SARATOGA SPRINGS — For over 20 years, Bodywork Professionals owner Nick Pavoldi has been building his business into what it has become today. After spending time training in massage therapy across Florida, Colorado, and even Hawaii, he returned to his home region in Upstate New York to begin building his brand, which has now become Bodywork professionals.

The business started with Pavoldi working as a one-man operation, before things started to get busier, prompting him to slowly hire more and more therapists to help take care of each customer that came in. It’s been 20 years since Bodywork Professionals first opened, and the business now has a team of 30 dedicated massage professionals. Pavoldi says that anyone that comes into any of the three locations can feel assured that they will be taken care of by any and all of his employees.

“I recognize that lying face down on the table can often be a little intimidating in the beginning,” says Pavoldi, adding, “I think one of the things that I’d really like people to know is that they really are in good hands with the therapists that I have here, and they’re all really dedicated and caring professionals.”

Pavoldi also says that the main goal of the business is for every customer to walk out with their body feeling better than before. Rather than just focusing on massaging, the business focuses on bodywork, which Pavoldi explains is a process that goes deeper than the traditional relaxation and rejuvenation of a massage. While bodywork does provide those experiences as well, the main goal of a bodywork professional is to help improve the function and support of a customer’s muscular and skeletal systems.

To accomplish this, Bodywork professionals offers a wide variety of services for their customers, including softer options like the Swedish massage, up to more intense muscle work with deep tissue massages. They also offer medical massages, which aim to tailor the whole experience toward helping to relieve whatever pain the customer is experiencing.

“So, if you say you’re having a medical massage and your shoulder hurts, the whole massage is about your shoulder,” Pavoldi explains. “And it may not only be in your shoulder. You may have to work on the other shoulder, your low back, or your chest, or your neck.”

One of the newer services being offered at the office in Saratoga Springs is what’s known as a vibroacoustic table. It uses audio frequencies to produce vibrations throughout the table that then go through the person’s body, creating a relaxing atmosphere. Customers also have the option to wear headphones while they are on the table so they can be fully immersed in the music or sounds that are giving them that tactile experience. Customers that book an appointment in the Saratoga Springs office and arrive ahead of time can spend 10 to 15 minutes on the table. There is no extra cost associated with having this vibroacoustic experience.

Bodywork Professionals can be found across three locations: 109 Maple Avenue in Saratoga Springs, 578 New Loudon Road in Latham, and 1343 Balltown Road in Niskayuna. All three locations are open from 8am to 8pm Monday through Friday, and 9am to 4pm on weekends.
