Hello! I am Emily Jacobs. I am a licensed massage therapist (LMT) in DC/MD. I attended the Potomac Massage Training Institute (PMTI) in Washington, DC and graduated in July 2011. While at PMTI I received my academic and practical training in an array of bodywork modalities with a focus on Swedish circulatory massage and deep tissue techniques.
Since graduation I have focused on studying myofascial release (MFR) specifically the method developed and taught by John F. Barnes, and have successfully completed over 90 continuing education hours in this work. I find the Barnes approach to MFR to be extremely beneficial to all clients, especially those suffering from back pain, neck pain, TMJ dysfunction, restricted motion, or chronic pain, and I look forward to sharing it with you.
I consider myself a semi-retired triathlete having completed 6 Ironman distance triathlons as well as a handful of Half Ironman, and Olympic distance races. Although I am stepping away from triathlon racing (for now) I continue to run (slowly) and bike (sporadically). My main means of fitness is through Crossfit doing at-home body weight and kettlebell workouts.
