Functional Therapy

Functional Therapy is the practice of identifying restrictions in the connective tissues "negative tension" throughout the body. Restructuring of connective tissues through manual therapies and active moments. Education of body mechanics, and reestablishing the mind-muscle connection "positive tension" to bring the body back to a balanced state.

WHERE PASSION, EXPERIENCE & HUMAN OPTIMIZATION MEET!

 

Jon Harevey

My name is Jon Harvey, and I have been practicing as a professional massage therapist since 2007. The past thirteen years have allowed me to hone my skills with over 15 thousand hours of practice, and 1000 hours of continuing education has allowed me to work at the Olympic Training Center on several occasions. My dream has always been to work with Olympic athletes and other sports professionals to help them achieve an optimal state of performance. My first experience at the OTC in 2013, while exciting, inspired in me a desire to understand the human body more. In 2016, I graduated from the University of Memphis with a B.S. in Exercise and Sport Science. I most recently completed a 200-hour certification in Synergetic Myofascial Therapy. Because of my extensive knowledge and years of experience, my clients now refer to me as a "Functional Therapist."

I have embraced the moniker of "Functional Therapist" in the place of a massage therapist. It illustrates the blending of knowledge from different fields of practice to help humans function better in life perfectly. I have crafted a method of addressing the client's immediate needs while addressing the underlying issues.

I believe that the release of a negative tension can structurally balance a person's mind, body, and soul. It revitalizes our most precious resources for physical, mental, and emotional health. I want to provide my clients with a relaxing, compassionate, and stress-reducing session at an affordable price. The atmosphere that I provide for my clients is a safe, calming, and professional environment where they can release tensions, relieve pain, and recover.
