Jessica J. Proia, Owner & L.M.T.

After practicing  massage therapy independently since 2002, I have established Urban Escape in 2006. It has always been my goal to provide an atmosphere & sessions where my clients can feel completely comfortable & relaxed. I have found it most effective to create customized massage sessions for each client & their own individual needs. Several massage modalities are combined in a session as opposed to a choice of only one.I feel that it's my job as a licensed massage therapist to listen to the client & to have the training & intuition to meet the client's needs, using the proper techniques & pressure.  I believe in treating the body as a whole, not a quick fix or work that is fragmentary. I think it's important to learn new methodologies & I am constantly working on upgrading my business & service. My clients are very important to me & I'm always excited to meet & take care of new clients.

additional information

What is a Customized Massage?

  • No two bodies are the same. This is why I customize every session for each client & their own individual needs. Rather than offering a choice of only one massage type, I combine several different massage modalities into one session. Multiple techniques are utilized for each client, always with the goals of inducing deep relaxation, loosening the muscles & increasing flexibility.
  • This is where the different massage types are utilized in phases as they serve different purposes. These goals are most effectively achieved through a longer session, slowly working into the muscle layers, always warming up & smoothing out any deep work.
  • Fewer clients are scheduled to provide the highest quality service. More time & attention is to be expected. Clients should leave feeling a noticeable improvement that should continue to last.


What to Expect

  • BioMat Therapy, the entire session will be performed on a BioMat, an FDA licensed medical device that combines Far Infrared light & Negative Ion technology with the Healing power of Amethyst Crystals.  Just lying on the BioMat promotes a feeling of well being for a healthier mind and body.
  • A Private , Professional Setting
  • A Thorough Consultation. There will be no talking during massage. All needs and preferences will be discussed  before the massage, rather than during.
  • Alone Time before the massage to decompress & enjoy  the BioMat, Hot Towels , Heated, Herbal Neck & Eye Pillows,  Vibroacoustic Therapy & Therapeutic Grade Aromatherapy. 
  • Multiple Massage Modalities are utilized to provide the most effective results 
  • All Muscle Groups will Receive Thorough Attention  & the pressure will deepen as the muscles loosen
  • Mental & Physical Relief During & After the Session with an overall sense of well being 
  • Respect For Your Privacy ,conservative, professional draping will be utilized throughout the entire session. 

Testimonials

  • RYAN HURST-ACTOR "Jessica was my massage therapist when I lived in Pittsburgh to work on a television series. I have a physically demanding profession that requires therapeutic and restorative bodywork. As someone who has had years of experience with receiving massage therapy, I could recognize that she truly has a gift. I immediately  noticed a significant improvement  and after having regular sessions I continued to feel even better on a daily basis. Jessica is a healer and a highly skilled professional who takes a great deal of pride in her work. Her massages are as relaxing as they are effective and are highly recommended!"
  • MATT SPAETH- (former player) PITTSBURGH STEELERS, CHICAGO BEARS "As an NFL player, my weekly exercise regimen is intense & the contact in games can take it's toll on my body. I have tried numerous sports & deep tissue massages & Jessica Proia has really been able to recharge my body & keep me on the field. Working with Jessica has helped me to recover quicker & I've noticed I'm less sore after games & workouts.  I highly recommend Jessica Proia & the professional services she provides."
  • CLARK HAGGANS- (former player) PITTSBURGH STEELERS, ARIZONA CARDINALS SAN FRANSISCO 49ERS  "As a professional athlete my body needs to be finely tuned. I've received weekly sessions from Jessica & couldn't ask for anything better for my body. Not only does she spend the sufficient amount of time stretching me but the quality of every phase in her customized routines is absolutely the best that I've ever had in my 10 years of sports. Jessica's part in my life has made me a better athlete & a more relaxed person in all phases of my life."
  • ROY FARFEL- STUNT MAN"As a professional stunt man for close to 30 years, you can only imagine what abuse my body has gone through. I don't think that there is ever a time when my body isn't injury free. After spending a significant amount of time of stretching & massaging, Jessica had relieved me of the pain & spasms of my neck & shoulders. By far she is the best that I ever had. The only regret that I have is that I wish I lived closer!"
  • KALI D. ARNOLD-M.D. " I wanted to express what a joy it has been having Jessica Proia as a massage therapist. It is apparent that she has a genuine gift & love for what she does. As an orthopedic surgeon, I can honestly say that Jessica has a true understanding of the human anatomy which aids in her massage treatments. I look forward to having more sessions with her and have recommended her to many of my colleagues."
