Ashley Miller believes that massage therapy isn’t just about feeling good for an hour or so. It’s about a bigger picture.

“Massage is like an oil change,” said Miller, the new Massage Therapist at Village Family Clinic in Allamuchy Township. “Your body needs a boost every so often. It’s part of a treatment plan.”

Miller, a native of Daytona Beach, Fla, has been a massage therapist since 2007. She is certified in numerous styles: Swedish, Oncology, Geriatric, Pediatric, Deep Tissue, Sports, Trigger Points, Pre-Natal, Stretching, and Reflexology.

Most of her clients, she notes, come to her with a plan. “They don’t really come in here for a spa massage,” said Miller, who now resides in Blairstown. “They want some fixing, or as I like to say, for a therapeutic massage with a spa touch.”

“I strongly believe that massage is good for one’s emotions, blood flow and overall health,” she added.
