We love highlighting local businesses that make a real difference in how our neighbors feel every day. Recently, I had the pleasure of sitting down with Caris Barton, the owner of Magic Fingers Therapeutic Massage LLC, to learn about his journey and the unique services he brings to the Rome community.
Meet Caris Barton
Caris brings a wealth of experience to his practice, with eight years of experience as a dedicated therapeutic massage therapist. His professional background is deeply rooted in caregiving; he studied neuromuscular therapy at Georgia Northwestern and worked as a CNA in a nursing home with initial plans to pursue a nursing degree. Ultimately, he found his calling in massage therapy because it allows him to build meaningful relationships while helping people find relief from pain without having to rely on narcotics or pain pills.
What Makes Magic Fingers Stand Out?
Operating out of a relaxing room on Riverside Parkway, Caris offers a variety of services specifically tailored to his clients’ individual needs. Here is a look at what makes his business a standout in our community:
- Targeted Therapeutic Relief: While he offers traditional table massages ranging from light to deep tissue, his true area of expertise is therapeutic work. Caris specializes in providing relief for clients suffering from headaches, migraines, and fibromyalgia.
- Deep Muscle Focus: Unlike standard relaxation (or Swedish) massages that focus on light flow, his therapeutic approach targets deep, internal layers of muscle. He utilizes techniques like trigger point therapy, sometimes combined with Swedish strokes, to effectively relax tight, knotted muscles.
- Flexible, Weekend Scheduling: Finding time for self-care can be tough during the work week. Caris makes it easier by offering highly accommodating hours, including Saturday appointments—an option many other local massage therapists do not provide.
- Community Inclusivity: Caris is proud to run a business that serves as a designated safe space for the LGBTQ+ community.
- Mobile Event Services: You might even spot him around town! Caris provides mobile chair massages for private events and actively supports local business collaborations, recently participating in the Traveling Gypsies’ Holistic Mystical Day.
When asked what advice he has for anyone wanting to make a difference in our community, Caris kept it wonderfully simple: pick a charity or a cause you are passionate about, and just focus on doing it.
How to Book Your Therapeutic Massage Session
Running a service-based business means Caris pours himself entirely into every 60 or 90-minute massage he provides. To make the process smooth for everyone, he utilizes a streamlined online booking system. Clients simply prepay on his website to secure their appointment and complete their required intake forms online via email ahead of time.
