Hi, I’m Adam Raven.
After 10 years working as a social worker with young people and about the same time working for the man in Corporate America I decided to flip it upside down and retrain as a Massage Therapist, so am now Adam Raven LMT(Licensed Massage Therapist)
I was born and raised in Leicester, England, moving over to North America in 2009. Philly, and indeed Fairmount has been my home since 2011. I’m a keen runner, cyclist, yogi, skier, and pretty much anything else outdoors, so wanted to move into a career that more closely aligned with my interest of living a heathy lifestyle both mentally and physically.
I have an 8 year old son who follows many of my interests, although I am yet to find his level of passion for Pokemon, Roblox or spinning in circles until I fall over.
My Approach
I use a variety of massage modalities to create a relaxing environment aimed at complementing other aspects of your life, be it running, cycling, yoga, climbing or just staying generally healthy. I use massage to help with improving recovery speeds before and after workouts, races or competitions. Recovery is the key to improving and being ready for that next event, and crucial to recovery is good quality sleep, particularly before and after those big workouts or during high stress times.
Whilst I can work with most people, if we are involved in similar activities, the reality is I’ll be in a better position to understand your interests and priorities from a first-hand experience. That’s why I was keen to tell you a little bit about myself above and why most of the people I work with enjoy running, cycling, yoga, climbing, or boot camp or HIIT-style gym classes.
