FAQ

What is SummaMobility? What do you do and how are you different from a massage?

SummaMobility is a top to bottom soft tissue mobilization provider. We provide general & targeted soft tissue work via Body Tempering & Focused Flexibility that can be beneficial if you are struggling with aches, pains, or lack of flexibility & mobility.

The key differences between what we do and a massage is that we provide consistent global pressure & do not require disrobing or use of any topical lotions, gels, or oils on your skin. All you have to do is show up, get rolled, & then head out to enjoy your day.

Who is SummaMobility for?

SummaMobility can benefit everyone, but those who see the greatest improvements are those who are not currently strength training or receiving bodywork (soft tissue). The oldest client we have is 92 and we also work with youth athletes who are seeking flexibility & mobility improvement that will give them a competitive edge as they move into advanced levels of performance.

What should I expect during a session?

Each session ranges from 40-60 minutes and involves working on various areas of the body. You will also be moving in and out of various positions to improve overall flexibility & mobility.

What should I wear for my appointment?

Athletic wear is best as it allows you to move easily. Also, don’t forget your socks.

Does Body Tempering hurt?

You may experience some discomfort in areas that are restricted, but the level of discomfort you experience will subside over time as your system adapts.

How will I feel after a session?

The way you feel afterwards is dependent on several factors such as hydration levels, soft tissue restrictions, experience with strength training, and frequency of bodywork. You should feel light and less restricted with an overall feeling of relaxation.

How often should I come in for a session?

If you are completely new to bodywork, we recommend once a week for the first four weeks to let your system adapt to the new stimulus. After that, a maintenance protocol of once or twice a month is recommended.
