Jacob Livingston, LMP

Jacob is amaaaaazing! I was looking for somebody to see who was closer to me on the hill instead of going to Fremont every month. A friend had recommended him and I’ve been a happy customer ever since.
I run a lot and he can fix almost any problem I have, as long as I didn’t do something terrible to myself. His knowledge about the body is amazing and he makes sure he puts it to use in your massage. I see him for 90 min sessions and he usually has some Secret Squirrel deals on prices so he’s a bargain! He’s worth a lot more but shhhhh!
Go see him! Make sure you tell him what pressure feels good for you-don’t be shy. He was pretty gentle the first time to see where I liked it but once I told him I liked more pressure, he listened. He always customizes what is right for you so the next day it’s like having a new body!

I had a 1-​hour long session with Jacob not knowing what to expect, but sought a massage out of desperation, because I had spent the previous 4 months getting destroyed by my personal trainer like I had offended his family.
We became acquainted with each other, told him that I need an upper body focus, and then he told me to strip down to my level of comfort. Everything felt straightforward, so I stripped.
Jacob found tension in areas I didn’t even know you could be tense or that a masseur would even tend. Like my armpit side boob area. Side boobs so tense.
He transitioned to my upper boobs and this is where everyone deals a bit differently.
Like, «oh my god, this is the most action I’ve had in a while. Should I close my eyes for this? What if he thinks that I’m imagining myself getting a surprise boner? Why is it so damn hot in here? Ahhh, it’s so hot.»
The real wincing pain came when he worked on my neck. He pulled my neck and shoulders apart as though he was trying to pull out a small demon thing. The knots felt so severe that I had an involuntary reaction to kick with my toes.
At the end, my upper body felt much more relaxed and Jacob did good work, even though I felt my massage needed a Frank Ocean soundtrack.

Booking appointments online so I don’t have to interact with anybody over the phone is one of my favorite things. (Online food orders changed my life and made me fatter.) Jacob also offers AMAZING deals if you buy one of his packages online. Like seriously, one of the best deals I’ve ever gotten. He’s also great during the massage, and he works you out well. He’s not too chatty but just enough to make you comfortable.
His 90-​minute massages are heavenly. I never want to get a 60-​minute massage. And even with the tip, it’s the cheapest massage I’ve ever gotten since I purchased a deal.

Jacob’s wonderful. He’s super nice and instantly puts jumpy, high-​strung me at ease. He usually spends the whole hour on my neck and shoulders, and I feel fantastic afterwards. I have no idea how he finds those tiny knots deep in there, but he does, and it’s amazing. He’s a real pro, and I wish I could visit every week!
Love the online booking, love the unrushed atmosphere, love his mellow manner — and his massages are just fantastic.

Fantastic. So helpful. Thanks! I was able to schedule this from my phone. Jacob was kind, thoughtful, and thorough. That was the most relaxing hour I’ve had in a very long time.

Jacob took the time to really understand where I was coming from and what I wanted to get out of the massage. He was very calming and comfortable. I would DEFINITELY go back!

Gave a gift certificate to a friend. He said Jacob did a nice job. He felt bad he didn’t bring tip money. He didn’t know it was customary. Anyway sounds like Jacob is good at what he does.

Well, that was delightful.
I was able to easily book online (LOVE THIS!) and (cheap, paid) parking was close and easy to navigate, the office was warm and inviting and the services were FANTABULOUS!
Jacob not only gave me a great massage, he helped demonstrate a helpful stretching technique for my jacked up shoulder to keep it in better condition.
I get massages often so I really do know good from not-​so-​good massage and this charming young man knows his stuff!
I’m already making my follow up appt now…

I’ve been to Jacob twice for back and shoulder problems, and afterwards the tightness and pain are gone. He does excellent work, and the massage area is clean, comfortable, and relaxing. It’s also nice that he has an easy to navigate website, where booking appointments is a snap.

Guys, you can be comfortable with Jacob, too, to get a real man’s massage. You don’t have to sweat on top a heated table or under a heavy blanket, as you can be cool under a sheet with the fan on. Normally I am there with a problem area which he remembers from the prior visit, but he is very good at finding other spots needing work, so mention a concern. Recently I was there with no issues, so he said let’s start the massage as an overall full body tune-​up, but he made me feel comfortable as he moved in deeper to address a specific tightness. Buy your massages in a package to save and afford more.

He’s awesome!!! Room was a little hot but that helped to relax the muscle.

My favorite part of the massage is that it lasted! I think most people feel great after a massage but it is not long lasting. Jacob is the best massage therapist I’ve ever encountered. Understood the exact areas that needed to be worked over and communicated well on my first session as far as pressure and specific tight muscles. I will definitely be a return client and have already recommended him to my patients!

I plopped into Jacob’s massage business after some residual achey muscles from a long stretch of work left me feeling like it took 10 minutes to crawl out of bed. I also saw he has a Unilocal check in offer for 15% off a service when you check into his establishment, bringing the already reasonable prices down some, and matched with his close proximity to home, decided to book an appointment. It’s super easy to book (and prepay for) a massage online through his personal website or a third party website he has linked. You can buy blocks of massages online or in person, as well, and the bulk pre-​pay option gives you a decent percent off. The massage itself was über relaxing: I got the lower and mid back and leg work that I needed, and some neck work that got a good amount of the work stress out. Jacob has magic, glitter Jesus hands or something, because I couldn’t tell when he was using his hands or forearm when he was working on his back (a good sign). Also: his table is heated! Heated! Not so much I was sweaty and gross, but pleasantly so.
Do come here and get massaged, and make it rain for Jacob. I would come here even without the deals he has on Unilocal,through Facebook, or his own website (check them out, too). And people with cars: it is a well established fact that parking on Capitol Hill sucks. There are no huge, sprawling, suburban parking lots here for you to park your Tahoe/​Suburban. Take this into consideration and give yourself at least 20 minutes to find a spot prior to your appointment.

I’m honestly not surprised that every review for Jacob on here is five stars (not to mention the 40+ stellar reviews he’s received on genbook:
).
I’ve seen a lot of massage practitioners and can say without reservation that Jacob has been the best, particularly when it comes to therapeutic massage. I have recurrent headaches that stem from years of tight muscles in my shoulders and neck; after just a few sessions w/​Jacob, they’ve gone from every day to a few times a week. And even though he spends the full hour doing some pretty intense muscle work that’s quite painful at the time, I somehow still always leave relaxed and feeling great!
Need some more reasons to avail yourself of his healing powers? No problem:
1. He has a fancy shmancy massage table that’s heated. HEATED! I dunno, maybe these days all the cool kids have them, but for me it was a revelation.
2. In addition to being highly effective, he’s also very respectful and sweet.
3. Booking online is super easy and you can wait until the last minute to make an appointment. I’m kind of surprised that Jacob’s schedule isn’t constantly booked solid; there are always multiple appointment times to choose from (even for the next day).
4. Secret Squirrel Deals. I’d explain what they are… but then they wouldn’t be secret, would they?

Jacob is great. Love the easy online booking. Jacob really knows what he is doing. I went to him after a car accident and he was super helpful. He gave excellent massage that really addressed the issues that I was having post car accident. He was both approachable and professional. I would recommend Jacob to anyone.

Jacob is the best! He’s friendly and professional and provides a comfortable, relaxing environment. I have never felt so great the next day! He targets problem areas while managing to make my whole body feel pampered. There’s really no other option for the city of Seattle and I visit him every time I travel to the northwest!

I agree with Lilly M. Jacob is the best in therapeutic massage. I told him exactly where it hurt and Jacob instinctively knew where and how to heal the ache in my muscles. He provided the most effective massage, leaving me calm, relaxed and free of pain. After the massage, he showed me how I can relieve some of my pain in between appointments.
If you are considering massage therapy for your body’s aches & pains, don’t waste your time anywhere else. Make an appointment with Jacob!

Jacob, hands down, provides the best massage that I have ever received.
Having chronic back, neck & shoulder pain & tightness, I have seen many massage therapists, chiropractors & physical therapists, but no one has provided relief as long-​lasting than a 90-​minute massage from Jacob.
I have been a regular client of Jacob’s for over a year, & I can say, without question, that his massage get better with every visit. I feel like, as a therapist, he is more in tune with my body’s needs & issues than others I have seen, as he remembers the issues I was having during my last visit & knows what needs work just by memory & touch.
Without fail, the most relaxing experience of my month is my 90 minutes with Jacob. I would recommend him to anyone with any kind of back pain related to tightness or injury. He will take care of you.

Nice strong hands, empathetic touch, easy online appointments, and lots of great deals. Really glad I found Jacob!

Say no to wimpy massages. If that’s what you need, Jacob could definitely provide a lighter touch, but I’m a piece of work.
I have rocks for shoulders which require large amounts of pressure to even budge. Jacob delicately puts the body weight of elephants into the knots somehow, and it feels amazing.
I’ve gotten quick appointments when I need them through email, and scheduling online is super convenient. Also, you should friend Jacob on Facebook because he has fun deals. (Example: Bring in a ticket from the last play you saw and get half off.)
Depending on the time of day, you have to plan for parking if you need to drive to Capitol Hill. I give myself some extra time since being late makes me even more tense before a massage.
