Massage Therapy

Introduction

Hi, my name is Harmon Givens and I've been doing massage for a decade. I was trained at Centerpoint Massage and Shiatsu Bodywork and Clinic with their East-West Massage program. I like to combine swedish and therapeutic massage techniques with Shiatsu stretching to help solve complaints of pain.

Pricing

I charge $80/hour (the sales tax is included in the price). I accept Cash, Credit, Venmo, and HSA cards.

Scheduling

On the Scheduling App I made Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday available from 1:00-9:00 pm, Fridays 9:00 am - 5:00 pm and Saturdays 10:00 am - 2:00 pm. I do mobile massage when I'm not at the clinic and fill in my time before/after/during open parts in my schedule doing in home massages. I will make time for clients if they cannot find a time that suits them. Just get a hold of me by text (Preferred Method), phone call, email (Harmon.Givens@icloud.com) and let me know what time/day you're looking for.

Services

Swedish Massage

Relaxation, Circulation, and Tension Reduction focused massage that connects the body across joints and uses Body Mobilization Techniques (Moving limbs to change the shape of muscles and distracting the mind to allow access into deeper layers of the muscle tissue). It is the standard for western massage and uses five basic techniques:  Effleurage,  Petrissage, Friction, Tapotement, and Vibration.

Some people get this type of massage monthly and many people go for long periods of time before getting one. 

Therapeutic Massage

This is accurate massage also referred to as "Deep tissue" massage that focuses on thorough work of individual muscles to release Trigger Points ( contracted muscle units/fascia that causes local or referred pain patterns). This is the type of massage you would want if you are feeling acute or chronic musculoskeletal pain that you want to resolve from life behaviors or recovery from injury.

Depending on the nature of why you hurt or the reason that may have caused it, the relief of symptoms can take between 2-8 weeks. This is also sometimes used as maintenance for people who have jobs that cause tension due to posture or required actions to perform that are not ergonomic to the body.

The recommended interval for receiving this type of care is 4-14 days apart from each session. 

Foot and Hand Reflexology

I typically use this training in conjunction with the other forms of massage. It is an older style that dates back to Ancient Egypt and focuses on energetic points on the hands and feet that correspond to different parts of the body. It can be done as a standalone service if someone only wants their feet/lower legs - hands/forearms worked on.
