All too often we ignore our bodies. Maybe it starts with a minor ache or some stiffness in the body somewhere. After ignoring it for so long, it turns into a nagging pain that seems as though it impacts everything else in your life too. This is your body telling you that something is wrong. A majority of the time, these symptoms can be relieved using therapeutic massage. With the cooperation of your primary physician, a massage therapist can help alleviate most of these problems. This is where Sarah and James come into the picture. Therapeutic Massage has been used to enhance health for centuries in many cultures around the world. Scientific research even supports the effects of therapeutic massage Chances are good that you perform some kind of repetitive action. This may include something like sitting at a computer desk for your job, commuting to work, lifting kids up time after time, or carrying a heavy purse or backpack daily. Does any of this sound like you? Chances are good that you are holding tension in your body and in need of a good massage! You know it. I would bet that if you were to sit and think about it, you can feel it too. WE want to help you! We use an Integrative Massage to help bring you to a new awareness in your health and well-being. Using techniques from classic massage modalities, we may also intertwine Myofascial Release techniques, some stretching and maybe some Essential Oils or energy work into your massage. James tends to work slower than what you may be used to, but can also find those spots that you were unaware of. Sarah tailors each massage to each client, integrating any and all of her tools into every massage that she gives. We listen with our hands as to what you and your body are telling us. Your aches and your pains. Then we let our hands find the real issues. We aren't interested in selling you products that we feel you don't need or won't use. We will suggest certain products or product lines, however we aren't in this to sell retail. We will use them if you and your body are calling for them but won't charge you extra for it. We firmly believe in a "client focused" session and strive to provide the best service we can to you at a fair and reasonable price. Whether you struggle to get out of bed in the mornings, wish you could find pain relief without taking a bunch of pills, strive for a healthier body, or you just long for that relaxing feeling you get after you just received a great massage. We believe that therapeutic massage can help you in more ways than you could ever imagine. We look forward to working with you and your body!
I went to Sara with Sciatica issues in my leg and after one session it felt a lot better. She gave me some exercises to do everyday till my next appointment.
Great focus on individual needs and a very personalized massage!
Also feel comfortable going to Axiom
Very beautiful, peaceful, and calming
They only thing I could even remotely say to improve is to somehow add more sound proofing between massage rooms. When I was there, I could hear a man next door quite clearly explaining how his injury happened.
Love love love them
Amazing job. On time, communicated through the process to resolve the pain I was having
The space is calm, warm and inviting. You feel comfortable from the moment you enter!
I always leave Axiom feeling better. My mind slows down and I'm able to relax. I would recommend anyone thinking about getting a massage to try it and not just once, you should go repeatedly to get the complete experience of what is offered here. A massage is a necessity in order to keep your body aligned and working at its peak. You take your vehicle in for routine maintenance to avoid major damage, why wouldn't you take your body in? I know you can buy a new car when one breaks down due to neglect but can you get a new body if the one you have breaks down? Think about that.
Very easy to find and wonderful ambiance. Sarah is welcoming, she made me feel comfortable and relaxed immediately.
Sarah took time to research and address my specific body’s needs and the injury I’m working through. She was very knowledgeable and explained the techniques she was using on me.

James gave me a two hour massage! Pressure was just right and he checked in a few times to make sure that I was comfortable. His hands are very warm, so it is like getting a hot stone massage without the hot stones. Which makes it easy to relax during trigger points, deep tissue work and MFR stretches/releases. James has a calm and safe presence about him. I felt comfortable to let go and allow the treatment to flow. I highly recommend James, his skills and knowledge are truly reflected in his work!

James gave a great massage utilizing several different techniques to address my chronic pain issues. I was drawn to his bio when searching for a massage therapist because he deals with his own pain management. James was great because he understood my condition from both sides - what it feels like and how to address it. James took a lot of time to ask questions and understand my needs. He was very professional and very kind and I highly recommend him!

I do believe axiom is over priced since you can go anywhere in buffalo and surrounding areas and have a 60 min massage for $60 or less
Business response:
We are fully confident in our pricing as it refects our value and expertise as therapists. Yes, you can get a massage else where in town at a lower price. What we offer is different and a 90 minute massage is hard work. You get your full time on the table, before and after discussion time with your therapist, self care homework, plus our continued education and knowledge.
