Rob Barber Boston Sports Massage Therapy

When I left your office with my Achilles taped I was really dubious that it would have any therapeutic affect. That left Achilles had hurt since two months before the Boston Marathon and had kept me from a lot of important training. I had grown used to idea of never running without this pain again. Well, within three days of you taping me, the pain disappeared and has not returned. Last Saturday I ran pain free for the first time in four months. I really am not sure how to thank you.

By the way, the hip taping you did this morning worked too. No pain in my six mile run today. I am amazed.

Originally from Vermont, Rob's interest in massage was sparked on a trip to New Mexico where he met several students from a massage school and became intrigued by what they were learning. Upon returning to Boston, Rob found himself enrolling in massage school with the drive and desire to help enhance the lives of others. In addition to massage therapy, Rob has also worked in emergency medical services in Vermont, at an MRI facility in Newton, and at a large physical therapy practice in New Mexico.

Rob incorporates many different techniques into his practice to provide individualized treatments to his clients that meet their needs and help with the healing process, including providing stretches that clients can do on their own to aid in their healing. He focuses on enhancing his client's overall well being as well as providing them with relief from pain and correcting body dysfunctions. Since graduating from the Polarity Realization Institute in Ipswich, where he became certified in Massage Therapy, Rob has continued to take courses in Massage for People Living with Cancer, Myofascial Release for Low Back Pain, and, most recently, Rob became a Certified Kinesio Taping Practioner. Rob is also a member of Associated Bodywork Massage Professionals, and certified by the National Certification Board for Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork.

Rob can also be found running along the Charles. He is also an avid snowboarder and most recently started mountain biking, and is always looking for new areas to explore on foot, board or bike.
