Abi Harper Massage Therapist

I’ve seen Abi several times, I’ve been dealing with issues after a major sinus problem, which included two surgeries leaving me with chronic tmj related pain as well as muscle tightness in my head, neck, and shoulders. She really has helped me to progress and I am feeling closer and closer to being healed. Abi is an extremely good listener, who is really good at using that information in her treatments. She also helped me mentally cope by explaining to me the mechanisms for my pain as well as showing me a massage manual which matched my pain patterns and trigger points. This helped put my mind at ease as I could begin to see a how and why the pain acts and gave me skills that have helped greatly on my road to recovery.

I’ve gone to Abi once every month /​few months for the past year or so. Abi is the best massage therapist I’ve ever had! I found her by asking around for recommendations, and her name was independently recommended to me by four or five friends. I have since recommended her to a lot of friends, and they have all enjoyed her as well.
The building is pretty, though it does have flights of stairs if that is a concern for you. There is usually plenty of free private parking in the back of the building (at least there has been when I’ve gone after work during the week), which relieves parking stress. The lobby of the building has complimentary teas and water which helps when it’s warm or cold outside.
Abi is attentive and starts each session by asking what you’d like to focus on, and pays a lot of attention to what you’d like to achieve. She is very aware and considerate of scrapes and bug bites and the like, and adjusts to fit feedback well (I get ticklish sometimes since I have nerves that are unhappy some places, and she’s always adjusted immediately when I’ve mentioned it’s tickling). There’s always relaxing music to listen to.
Occasionally I get into deep relaxation during a session and I leave those feeling completely rejuvinated, my mind having wandered off into daydreams and plans, and working out what I’d like to achieve in the coming weeks.
Abi is easily booked online which helps me fit massage into my schedule! She is very warm, caring, and I leave feeling consistently refreshed and with more freedom of movement.
She also is knowledgeable of TMJ issues (among many massage techniques), which I have been struggling with, which was an added bonus to find out!
I’ve felt extremely comfortable, and recommend Abi highly to anyone. LGBTQ/​etc friendly and consent-​aware, which is lovely too.
Looking forward to more visits soon!

Abi’s a phenomenal massage therapist, both physically skilled and expert in her knowledge of how the body works. She fixed a nagging shoulder problem for me in one session, and possibly boosted my athletic performance to boot!

I am lucky to have found Abi, during a stressful time — she’s expert at finding & undoing the body’s knots with massage, and she has a true healer’s quiet presence. I rely on her, and give gift certificates to friends in need

Very pleasant little room on the top of a Victorian near Central Sq. Abi was great in getting to know what I wanted worked on and tackled every problem spot I had. She definitely wants to know what is bothering you so that she can tailor the massage to whatever needs the most attention. I’ll definitely be returning and would recommend her to my friends!

I was given a 1hr session as a gift from a friend. Not normally my thing, but wow! I’d just started rock climbing, and I turned out to have knots of stiff, clenched muscles all through my back and shoulders. Abi found them all, and left me feeling as relaxed and energized (if that makes sense) as I can ever remember being. Loved the atmosphere and Abi’s demeanor and technique.
