My Story

The benefits of massage therapy are endless and it doesn't matter who you are, how old you are or what body type you have. Massage therapy is the oldest method known to humans that can and will assist in obtaining, retaining, and maintaining a healthy and happy body.

For over two decades my private practice has provided over eighteen thousand massages. My clients’ past and present range from all professions, age groups, and every kind of body type. Simply put, all walks of life.

Hi there, my name is Max Shane and I want to welcome you to my Maxximum Massage Therapy website. My company has been in existence since 1998. Since becoming a resident of Princeton a little more than twenty five years ago, I decided to pursue what came naturally to me. I decided to commit to doing what I could that would help with the health and care of others. I became a Certified Massage Therapist a few years after relocating here. The idea to become a massage therapist first became my life's journey after I received a massage while living in the wonder wellness city of Ann Arbor, Michigan. It was a beautiful summer day when I had the idea to make an appointment to receive my first ever form of bodywork.  My body was terribly achy and completely fatigued. I really couldn't take another day of work, classes or anything. So, I made an appointment with a therapist whose card I ran across at a health food store.

​After my therapist completed her work, I left her quaint, cute and tranquil home office so relaxed, feeling totally relieved and absolutely free of all physical, emotional and spiritual heaviness. To say that I was impressed with her work would be an understatement. It was during that moment that I was convinced that I wanted to become a professional massage therapist. Once I began dreaming and determined on becoming a massage therapist, it was all I could think of. I was excited about how much I wanted to help people simply feel better and hopefully help normal, everyday, and hard working people feel as rejuvenated as I did. So, I convinced myself it was my calling. At this moment, becoming a Licensed Certified Massage Therapist and assisting people by providing physical care became my focus. I decided to dedicate the necessary effort and energy towards that goal. My thoughts were that by becoming a massage therapist I would not only be in a position to help and enhance the lives of others, but my own as well. 

Since becoming a massage therapist I've met thousands of incredible people. My work has given me the opportunity to work with people from all walks of life. I've worked with athletes of all levels from AAU and high school to college and professional levels.

Massage therapy has provided the opportunity to work with people in Sports of all levels, the Arts and Entertainment industry and just about anything that requires high physical demands. I’ve also been able to work with people’s demanding schedules and find the best time that suits their needs. The usual approach to my work is customizing it according to the client and their specific needs at the moment of the session. 

​Throughout my career as a bodyworker I’ve had the pleasure of meeting some amazing people. Clients who establish themselves with a regular appointment often share things that matter to them most. I have found that clients benefit from sharing their stories and concerns by encouraging a positive therapeutic environment.

​I hope you make an appointment and give me the opportunity to work with you.

Where I’m located.
