Massage
Therapist Travis Skaggs
|
Welcome. I began my massage career 21 years ago when I
enrolled at the Florida Institute of Natural Health in
Gainesville, Florida, September of 1990. Massage School was preceded by
a 3 month bicycle trip starting in Anchorage Alaska after
graduating from the University
of Arkansas with
a Master's Degree in Professional Counseling.

I became a massage therapist to
learn more.
Massage
Therapy has been the right vocation for me after trying
several other career paths. I worked with a
bicycle team early in my career, as well as several
Olympic marathon runners. Later came many amateur and
professional track and field, football, tennis, hockey,
triathlete and baseball athletes. I have worked long hours
in massage for most of my career but currently limit my
massage practice to 5 people each working day. Most of my
clients seek my services for sports massage, relief of
acute and chronic pain, accident recovery, and training
for performance.
My approach is eclectic in nature and not
specific to any one method of bodywork. I primarily use a
blend of structural and postural evaluation, Neuromuscular
Therapy, Myofascial Release and assisted stretching
(including the Aaron Mattes Method of active isolated
stretching) PNF, deep tissue massage, and acupressure
(Shiatsu) in my bodywork sessions.

PERSONAL
INFORMATION
I appreciate the many athletes who
come to our clinic. Some are among the best in the world.
I also feel fortunate to live in Florida where there are
so many wonderful days of sunshine and places available to
participate in outdoor activities. I love to ride my
bicycle with the St.
Pete Maddogs and
the St.
Petersburg Bicycle Club and
walk with my dog, Zac. One of my favorite areas to bike is
the
Suncoast Trail north
of Tampa, Florida. Hope to see you soon, Travis
