We believe in health at every size & that people
living in all bodies deserve access to health care services.
When you come to Sore Spots, we readily welcome you to receive care & therapy on our treatment tables no matter your activity level, body size, shape and composition. EVERY BODY is entitled to have experiences that therapeutically, ‘feel good’.
FYI:
BMI (body mass index) is ineffective at determining a person’s health related to their weight. BMI is mostly useful when looking at weight across a population. Your body type, weight distribution & posture does affect different systems in the body. Our focus as health care providers will always be on function & well-being. We believe it’s more important to connect to relief of tension & mobility goals & our treatments always aspire to help you feel more at home in your body.
TREATMENT NOTES:
Remember that during treatments you will only disrobe to your comfort level.
For table treatments, we only ever undrape the area that we are working on at that time.
For larger body types, we can extend the width of our tables to allow for greater arm comfort.
We use additional pillows, wedges & positions such as side lying work to make sure your body gets the most out of every treatment.
Our electric lift tables have a weight capacity of 600 lbs & are regularly maintained.
Many of our larger bodies prefer receiving barefoot massage therapy due to the broad depth of contact and pressure that can sometimes feel like a better ‘fit’ for larger bodies than typical hands-on massage treatments. However, our goal is to work with you to create a treatment plan that fits your goals, while helping you feel better in a way that is respectful to you. We offer many types of treatments, and will work with you to find what fits best for your body.
