Active Retirement
Keep every standing date on your calendar.
Common problems this helps: restricted mobility and range of motion; muscular tension with sciatica-like symptoms
Sound familiar?
You don't need every box. One or two checked hard is enough.
- Mornings start stiffer and take longer to loosen than they used to
- A day in the garden costs you the two days after it
- Getting up from grandkid floor time takes negotiation
- Your walks have quietly gotten shorter
- Everyone keeps telling you it's “just age”, and you're not buying it
They're symptoms. The program starts by finding what's driving them.
Assessed, planned, worked, proven.
The assessment
A focused intake and movement look, followed by 30 minutes of hands-on treatment. You leave knowing what's restricted, what may be driving it, and what the next step should be.
Your plan
A defined set of visits with a clear goal, built around your schedule and your season. You'll know the endpoint before we start.
The work
Focused hands-on visits plus the small between-visit pieces that make it hold. Chris chooses the tools, so you never have to.
The re-test
We measure against where you started. When the change holds, the program ends. That's the point.
Session rates are the same across programs: $60 for 30 minutes, $110 for 60 minutes, and $140 for 90 minutes. If a package makes sense, Chris will talk through it before you buy.
Where this program spends its time.
Hips & knees
The joints your favorite things depend on, supported by the soft tissue around them.
Hands & forearms
Gardening, golf, and grandkids all run through your grip.
Mobility that supports balance
Ankles, hips, and confidence on your feet.
Keeping what you have
And winning some back. The goal is your calendar, not a clinical number.
What you get back, in plain terms.
- Mornings that loosen in minutes, not hours.
- A garden day that costs a good night's sleep, nothing more.
- Saying yes to the trip, the round, the floor, without doing math first.
Every one of these is checked against your own starting point, and that's what the re-test step is for.
This program fits - or it doesn't.
Not sure which side you're on? That's exactly what the assessment answers, and Chris will tell you straight, including if the answer is a doctor before a massage therapist.
Briarcliff, Kansas City North.
Kansas City North has a lot of people who retired and then got busier. They come to 1201 NW Briarcliff Pkwy from Briarcliff, Gladstone, Parkville, and Liberty, usually because walking, golf, gardening, or keeping up with grandkids started costing more than it used to. The drive is short, and because everything is by appointment you're not sitting around waiting on a room.
Before you book.
What does this program cost?
$860 for the whole program, or two payments of $430 with no added fee. That includes the assessment, seven focused visits, the between-visit work, a mid-program check-in, and the final re-test. The price doesn't move after you start.
How many visits is it?
An intake and 30-minute massage, then seven focused visits over roughly six to ten weeks. Chris paces them to how you respond, not to a calendar. Travel and grandkid duty get worked around.
How is this different from a regular massage?
A regular massage feels good for a couple of days. This starts with what you want to keep doing, whether that's the walking route, the golf, or the garden, then works toward that specific thing and re-tests it at the end.
Am I too old for this kind of work?
No. Pressure and technique get matched to the person in front of Chris, so this looks different for a 70-year-old than for a lifter. What matters is what you want back and how you move now. If something needs a doctor first, Chris will say so.
