My name is Marta Magaw and for the past 23 years, I've been helping my clients live a more comfortable life. If you'd like to feel good, hurt less, and sleep better, you've come to the right place. 23 years of experience (on thousands of different bodies) and lots of clinical continuing education focused on the neck, shoulders, and back.
This gives me a large problem-solving toolkit. I combine evidence-based clinical work for your issues with relaxation work for overall health and happiness. Trigger points (TPs) refer pain, tingling, numbness, and/or muscle weakness into predictable areas. If you've had a massage that had no significant impact on your pain, you may have unresolved TPs contributing to your problem.

About

Hi, I'm Marta Magaw, Licensed Massage Therapist since 1998 and owner of Mt Lebo Massage. I specialize in clinical neck, shoulder, and back massage because that's what really speaks to my own body. It's where all of my tension goes. I'm on a mission to bring massage into your life because I believe you can live a more comfortable life and that massage can help you do that.
Why Choose Me
Report
While no service involving close contact is completely safe, I believe that my practice is "safer." I'm currently seeing a maximum of 3 clients per day and scheduling 45 to 60 minutes in between appointments for disinfecting the office and filtering the air (exposing you to significantly fewer germs than in a large massage facility).
Gift Certificates
Report
My massage practice is approaching "full" and that presents some scheduling issues. I am no longer open on the weekends and all the 5:30 and 6:00pm appointment times are spoken for. Unless your purchase is for an existing, very regular client, please only purchase a gift certificate if the recipient can take a daytime appointment beginning at sometime between 10am and 4:00pm.
Trigger Point Therapy
Report
Trigger Points (TPs) are taut palpable bands in muscles and connective tissue that refer pain, tingling, numbness, or muscle weakness into other, often predictable, areas. TPs can also present as sensations of hot, cold or itchy; or, can create symptoms such as nausea, ear or tooth ache, dizziness, tinnitus, or blurred vision.

I mad and appointment with Mt Lebo Massage just before the lock down. I was initially worried about canceling and how that would work but Marta reached out right away and let me cancel. I finally made it there yesterday and let me tell you, I will be back. The office was easy to find. The space was clean and soothing. Marta was friendly seemed to know just how much talking during a massage I like. I felt great afterward! I am already thinking about setting up something regular.
To anyone who is anxious about Covid or anxious about their body- I promise you'll be in great hands with Marta

My experience with Marta is always enjoyable. I've been lucky to experience her massages through two pregnancies and beyond and I look forward to every massage! I so appreciate her willingness to respect my needs for each session, both for the physical focus areas and also the energy level. If I was needing total relaxation she would happily keep it quiet and relaxing. I really cannot recommend her enough.

Marta is an excellent massage therapist. Listens very carefully to learn about any problem areas you may have and does a great job of addressing them. She also does a wonderful job of providing an overall therapeutic and *very* relaxing massage even if you don’t have any problem areas. I have been a client of Marta’s for several years and highly recommend her. She’s the best!

Marta has given me some of the best care. She listens and seeks to provide relief. I always have better neck movement and I am headache free. Marta is a true professional, her knowledge of the human body is something I have never encountered before from a massage therapist. After each appointment she is able to explain what muscles were responsible for my tension and pain. This is somethibg I really appreciate. She will even provide tips on how to get relief at home between sessions. I highly recommended Marta, she is the best message therapist in the business!

Marta is refreshingly down to earth lots of experience and she really knows her stuff. I have had 4 back surgeries and now face a knee replacement-my back has revolted with the 8 months of limping I have done. Marta gave me ideas and exercises to do but more than that she really relieved the sciatica pain I was feeling. Affordable price and I look forward to going back to her next week.

Marta really saved me! I was suffering from muscle strain in my back after hurting it in a workout. She used many techniques to help loosen the muscles and relieve my pain. After the massage I was worried because I still felt a little pinch in my back, but I woke up the next day with almost ALL the pain gone! Just from one massage! Marta gave me techniques to try when I am at home to keep my back stretched. She is extremely knowledgeable about the body and ways to relieve muscle stress, especially when working a desk job. I will definitely be scheduling time with Marta again!

One of the best places to get a massage in the Pittsburgh area! Can't wait to go back again! I was struggling with severe back pain and then went here. Let me tell you it was a miracle that I could walk better than when I arrived! Prices are very fair! 5 stars! Marta is amazing and I highly recommend!

Marta is the best! Highly professional, great personality. We clicked right away. She really took the time to make sure I'd get the very most out of my prenatal massage. She also spent extra time afterwards to show me a few stretches I can do with a tennis ball to work out my back pains. Will definitely be booking again soon!

I've seen Marta for 2 prenatal massages so far & they have been absolutely wonderful. She is extremely knowledgeable and takes time to review problem areas and preferences before each massage. The massage itself is always relaxing and luxurious feeling, and in the days after my massage I really notice a positive difference in the areas she targets. The products she uses are wonderful for me and the prenatal cushions are so nice. I feel fortunate that this is close to home for me and I am so grateful for her!

I am so grateful that Marta listened to my concerns and had a in-depth consultation with me to make sure she was able to help me with all my trouble areas. I will definitely make future appointments to see her, and will recommend her services to everyone. She was warm and inviting, friendly and down to earth. Affordable services, excellent techniques and a comfortable atmosphere. She doesn't skip any detail when it comes to your comfort and keeping you feeling better.

As a spa professional there is a certain level of professionalism, knowledge, expertise and cleanliness that I look for when getting a beauty or wellness service. I can honestly say that Marta exceeded my expectations. From her warm and friendly voice on the phone when scheduling my appointment to her welcoming smile and handshake when she greeted me. I could tell from the start of my consultation and during my massage she was preparing a treatment plan specifically for my needs and lifestyle. Marta's passion and knowledge is what truly drove me to write this review. If you're looking

I recently had my first massage with Marta and it was awesome! Marta has an extensive knowledge of the human body and was able to work the tiny muscles in my neck in such a way that it felt so much better. She was also very helpful with advice. I am definitely going back and would recommend Marta and Mt. Lebo Massage to anyone who wants to feel better and get an amazing massage.

I did love my massage experience with Marta. Marta has a very quiet manner and is an easy conversationalist, both of which I think are assets in a massage therapist. I felt she asked good questions to help pinpoint specific areas I perceived as problems, and she conducted the massage accordingly. Prior to my appointment, I received an email from Marta suggesting some simple techniques for helping to relax tight muscles. After my massage, she gave me a tennis ball and demonstrated how the ball and a wall could be effective in releasing tightness. Clients can book their own appointments online, and

Marta gave me several wonderful massages. I worked on my feet all day and had major foot pain. Marta relieved the pain and helped me to get to retirement.
Marta has a comfortable, warm, soothing room. I can't wait to treat myself to a back massage!
I gave two friends gift certificates for messages for Christmas. They were delighted. ( I hope I will get gift certificates for Marta massages for myself in the future.)
