Body work gets you back on your feet—and keeps you there.
Body work sessions vary largely from person to person. Over the last 10 years in this space I can capture 99% of the people that use body work into 3 categories. In no particular order: 1. There are those folks that use body work sessions to address a specific issue like back pain, or a sprained ankle, whiplash or another acute/chronic problem. Once that problem is better, that person moves on and I won’t see them again until another issue pops up. 2. There are also those clients that will use REV as a feel good luxury. They want to get on the table because they like how body work feels, they use body work as an active recovery day, and is part of their general health and wellness regimen. 3. Lastly, there are some that use body work as prevention or maintenance to stave off injury, to get a system recovery flush, and to keep muscles sliding and gliding like they are suppose to.
Assess, don’t guess.
If you are coming to REV for targeted body work (muscular pain, stiffness, sensitivity) you can expect 5-10 minutes of health history and intake on injury/specific issues. Potentially followed by range of motion testing, postural assessment, tissue inspection, and maybe some Function Range Conditioning (FRC), etc. We want to collect as much data as we can before you get on the table, so we can maximize the time in your tissue if we feel that that is the best course of action.
If you are using REV for general health, wellness, feel good, & maintenance, intake is much shorter. We can get you on the table sooner, as there are no specific issues to assess.
