What You Need Is What We Do.

After over 15 years in the wellness and movement space we have learned that there is a massive gap in service. We have seen countless people over the years live with pain or dysfunction because they thought it is an inevitable result of aging or their health care provider simple couldn't find a solution to the problem.

We operate differently. We take a total body approach to helping people live without pain or increasing their athletic performance.

We focus on the connective tissue and the fascial lines by Tom Myers to help our clients understand how the body is all connected. The human body is amazing. We often say where the pain is the problem is not. What we mean is that since everything is connected you may have pain in your shoulder as a result of dysfunction in your hip.

Where to start?

Are you ready to live pain free or move without restrictions? Do you want to increase your performance at the gym? The Recovery Lab takes a total body approach and starts with listening to what it is that you need. The first thing we need to do is start with a baseline.  

Let's get you in for an assessment so we can see and feel what we challenges we are faced with. During this assessment we will also tell you more about our philosophy and our method.  After that we will do a postural analysis, movement assessment, and a table assessment.  

Once we have a full understanding of your concerns and challenges we can decide from there if we are a good fit and that you want us to help you on this journey.

In most common cases we can get amazing results for our clients in four sessions however every client is different and requires a different level of intervention and protocols that vary in length. The objective is to move all clients to a maintenance phase.  
The goal is to empower you on how to take care of your own body.

faq

frequently ask questions
What is the cancellation policy?

In the event that you need to cancel you will need to provide 24 hours notice. Failure to cancel appointments at least 24 hours in advance will result in a charge of 50% of the cost of service. No-show will result in a charge of 100% of the service.

What do I need to do to be ready for my session?

To ensure the best results please ensure your body is well-hydrated prior to your session. For bodywork and stretch sessions please come with athletic clothing. Sports bras and biker shorts are ideal yet, racerback shirts with Yoga pants or tight joggers can work as well.

Is your office accessible?

We do have stairs to get into the building and to our office which is located on the second floor. If you need accommodations please reach out to us prior to booking your session.

Where are you located?

We are inside the Burn Boot Camp on the second floor. If the door is located simply call us and we will come down to greet you.

I would like a membership is there a contract?

We offer memberships for at least 3 months. After 3 months you may cancel your membership with 30 days written notice. No phone cancelation may be processed.

What is the parking situation?

There is plenty of free parking.

Does Stretching hurt?

Nope. It is gentle but POWERFUL. It should never hurt. We work with your breath as well to ensure we stay in a safe and comfortable range.

what to wear?

The first thing is you should wear what you feel comfortable in.  With massage therapy you will disrobe to your comfort level and will be draped throughout the duration of the session.  For a Stretch and Bodywork Session we strongly suggest shorts with a tank top or sports bra.  Bulky sweatshirts and pants are too thick to be able to reach some levels of tissue.
