Did a 1 hour session and immediately booked 3 more hours afterwards. If you're dealing with any pain, I can't recommend Heavy Elbow enough!

I was desperately in need of range-of-motion work and some general maintenance to get me back to a baseline level of function. Unfortunately, I found it surprisingly difficult to find practitioners who truly understood the type of bodywork serious athletes and bodybuilders need. Dameion took the time to understand my training, movement limitations, and goals before jumping into treatment. His approach is definitely different. As other reviewers have mentioned, he uses everything from traditional bodywork techniques to what look like garden tools. The thing is, it works. More importantly, he knows the body. Regardless of the tools he uses, he understands what he's trying to accomplish and how to get results. I left feeling noticeably better, with improved mobility and a clear path forward for addressing some longstanding issues. read more

While a very nice guy, I feel he should have advertised that you would be "massaged" with a garden shovel.... Not a joke. I received a three hour massage being poked by a shovel. No hands on work. read more

I have been coming to Dameion for well over a year now and cannot explain how much Dameion has helped! I recommend all to go see him with any pain, tightness, knots, etc. they might be dealing with. While chiropractic care, massages, foam rollers, etc. were helping me prior - Heavy Elbow truly got to the root of what was causing my pain/imbalances. Dameion is truly a genius at his craft and will help you create a personalized treatment plan based on what you're experiencing. I completed the full 10-pack session in early 2021 & will schedule routine appointments for "tune ups" as needed. Best body worker in Denver hands down. read more

I pulled a few muscles and came to Damien to help work out the scar tissue without much of an idea as to what to expect. The session was delightful. Yes, he will use a shovel but he explains why and makes you feel safe in the process which is more important than whatever tool is used. Not only do my hips feel SO much better after just one session but I left with more energy and mental clarity than I had walking in. It is hard to find reputable and quality body work and I feel so grateful to have crossed paths with Damien. read more

Dameion is fantastic! I've had issues with hip/glute pain and thus IT band & knee for years. I've tried yoga, chiropractic, and massage with only little & temporary success. Structural integration therapy sessions with Dameion have really gotten down to the root of the pain and have finally given me some long term relief. I definitely recommend giving a 3-pack a try to ease your ongoing body pains. read more

Heavy Elbow BodyWork by Dameion Hines - Dameion working on my hip pain. - Massage Therapy Near Me - Denver, Colorado

Damien is the bodywork version of my quarterly oil change for my car. He's the oil changer, tire rotator and mechanic! I usually go in with something to fix and I walk out fixed or on the road to being fixed (if multiple sessions are needed). Please don't go on expecting sexy lighting, spa music, candles and a relaxing massage. This experience is like Rolfing. Some techniques are nail biting...but so worth it! read more

BETTER than ANY massage! Dameion works beneath deep tissue to break up built up, clogged up areas of the body. This is not meant for simple relaxation / meditation / being soothed, but it works unbelievably better than any other version of body-pain-relief. After the intro session I was immediately hooked and bought a 4-pack that undid back pain I've been having consistently for YEARS. Once you hear Dameion explain his process, it makes so much sense and can help any number of health and body ailments. Forget the chiropractor, acupuncture, etc - Dameion's heavy elbows (and other tools) are the REAL DEAL and break down the root of the problem(s). Be prepared for an intense and healing experience! read more

Damian is helping me get back to a younger version of myself. I have several areas he is working on but the most notable is plantar fasciitis. I have been trying to get rid of planter fasciitis for nearly 2 years now. Sleeping in a boot every night. About $1000 in orthotics that I wore religiously with good shoes. Money sunk into acupuncture and gua sha treatments. Physical therapy. Dry needling. Stretching. Resting resting resting. After one treatment the pain was gone and I can simply walk around in my socks again! And after just two treatments my lower back and knees are nearly back to normal. Yes sometimes it is painful to get rid of the pain but worth it. Worth every penny - he is a well trained and creatively brilliant fountain of youth. read more

I found Dameion through Groupon, and I quickly signed up for the 10 session full body package. I had tried everything for my herniated disc - chiropractors, massage therapy, physical therapy, acupuncture, and cortisone shots. Rolfing is the only thing that has worked for me, and I've been pain-free since about my 3rd or 4th session, which was a year and a half ago. Now I just go back every 6 months or so for a maintenance session to keep the muscles nice and loose. Yes, it hurts, but not nearly as much as the chronic pain I had every day before. Just focus on your breath, and it'll be over soon. Dameion is also really great to spend 90 minutes with. He explains what he's doing and is super knowledgeable. Even though you're in pain, chatting with him about random topics helps the time pass faster. He's a friendly guy. Go try rolfing! You won't regret it. read more

This is the best type of massage you can get! It does get a little painful, but it's good pain, and SO worth it. I went in for one session and I can't wait to go back. My first visit was dedicated to my ribs and I can tell I'm breathing better because of it, I'm really excited to see the difference that all of future sessions bring! read more

I've probably been to 50+ different body workers for a problem with my wrist. Dameion is hands down the best body worker/healer I've ever been to. The work he does actually works, and has lasting results. For years I had non stop pain in my wrist and forearm, after a number of sessions with Dameion I was pain free. If your looking for a true healer Dameion is your guy! I drive from Boulder to Denver just to see Dameion, there is no one else like him. read more

My girlfriend bought me a massage last year from groupon. Just got around to reviewing because we were talking about it. Groupon stated that it was a deep tissue message but in fact I learned it was something much different when I went in. It is called Rolfing which is much different. After 1 minute of painful Rolfing I told him I wished not to continue. He acted nice and said it was ok and said he would refund my money. Clicked a few buttons on his phone and said the money was refunded. Never was. My girlfriend followed up with him and he refused to pay her back and was extremely rude. Ruined a present, lied, and was extremely mean to my girlfriend. read more

Killer experience! Literally felt like I was being killed sometimes and couldnt be any happier. My experience was throroughly enjoyable and I have 0 complaints. My ankle feels 100 times better than it did before. Thanks for the awesome job, and ill be contacting you in a couple months when I get back to town. Thanks brother. Onelove! read more

I went to a yoga class the day after Dameione worked on me and I was able to be comfortable in positions that have never been comfortable before. I can sit on the floor with my legs crossed for the first time (ever!) and I'm noticing that I don't stand with one hip jutting out anymore. I'm excited for my next appointment to work on migraines. This healing protocol is amazing! I'll keep you posted! read more

My first session was amazing and I'm counting down until my next appointment. The treatment can be painful, but in a very good way. I've done monthly massages for many years and never felt as good as I did after one Rolfing session! read more

I had plantar fasciitis. I used a boot for 3 months and the Dr told me I had to use it for another 2 months and probably pay for some expensive rehabilitation massages, etc. Thankfully I found Dameion. After 4 visits the pain went away and I was able to exercise again. Rolfing is definitely painful but so worth it. I brought my husband who had terrible headaches and he also loved it. I absolutely recommend it. read more

miracle worker. hurts like hell while you're there but damion has a calm demeanor that makes it bearable. left there softer, with drastically less pain, and better posture. read more

Thank goodness for Dameion. He saved me from years of suffering with chronic pain. I had a severely misaligned hip, he completely fixed it in 4 sessions. It did take some time for my body to adjust and really notice the results. In addition to helping with my hip pain, he improved my digestion to a degree as an added bonus to the work he was doing on my hip (the two are largely connected). My only point of discernment is that while I appreciate that Dameion will work on specific issues, the treatment modality is really meant to be a full body experience and I feel I would have greatly benefited from doing the whole 10 session package. That said, I am so grateful I was able to get my hip realigned as I can now rebuild strength in it and workout/dance (just move!!) again. I will be going back to eventually get the full 10 sessions once I can afford it. Everything in the body is connected to everything else and so I feel that doing the entire package would have been the most ideal process for my body to experience complete healing. I will say my digestion has improved about 65-70% and my hip function has improved 85-90% (I have muscular weakness leftover in my hip but I am working on correcting it so while I still have some slight pain I am able to work my hip in a functional way now in order to regain the strength that was missing). THANK YOU DAMEION!! Side note: this work is painful, it takes commitment, an open mind and a positive attitude that you WILL heal. Dameion has a true gift of healing, but you cannot resist it or be afraid of the pain. Also, he's a very interesting guy to chat with :) read more

I was pleasantly surprised by how effective the rolfing technique was. It really helped my tight back and shoulders. I have terrible issues with my jaw and he was able to massage it from the inside of my mouth. The jaw massage isn't comfortable at the time but it helped loosen my jaw quite a bit and I recommend it to anyone who has tmj. Looking forward to having more work done here. read more

I struggled with handful of issues with my shoulder and back over last few years after car accident. I have seen two sets of physical therapists and chirpos and spent thousands for almost no benefit. I met Damien through a friend and saw him 5x and was healed. It didn't happen overnight with first session by any means, we had to plan and work together and trust him. I am not exaggerating, I had constant pain and numbness over last 13 months and after 5 sessions I am healed. Thank you thank you thank you. read more

Dameion will really get you up and going. He has fixed problems with my hips and back that have plagued me for years. You will probably see from other reviews that this treatment is pretty intense, but I promise it works. I can't recommend this guys enough. read more

Dameion is one of the most skilled therapists I have ever worked with! His treatments have helped me with chronic headaches, hip pain and through my pregnancy and postpartum period. I highly recommend seeing him, not only had he helped me tremendously but has also helped many of my clients and is one of the only therapists I will refer out to. His work is through, comprehensive and effective! I always feel lighter, more balanced and energized after working with Dameion. read more

A friend of mine bought me a Groupon for here for my birthday. But Damieon gave me a far from ordinary massage! Throughout he explained the techniques of Rolfing massage and all its long term benefits! And I have to say, I've never felt better. Not sore or tried after but strong, relaxed and confident. It was absolutely amazing and I will definitely be back! read more

Damieon is amazing! Went in for my first rolfing treatment and he not only worked out a good number of knots but he explained the process and benefits to me. He is very kind and very professional. I will definitely be back for more sessions so address my bodybuilding/athletic needs. read more

I am a hairstylist, so I'm on my feet and have my arms up in the air all day long. I have had insane shoulder, back, and neck pain for years. I stumbled upon Dameion looking for something that got me results than a massage. His technique is much more intense than a massage but the results are almost immediate! I wish I would have found him years ago. In one session he got more knots out of my back than the last couple of years combined. I recommend him! read more

Dameion did an excellent job! I had not had a real massage in a very long time, and I was a little nerves at first that the deep tissue work might be too intense for me. He was very friendly and informative, and the massage was just the right amount of pressure. I could feel the knots in my body dissolving that were built up over years. read more

Before going to see Dameion I had a lot of consistent pain in my shoulders and upper back. I have always loved massage but it has not had a lasting effect. Dameion is excellent at working out knots and pain permanently. I have gone to him monthly for a year and a half and would still be miserable with my pain without him. read more

Better than any other massage I've had! Dameion uses his unique skills to address the specific problems or pains you're having in your body.

I have gotten a good amount of massages over the years for general therapy but mostly to address a large knot on my shoulder/neck. I can honestly say that I have never felt better about actually making real progress towards getting rid of that knot than I did after just 1 session with Dameion. He also does a series of 10, addressing the entire body which I look forward to doing soon because it is clear it will not just provide relief but is important for physical health. read more

I am looking forward to my massage tomorrow! I am writing now because I had purchased Groupon, and after making my appointment, my GPS had taken me some way totally out of the way, twice. I was nearly half way to Boulder on one of my treks. Although normally I would be out of luck, Dameion was kind enough to let me reschedule. He was also quick to text me so that I had his contact information, and although he tried to help me get to the right place, my tardiness was going to move into his next appointment. Cant wait for tomorrow!! read more

I initially met Dameion when I came in for a deep tissue massage to relieve pain/in-mobility in my shoulder that has been ongoing for a couple years. He informed me about the Rolfing practice and I left that first session with great results. I decided to come back for the full Rolfng structural integration which is 10 sessions. I have one session left and could not be happier with the results. Not only has my shoulder regained full range of motion and is painless, but many other parts of my body that were causing me pain have also improved beyond my expectations (e.g., lower back, ankles, knees). If you have any type of pain, I highly recommend Dameion! read more

Dameion's hands (and elbows) are magic! He is professional, kind, and and very skilled. I have rheumatoid arthritis and my body is all out of whack, Dameion's sessions are really making me feel better. I highly recommend him! read more
