About Me

Gael Valiots, RMT, NSCA-CPT
I have been in the fitness industry since 1992 and have always loved coaching and pushing people to become their physical best. My desire to become a Massage Therapist came from wanting to have a more "hands on" knowledge of the human body and how this "machine" deals with the stresses placed upon it through exercise, work and daily living. It is well known that our bodies recover quicker from exercise, stress and competition with the help of, good nutrition, stretching, therapeutic massage and other healthy lifestyle choices. I want this formula to be more accessible by teaming up with FITT Gym and Personal Training Studio to provide on site therapeutic massage and bring awareness to both the physical and mental benefits of massage therapy and exercise.

Research

Research has shown that massage can be effective treatment for headaches, chronic pain, stress, limited mobility, pregnancy, athletic performance, chronic tension and many other common problems. It has even been shown to increase the formation of dendrites in the brain! In other words, your brain grows when you receive massage! Massage also decreases the stress hormones in the body, resulting in slower aging, better nutritional absorption, decreased blood pressure, and a more peaceful state of being.
