Protea Bodywork
About
Protea Bodywork is a massage therapy practice in Jamaica Plain offering evidence-informed, personalized sessions in its private space or in clients’ homes. Treatments aim to relieve pain, reduce stress and support overall wellness, and each session is built around the client’s needs. Depending on the goal, the work may draw on Swedish relaxation massage, deep tissue, sports massage or cupping, which uses therapeutic suction to decompress tight muscles and tissue.
Licensed massage therapist Gareth Boone leads the practice. He came to massage wanting to ease pain for loved ones, and he brings a background in psychology along with training in Swedish, deep tissue, TMJ, trigger point, myofascial, cupping and sports massage. He also offers specialized post-operative massage for people recovering from cosmetic surgery, mastectomy or other procedures, using gentle techniques to reduce swelling, limit scar tissue and support lymphatic drainage.
