Fall is all around us! The chilly air feels great, if you ask me. One of the best parts of having chilly air all around is that you get to go inside and warm up. Isn't that a great feeling?

This time of year I turn my table warmer on by default, and people love having a nice warm place to rest while they get their massage.

Do you live anywhere near Forest St. and Broadway in Haverhill, MA? If you do, are you aware that you've got a 5-star rated massage therapist in your neighborhood?

My clients have been raving about my relaxation massages, deep tissue massages, and that I don't charge extra for hot stones or cupping.

Read some of my reviews here (https://www.massagebook.com/therapists/IntegrityMassage/reviews?src=external) and if you like what you're seeing, go ahead and book your own appointment!

Here's a recent 5 star review I received:

"I'd been searching for a massage therapist without luck for two years, and I'm happy I randomly stumbled on Jim. He's extremely professional, interesting to talk to, and, most importantly, knows his way around your muscles. He doesn't just use "the same routine" he does with everyone else; he tailors it to what you want and where your issues are."

I really appreciate this client noticing how I customize the massage to the client's needs. I work real hard to understand the goals each client has, and I come up with a unique plan to accomplish those goals.

If that's the sort of individualized care you need for your muscles, you can book me right now at www.massagebook.com/biz/integritymassage

These tiny little muscles are called Scalenes, and they help to keep your head upright throughout the day. And they are often so.... very.... tight!

The other day I was working on a client's neck. It was their 3rd appointment with me, and I was really happy with how the rest of their muscles have been relaxing over time, but those scalenes, man... they didn't want to give up!

I used some hot stones and some focused deep tissue techniques, and I got their scalenes to start loosening up!

Some muscles aren't quick jobs. I've noticed that "small muscles with big jobs" tend to hold on to quite a lot of tension. It is possible to restore mobility, decrease pain, and bring these muscles back into proper function. It will take time, technique and a good routine of stretching on your part.

So, if you're ready to start making some progress on an area of chronic tightness in your muscles, make an appointment and let's get the ball rolling for you! We can do this, together!

There was some disturbing news this week in my home town, Methuen. A pair of massage businesses were shut down for operating illegally and abusing their workers' rights.

It got me to thinking - do people know the markers to look for to be sure they're in a massage business that is operating on the up-and-up?

First and foremost, listen to your gut. Our instincts are smarter than our brains are much of the time, so if you're getting an icky feeling, listen to it!

You can also look for a state-issued license. The state gives credit-card sized licenses to businesses that they have vetted, and the law is to display those licenses in plain view. You should see an establishment license as well as a license for each therapist employed by the business, and if you don't, that's a red flag. If you don't see one, you ask about it and they can't show you their licenses, that's an even bigger red flag!

Just because you don't see a license doesn't mean you've stumbled into a horrifying situation - maybe you're in a licensed establishment run by a disorganized person, for example. But it should set off warning bells and prompt you to ask questions.

A license doesn't guarantee good behavior, of course, but you can be sure that anybody who has a state-issued massage license has passed a recent CORI check, and that the state and city are both aware of the business and have the ability to perform spot inspections.

Another key detail is that these cases came to light because of complaints to the Mass department of health. You, the consumer, can play a role in helping this industry stay safe, both for the clients and the workers. There's so many businesses out there, a random spot check is a rare thing. But a complaint will be investigated.

Ever felt worse leaving a massage than you did going into it?

I've been there. I get it. It's not an enjoyable massage, and for days you're feeling right where that person shoved their elbow too hard.

A lot of people think "deep tissue massage" means "tons of pressure, make it hurt!"
That's not what it means.
Deep Tissue Massage REALLY means "massage that helps muscles that are layered beneath other muscles."

So, maybe you have a "no pain, no gain" mentality. But, trust me! What you muscle really needs isn't pain - you're already feeling that, or else you wouldn't be asking me for a deep tissue massage - what you muscle really needs is precise care.

My technique is all about precisely targeting the areas of your muscles that need therapy, and then working out that knot gently. I use hot stones, cupping, myofascial release, trigger point, and guasha techniques to make a difference without beating you up.

Happy Fall!

Fall is my favorite. I love the crisp coolness in the air!

Integrity Massage has a table warmer, so if you need a cozy moment as the weather turns cold this fall, book yourself a relaxation massage with hot stones. You'll be wrapped up in warmth for an hour! There's even a Dunks next door so you can get your pumpkin spice whatever-it-is afterwords :)

A recent client left a review praising that I didn't cut down the length of their massage to make up for the time we spent talking about the issues in their muscles that brought them in for a massage.

This is one of the advantages to getting your massages from a business like mine - I work for myself, so I set the rules. I don't have a manager breathing down my neck telling me to cram more profit into the day.

That means that I can pace my sessions in a way that works for YOU, my client! I intentionally leave plenty of time between appointments so that I can be present, I can take the time I need to understand why you came in, AND, I can do all of that while still giving you a massage for the amount of time you're paying for.

You can book your own massage right now at

"Somehow you manage to help my muscles without it hurting!"
"My shoulder hasn't felt this good in five years!"
"You actually worked on what I asked you to work on!"
"Ohh man I could just take a nap right now!"
"I wish I had discovered him sooner."
"I cannot believe how much better I feel."
"You really have found your calling. You're really good at this!"
"I thought I would never find a therapist that would help my back and shoulder issues so much."

You, too, could be saying things like this about your massage therapist. Come find out why others are making Integrity Massage their go-to place for massage.

Here's a recent review:

"Jim is a professional in every way. Highly talented in his massage skills. He listens attentively to your concerns and then carries out his plan accordingly. He adjusts course as he discovers additional information from your body. His deep understanding of muscle and connective tissue anatomy clearly ups his game. I wish I had discovered him sooner."
