How are your sessions different?

Our sessions are very goal oriented. You will meet your therapist with your issue and come up with strategy to help with the issue instead of only spending a few more min on the area like you would at a spa. Our clients will be in athletic attire during the session for comfort and movement during the session. Once the session is done your therapist will go over a recovery plan to help you with your goals. There are also options for Red light therapy, PEMF, compression and cryotherapy in session (once available).

How long are your sessions?

Most sessions are typically an hour, depending on your goals. They can be as short as 10 min for pre event, 30 min for quick work in one small area, or as long as 90 min if you want or need extra time. 2 hour session are available on case by case basis.

What can I expect during my massage?

Our manual therapy uses a variety of techniques that have been proven to alleviate pain, increase Range of Motion (ROM), decrease recovery time and even increase performance. We use techniques like, Myofascial Release, Graston Technique (scraping), Deep Tissue, etc.

Who can benefit from VERVE Muscle Recovery?

EVERYONE! Even though we have a high focus with athletes, everyone can benefit from routine bodywork.

Will it be painful?

Deep focused sessions can be uncomfortable at times but it should not be painful. Massages also do not have to hurt to be effective. There is a line between pain and discomfort and that should be communicated. Your therapist will be able to tell if it gets to be too much and will adjust accordingly. At times there maybe some soreness post session but it has been compared to having a good workout. You should never leave a session feeling worse than when you came in

What should I do before and after my session?

Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate!!! Hydration will help the muscle fibers and fascia glide better if it is more hydrated. It will also help the muscle function better and allow nutrients and waste move better.

Do your self care homework! Your therapist may give you some self care tips to help you between sessions. Make sure to keep up with those to help you recover better.

How frequently should I get bodywork?

This depends on how active you are. The more active and competitive you are, the more important your recovery will be. Also, if someone is coming in needing help with an injury may need to come in more frequently at first but taper off till you get to routine maintenance.
