Who is a candidate for Renew Movement™?
If you’re cleared for deep tissue work, you’re a candidate. Please call us any time if you have questions about contraindications.
What should I expect after my first session? Are there aftercare tips?
Most people feel much looser and describe their body as feeling lighter; especially their first session. It’s not uncommon to feel a little sore in the days following your first session as well. We suggest taking it easy, taking a few walks and drinking extra water. We ask that you not do heavy weight lifting or try to beat your fasted mile (even though your body may feel great and ready!) as your body is acclimating to the new range of motion. Some people who have come in for chronic pain issues will find that the pain has moved in the days following their session; this is very common as the body unwinds. In some cases, people take a few days to feel the change. We are always available to answer questions about how you’re feeling after your sessions: 303.467.3639
What do I wear?
Comfortable clothing that is easy to move in (workout clothes).
Is a Renew Movement™ session intense?
Renew Movement™ is a deep fascia stretch that involves pinning of the tissue (think weight into a tight spot on your body) by the Coach during active movement by the client (think stretching and moving by the client). Our modality breaks up deep adhesions that are limiting movement and creating pain. Our sessions can be intense if you prefer a deeper tissue approach. However, you are 100% in control of the intensity of your session. Your Coach will be in constant communication with you to make sure the intensity falls within your comfort zone.
How often do I need Renew Movement™ sessions?
Your Coach will have a conversation with you about your current concerns, your goals and how we get you there. For most people experiencing repetitive use injury, chronic pain concerns or acute injury or recovery, we will likely recommend a package to get your tissue to recognize new “habits” and movement patterns that will get you feeling your best. After a chronic issue has been addressed we suggest a membership to keep your body feeling well with a session or two a month.
Additional things that factor into reaching your goals:
1) How long you’ve had immobility or pain
2) How frequently you cause strain on your tissue (exercise)
3) How you take care of yourself after a session
