Care
Soft tissue care
Soft tissue care is hands-on work on muscle and tendon, matched to where you are in your training week.
We use hands and simple tools, and your doctor adjusts pressure to what you can take. Some people ask for it before an event and some after. We plan it with you.
A visit
What a visit includes
A talk about your week
What you did, what is coming and which areas feel tight.
An exam and movement check
Where the area moves well and where it does not.
Hands-on work
Pressure and movement on the muscles and tendons you and your doctor agreed on.
Your say on pressure
Say lighter or stop at any time. We change what we do.
A note on what to do next
A few ideas for the next day or two, such as easy movement.
Good to know
Before you book
How long and how often
A visit runs 20 to 30 minutes. Your doctor sets a plan after the exam, and does not promise a number of visits.
What we do not claim
We do not claim soft tissue work removes anything from your body, or that it replaces rest, strength work or a physician's care.
See a physician first
See a physician first for a swollen, hot or very painful calf, a sudden loss of strength, or an injury you cannot put weight on.
How it is paid
Some plans pay for part of a visit and some do not. The fees page explains how billing works.

Questions
Questions about this care
Will I be sore afterward?
Some people feel sore for a day, like after a hard session. Tell your doctor and they will use less pressure next time.
Can I come before an event?
Yes. Tell us the date and we plan around it. Your doctor may suggest lighter work close to the event.
Do you work with massage therapists?
We work with the people you already see. With your written permission we share what we found.
