At Camillus Massage Therapy, we pride ourselves on being the premier stop in Central New York for exceptional massage services. We are not a spa or salon. We are not going to try to pamper you with essential oils and facials and jacuzzi tubs. We are going to offer to you a staff of professionals with a vast array of talents and specialties in order to provide you with just what you need. Whether you are suffering from chronic pain, coping with a recent injury, looking to improve athletic performance, or simply need to escape from the rigors of a hectic schedule, Camillus Massage Therapy has the perfect session waiting for you.
Coincidentally, Inside Edge is located inside Edge Strength and Conditioning in the city of Syracuse. At Inside Edge, our staff offers mix of Kinesiology, Yoga, and Sports Massage to aid athletes in performance and recovery.
Read MoreWe have officially opened our first Partners Medical Massage location. The office is inside Achieve Physical Therapy & Aquatic Center in Syracuse, near the Western Lights Wegmans. Partners Medical Massage is a venture designed to put the massage modality in close proximity to medical providers offering supplementary services. This creates a comprehensive care situation for the patient/client.
Read MoreBeginning in 2018, we are starting a venture where we partner with salons to offer massage services within their location. The first of these is Marny & Co in Baldwinsville, NY. Marny and her staff have been referring their clients to us for some time, so the partnership makes all the sense in the world.
More InfoCamillus Massage Therapy stands apart from most massage offices in that it puts the focus on physical well-being above aesthetic appeal or shared services. We are not a wellness center looking to coerce you into several varied holistic services, nor are we a spa or salon in which beauty comes before pain management or athletic performance. People come to Camillus Massage Therapy to feel better, physically and emotionally.
Opened and operated by Christopher Hess, LMT, Camillus Massage Therapy has brought together very talented Licensed Massage Therapists with varied approaches to soft tissue manipulation. For those clients with emotional or spiritual needs beyond massage, we also offer private yoga and reiki sessions on site. We use an integrated approach to address the individual needs of our clients. Whether you have been injured in a car accident, suffer from chronic migraines, or are an aspiring triathlete, we will design a treatment plan to suit your specific needs..
I have been blessed to have found Camillus Massage Therapy. I see Chris every two weeks now and the therapeutic work he has done on me, has been outstanding. I have a total of seven herniated discs in my back and neck and will undergo surgery on my back in November of 2014. Additionally, I have stenosis of my discs, Fibromyalgia, arthritis and am almost always in terrible pain, in spite of being pretty fit. Their facility is very simply decorated, immaculate and in short - just what I was looking for! I have been getting professional massage for over 20 years now and I have been fortunate to have had some great therapists along the way - but Chris is hands down the best for my needs. He combines a great combination of deep-tissue, assisted stretching and relaxation/breathing work. I will absolutely NEVER go anyplace else against a massage...
I have suffered for many years with back, neck and shoulder pain with Fibromyalgia to top it all off. Three fusions and four shoulder surgeries in six years has been a long, painful road. Today was my first massage with Chris, it definitely won't be my last. I feel amazing! I have had massages before, but none as thorough as he performed. His expertise and knowledge is impeccable. I would recommend him to anyone looking for relief.
I have fibromyalgia and degeneration of the spine and neck, along with some arthritis...(I know right!) Anyway, I went to see Chris after he reached out to me about an article I posted on facebook about fibro. I have been to other massage therapists, all great people!!! But I have to say, Chris is pretty amazing!!! He was very informative about my problem areas and in general; informative about treatment. I feel SO much better!!! Thank you Chris!!! See you soon!!!
I work at a job where I do alot of bending and lifting and looking down which really puts stress on my back and especially my neck. I've had 3 visits with Chris now and I feel absolutely amazing. I've been waking up with headaches alot lately and after my most recent massage with Chris I am waking up feeling relaxed and refreshed with no headaches. I definently recommend you go to camillus massage therapy Chris is amazing at his job!
Great massage in a comfortable setting. This establishment has a small but inviting waiting area. My massage therapist was Renee. I was taken to one of three very intimate and relaxing therapy rooms. Decor was tasteful yet subtle. The music and lighting were both very calming. My massage therapist Renee had great technique, and gave me a wonderful, relaxing one hour massage. Perfect way to spend a lazy Sunday afternoon!
At Camillus Massage Therapy, our goal is to provide those services our clients need to feel better without diluting the process with unneeded frill. In our office, you should expect to receive a massage of exceptional quality. You should not expect to find hot stones, paraffin dip, microderm abrasion or other facial services. Our goal is to work the issues that ail you. Nothing more, nothing less. We also do not scale the cost of our services. In other words, a swedish massage has the same cost as an orthopedic massage. It makes no difference whether you are coming for stress reduction or athletic recovery, our goal is to satisfy your needs, not gouge you for providing deeper work. You will find our rates are slightly lower than the industry standard. There is a good reason for that. We have organized the business to keep costs down, for example, having a receptionist only part time. We have also now partnered with TulA Yoga to offer individualized, one on one, yoga instruction. Yoga can benefit everyone, but not everyone feels ready to step onto a mat in a class setting. This is where one-on-one sessions can be hugely beneficial. Attention is paid to the unique mental, emotional and physical states of the individual utilizing postures, breathing, concentration and meditation. Whether you are new to yoga or looking to advance your practice, personalized private yoga can be an integrative part of your overall optimal health. Yoga is therapeutic for the body, the mind and the soul. No matter where you are on our journey, this ancient practice guides us to a balanced state. Be where you are and yoga will find you there.
Below is just some of the questions we get asked on a regular basis. If your question is not listed here, feel free to give us a call or email us.
The quick answer is no. While some premier insurance policies do offer a rider for massage therapy, their rules for payment make it impossible for us to bill. We can, however, provide you detailed notes and a statement of charges so you can submit to your insurance company for reimbursement.
If you have a Flexible Spending Account or Health Savings Account, you can use that to pay for your massage services at Camillus Massage and Inside Edge Sports Massage if you have your debit card with you. If you do not have a card, we can provide you a detailed billing statement to submit to your insurance carrier for reimbursement.
No. At Camillus Massage and Inside Edge, we provide high quality, professional body work. We do not offer facials, hot stones, waxing, or any other associated services. We do not mean to diminish the value of those services to people seeking them, we are simply not in that business.
Generally, no. In a very rare instance, a therapist may be at the office and not with a client. For example, if a client was a no show, or if there was a small gap between clients. We do not employ a receptionist, which makes greeting walk-ins impossible. We can, however, very often provide same day appoints. Check our schedule page to see what is available.
We can provide travel services to clients in select situations. Each request is subject to authorization by the owner. In the event of it being authorized, there is a $25 travel charge added to the cost of the massage.
Absolutely. Packages are available for massages of 60 min or longer and are a Buy Five, Get One Free. There are some times, generally around holidays, when we offer different short term options. Be sure to follow us on social media to be aware of these specials.
