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 a top notch massage therapist – he is extremely knowledge about the science behind massage therapy and acupuncture as well as the psychological and physical benefits. I had chronic sciatic pain in my gluteal for 8 months, any time I would sit down I got significant pain, impacting school, work, and my exercise regimen – with acupuncture and massage therapy Alfie was able to eradicate that pain for me! Alfie provides a lot of education during the sessions, helping the patient to understand the source of their pain and their body better. Would highly recommend!

September 4, 2016I 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, 2018I had scar tissue damage in my arm, which limited my mobility for a few months. After two sessions, I’m almost 100% recovered. The owners of the business are very friendly and really care about your recovery.

September 4, 2020Alfie 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.
Tristan Hobbs
May 4, 2025I 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.
Aslamiya Mohamed
September 4, 2024I went to Alfie over 4 years ago (at his previous clinic) and again more recently. He’s so precise and accurate, and has pin pointed cause of my back and arm pains. His style is deep tissue massage, which I like but at times it can be painful – luckily he is very careful and is a great conversationalist and will keep your mind distracted to minimize the pain. Thanks Alfie!
Connie Kim
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.
