The Three Layers
Why Stacking Beats a Massage Alone
2. Focus Cryo
Localized cold applied to the exact joint or tendon that is angry, without the whole-body cold plunge. Calms the hot-spot so the massage work holds. Focus Cryo details →
3. SoftWave (1,000 pulses)
Acoustic wave therapy that stimulates circulation and the body’s own repair response in tendons, fascia and muscle. We deliver 1,000 pulses per session, double the typical dose. SoftWave details →

★★★★★
“Blown away by Keanen’s knowledge of both anatomy and kinesiology. He knew how and where to find the source of my tension and got straight to that source. He’s got extremely strong hands for those of us who need deep tissue. I’m going back, hidden gem!”Amanda C. · Google review
★★★★★
“I got a deep tissue massage from Keanen and it was one of the best massages I have ever had. He is very knowledgeable and intuitive. I have been to him several times and each massage is different based on my needs and issues. I highly recommend him!”Stacy S. · Google review

Frequently Asked Questions
Sports Recovery Stack FAQs
What is the Sports Recovery Stack?
A single visit that layers three recovery tools: hands-on sports massage to reduce muscle tension, Focus Cryo to calm inflamed hot-spots, and SoftWave acoustic wave therapy to stimulate circulation and tissue repair in the areas you overload most. The intro Recovery Triad also includes ortho laser therapy.
How long does a stack visit take?
Plan on 75–90 minutes for the full stack. The intro version — a $75 consultation with Multi-Physio body scan plus the $125 Recovery Triad (SoftWave, Focus Cryo and ortho laser) — takes about an hour.
How much does it cost?
Your first visit is $200: $75 for the consultation and body scan, plus $125 for the Recovery Triad. After that, each component is priced on its own (sports massage from $120, SoftWave $225 per 1,000-pulse session) and memberships take 5–15% off with free add-ons.
Is it only for athletes?
No. Runners, cyclists, CrossFitters and weekend athletes use it most, but anyone with a physically demanding job or a training schedule that leaves them sore for days is a good fit.
How often should I do it?
Most active clients book the stack every one to two weeks during heavy training blocks, then drop to monthly maintenance. Your practitioner will suggest a cadence after the first scan.
Can I do it the day before a race or game?
Massage and cryo the day before are usually fine at lighter intensity; deeper tissue work and SoftWave are better placed two or more days out. Tell us your event date when you book.
