MASSAGE THERAPY REVIEWS for Travis Skaggs and Vicki Harwick

  • Vitamin Shoppe - Shop NowA. D. says,  "A massage is just one of those little luxuries for some, but it's a necessity for others. Whether you are looking for a relaxing massage to pamper you, or you've got some real "tissue issues," try Advanced Soft Tissue Therapy.

    This clinic is owned by a dynamic husband-and-wife team, Vicki and Travis, who are professional, warm and caring. Both of them are athletes and many of their clients are also athletes who have very specific requirements for their ongoing performance. Other clients are less athletic (that would be me) but still profit from Vicki and Travis' wealth of knowledge on the musculoskeletal system and different techniques of massage. I went there because a friend recommended Vicki for her abilities in deep tissue massage, a type of massage geared towards releasing really tight and injured muscle tissue. I had badly injured one knee several months earlier, and my whole leg kept swelling every day even though the bruising had gone away. A gentle massage from Vicki and the daily swelling was a thing of the past. I go there now for monthly maintenance so that I don't get in as bad a shape as I was in -- years of back, leg and shoulder injuries have taken their toll.
    Advanced Soft Tissue recently relocated to a new office just off of 16th St. North at 54th Avenue North, by Putnam Paint and Hardware. It is beautifully decorated on the inside, and the relaxing music and massage will make you feel like a new person. A one hour massage runs about 60 dollars, and it is well worth it. I have been going there for almost three years now, and I am happy to have met this wonderful couple. I think you will like them, and the quality of the massage that they offer, too."

  • The Healers

    Coming off of a serious swimming shoulder injury I didn't know if I would be able to compete again. Under their care I have started to enjoy my sport again and look forward to a complete recovery. Incredibly talented therapists and just plain good people.

     

  • Carl Valle, USATF II, CSCS, in an interview for Crossfit Journal  concerning Recover and Regeneration says, " I  would say my last advancement in world of recovery and regeneration was forged by Travis Skaggs. Travis is a brilliant soft tissue therapist in Tampa. Not only did he prove that his methods of massage and body work were the top in the world, but he could dive in to absolute areas of recovery that others were not only not aware of, but do it with amazing success. Watching him work on athletes in the NFL, MLB, NHL, and Olympic track sprinters made me understand what my own training did on the athlete, a period of time that coaches don’t invest in time wise. I needed to know if my intensities and volumes were too much for the athlete or if the postural changes being invested in were actually happening. Travis never failed to be fully honest about my training and helped me refine areas of training that helped athletes improve their training dramatically."

 

  • Pam Kalio Triathlon Coach says, " I am a 54 year old triathlete and had knee surgery in December of 06 which led to  several major complications  -  bottom line I could not run and had extensive knee and leg pain day and night.  I started seeing Travis for Massage in April of 07.  He diligently worked on my problems to determine the root cause of the pain.  Through his extensive  experience  and knowledge he was not only able to determine what was causing the pain, but did this during the time that I was trying to train for an Ironman.  It is thanks to Travis that I am even able to compete in an Ironman less 1 year after major knee surgery.  He had been recommended to me by others for years, but I was never willing to make the drive across the bay.  Believe me - now  I am a weekly client  and the drive is not an issue when you have the opportunity to have someone with his experience and ability work on your structural problems.  He also alleviates the normal aches and pains of training, daily life and work.  Thanks Travis - for ALL you have done !!

  • C.M. says, "I have to tell you that since my therapy last night bending over to touch my toes is no longer a five step process. Prepare for pain. bend half way, grab something to steady self from pain, slowly ease the rest of the way, find other things to do while there to make the pain worth the trip. Seriously, I went to another therapist for months and did not get the results one session with you accomplished. Thank-you so much!"

  • Kat S. says, "Anyway, you both are excellent in your practice and are wonderful inspirations, and I thoroughly enjoyed my time with you both.  Thank you for helping to keep my muscles strong and supple during my pregnancy.  Best wishes, and keep healthy!"

  • "Mary Ann Renfrow says, " TRAVIS IS THE MAN!   I have been a client of Travis' since 1998.  I was originally referred to Travis by my coach, as well as several friends that were athletes.  I came to truly appreciate his knowledge and expertise when I was injured in a bike/car accident one year later.  He was the only health professional who offered me relief from my pain in a non-pharmaceutical way.  He was with me through multiple rehab facilities, several orthopedists and finally, surgery.  Travis worked with me and showed me the light at the end of the tunnel.  He continuously encouraged me to push forward to recover.  Through these past few years he continues to be an integral part of my healthcare and why I am able to remain so physical in my activities and sports.  I see him regularly, as a part of my training when I am healthy, and for treatment when I am injured. In closing, I would like to say that I admire his continuous quest for knowledge concerning the evolving methods of treatment through massage and offer that a professional more dedicated to those whom he treats you will not find." 

  • Enee Abelman says, "Travis Skaggs and Vicki Harwick have been our family (5) massage therapists for over seven years. Whether we are in need of specific healing for a sports injury or just simple relaxation, they are the best. Being up to date in several massage modalities makes Advanced Soft Tissue Therapy the one stop place to go for your needs. Besides a great massage, they can suggest stretches/exercises to speed with recovery. It is comforting to have a couple that are educated and sensitive to a variety of needs."

  • Jennifer N says, "Whenever I am in town, I try to get a massage from Travis or Vicki.  I have received numerous massages from various experts including but not limited to:  massage schools for the blind in Indonesia, experts in Swedish massage in Europe, and numerous certified massage therapists in the US.  None of those massages were as good as either Travis or Vicki. Specifically, both Travis and Vicki have a unique ability to find "kinks, imbalances, knots, etc." and more importantly work with your body (not against) to help with everyday stress, specific injuries, and/or sports related wear and tear.  Travis and Vicki create a relaxing environment and experience that have truly helped my body recover from stress or a strenuous workout.  I highly recommend Travis and Vicki. "  

  • Wendy C. Johnson of Motion Sports Management says, "Travis Skaggs has worked on my for many years. I’ve learned so much about health, fitness and general well being from him. I also have gotten relief from my various nagging injuries that sometimes turn to chronic pain. Before my most recent visit I had tired a number of other therapies including physical therapy, chiropractic care and an orthopedic. Travis had me walking without pain immediately. I was back on the bike the next day and out running the second day. If I’m injured or want to avoid being injured, Travis has the answers. "

  • Harry H. says, " It took a couple of sessions but the therapy allowed the injury to heal and it solved the issues of related muscle pain caused while trying not to move the shoulder. In short, the problem was solved. I've recommended a number of people with shoulder, back or leg pain with the complete confidence that their problems also will be solved." 

  • Sherry P. says, "Travis, Thanks for the fabulous sports massage!! I am an active triathlete and I am so grateful to find a great sports massage. I did the Ironman distance triathlon last year and I'm now training for another. I sure couldn't have made it without you. I really thought I was going to be sidelined due to leg injury early in the season. Your advice and healing massage were a winning combination for me. You helped make my dream come true. . . YOU'VE GOT THE TOUCH. Thanks Again."

  • Bob W. says, " I will have to re-iterate the comment “TRAVIS IS THE MAN!” Advanced Soft Tissue Therapy and Travis have helped me for several years. From preparing for Ironman events to healing the aches and pains of everyday life, Travis has always been able to identify and correct all of my ailments. I have had several unique issues from knee, back and neck pain. Travis has always been able to alleviate my issue and get me back on the road to training. His advice and therapy have really been on the forefront in comparison to other therapists. Thanks Travis!
