2016I have had two crushing injuries to my feet and an injury to my left side that caused severe muscle pain throughout my left leg, side and shoulder. Alfie knew how and where to help relieve the muscle pain through acupuncture and deep tissue massage and recommended a physio to support the mechanical injury. Now I am running again, but keep going to Vente to ensure my muscles stay pain free. Another 10k may be in my future… thanks Alfie.

September 4, 2016Alfie 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, 2021I can not say enough good things about Alfie. He has a natural talent and instinct for getting to the root of, and treating pain that is uncanny. With his wife Sandra manning the phones every session is pleasant from booking to end. Alfie’s expert grasp of anatomy and innate talent and focus get results every time. I highly recommend Alfie as someone that can find the cause of what is troubling you with results immediately.
