AMANDA RODGERS
Registered Massage Therapist
​
Amanda Rodgers, RMT, combines stretching, deep tissue and trigger point techniques in all of her treatments. She believes in collaborative care with the client, to restore function and mobility.
​
Amanda's physical therapy practice is strongly influenced by looking at the body as one whole unit. It means more to her than noticing how one body part aligns or misaligns with the rest. It is mindfully assessing all the many details of your current situation, certain pain points, and designing a treatment plan that meets you where you are. Amanda has a passion for working through goals with clients, whether that is recovering from acute or chronic pain, a sports-related injury, neurological pathologies; or postural imbalances.
​
Amanda's aim is to help each person achieve their greatest potential for function, health and wellness using body awareness education. Her style of massage combines stretching, deep tissue and trigger point techniques. A variety of assessment tools, stretching, massage techniques and custom treatment plans are used to assist in achieving treatment goals.

ALYSSA FAIOLA
Certified Personal Trainer​
​
Alyssa Faiola is a Personal Trainer with a passion for all things fitness with her primary focus being on strength training and functional movements that translate outside the gym. Alyssa grew up playing sports and was active throughout her adolescent years engaging in competitive dance and rep soccer. After graduating from the University of
Western Ontario with a degree in Criminology, Alyssa found herself craving a sense of routine where physical activity could be used as an outlet to decompress from the stresses of everyday life. After joining her local gym, Alyssa found herself without a plan and not knowing how to use the equipment and machines available to her. Alyssa signed up for small group training, specifically aimed at exposing women of all ages to
strength training and the benefits of this type of movement.
Alyssa has been consistently engaged in this training style since 2016 and in 2020, found herself wanting to share her passion for fitness with others. Alyssa obtained a Group Fitness Instructor Certification and facilitated workouts both online and in person. She has recently transitioned into focusing her efforts on Personal Training and is excited to engage with residents of South Beach who are looking to start their fitness journey or elevate their current exercise routine. Alyssa is especially passionate about motivating and encouraging women to embrace their strongest version of themselves by not shying away from equipment and forms of
movement typically associated with male body building.
