Athlete Recovery
Play hard, recover clearly, and show up ready again.
Common problems this helps: restricted mobility and range of motion
Sound familiar?
You don't need every box. One or two checked hard is enough.
- You play hard, then spend the next few days waiting for your body to catch up
- One shoulder, hip, calf, or low back area keeps tightening no matter how much you warm up
- Matches, practices, lifts, and travel stack faster than you recover
- Your first few minutes on court or field are spent bargaining with stiffness
- You do not need a sport-specific page. You need a plan built around your sport.
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.
Sport-specific load
Tennis serves, pickleball lunges, rec-league sprints, cycling posture, tournament weekends, and the assessment follows your actual calendar.
Shoulders, hips & spine
The rotation, reach, brace, and change-of-direction patterns most adult athletes keep asking from the same areas.
Lower legs & feet
Calves, ankles, arches, and feet that have to push, stop, slide, land, and recover before the next session.
Recovery timing
Hands-on work placed around matches, practices, heavy training, and travel so the plan supports the season instead of interrupting it.
What you get back, in plain terms.
- Start matches or workouts feeling ready instead of negotiated.
- Recover between play, practice, and training without guessing what to stretch next.
- A plan that fits your sport, even if your sport is not listed anywhere else.
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.
Adult athletes across Kansas City North use this one: tennis and pickleball players, rec league regulars, runners, and anyone training toward something specific. MMI is at 1201 NW Briarcliff Pkwy in Briarcliff, a short drive from Gladstone, Parkville, and Liberty. Visits get timed around your season instead of dropped in at random.
Before you book.
What does this program cost?
$199 a month in season, covering two focused visits each month plus the between-visit work. It starts with an intake and a 30-minute massage. You can cancel at the end of your season.
How many visits is it?
Two a month, month to month, for as long as your season runs. The first visit is an intake and 30-minute massage so Chris has a baseline. After that the timing follows your competition calendar.
How is this different from a regular massage?
A regular massage happens when you get around to it. This one is timed to your season, tracks the restrictions that keep coming back, and re-checks them rather than starting from scratch every visit. It's maintenance with a memory.
Is this a fit for tennis or pickleball players?
Yes. It's the general athletic program, built for adults in tennis, pickleball, rec leagues, running, and training blocks that don't have their own dedicated page. If your sport is soccer, rugby, or golf, those programs are more specific and worth starting with instead.
