This helps us to systematically identify the root cause of any pain, dysfunction, or areas holding you back from your movement potential. From this point, we will use a combination of deep tissue massage, manual therapy, fascial stretching, education, and progressive exercises to create lasting change.

Please note: Our sports RMT sessions at MVPR Therapy won’t feel like your ‘typical spa massage’! Our goal is to help you move better, so please come prepared with shorts and a sports bra/tank top as you can expect to be up and moving periodically throughout your session.
