Personalized Assessment

You can tell us your symptoms and what you want to achieve, but your body will communicate a more complete story.

The first step in facilitating treatment at Tri-Covery is always a Therapeutic Needs Assessment. Your recovery therapist will take the time to get to know you, learn about your athletic or injury experience and take you through some basic tests to determine exactly what your needs are. Your therapist will then create an individualized recovery plan that addresses those needs and may include a combination of massage and flexibility therapies.

We encourage you to ask questions. We want you to understand how the suggested therapies work and how they can benefit your body and help you achieve your recovery goals.

Tri-Covery Therapies

Fascial Stretch Therapy

There are a limited number of Fascial Stretch Therapy® (FST) trained therapists in the nation, but you’ll find many of them at Tri-Covery. Tri-Covery is one of the few recovery facilities that has sent therapists to the Stretch To Win Institute for training and certification in this revolutionary new therapy. This unique manual therapy technique is being sought out by pro athletes, weekend athletes and individuals suffering with chronic pain for its amazing results. Ask us how Fascial Stretch Therapy® (FST) can help you. Learn more about Fascial Stretch Therapy® (FST).

Massage Therapy

Massage therapy is a hands-on treatment that uses skilled touch and targeted techniques to relieve muscle tension, reduce pain, and improve how the body moves and recovers. By working on muscles, connective tissue, and the nervous system, massage therapy helps increase circulation, decrease inflammation, and restore balance within the body. It is commonly used to support injury recovery, manage chronic pain, reduce stress, and improve athletic performance, while also promoting relaxation and overall well-being. When applied intentionally and based on individual needs, massage therapy is both a therapeutic and preventative tool that helps the body function more efficiently and feel better over time.

PEMF Therapy

A Pulsed Electromagnetic Field (PEMF) machine is a non-invasive recovery and wellness technology that uses low-frequency electromagnetic pulses to stimulate cells and support the body’s natural healing processes. These pulses help improve cellular communication and increase energy production (ATP) within the cell, which can reduce inflammation, relieve pain, and enhance tissue repair. PEMF therapy is commonly used to support joint health, muscle recovery, bone healing, and circulation, and is popular among athletes, rehabilitation clinics, and wellness centers. Gentle and safe when used properly, PEMF works best as a complementary therapy alongside movement, massage, and other recovery treatments rather than as a standalone solution.

Cupping Therapy

Cupping therapy is a manual therapy technique that uses suction cups placed on the skin to create negative pressure in the underlying tissues. This suction gently lifts the skin, muscles, and fascia, helping to increase blood flow, reduce muscle tension, and improve tissue mobility. Unlike massage, which applies pressure downward, cupping works by decompressing tissue, making it especially effective for tight, restricted, or overworked muscles. Cupping is commonly used to relieve pain, reduce inflammation, and support recovery in athletes and active individuals. It can be performed statically (cups stay in one place) or dynamically (cups glide over the skin), and the circular marks that sometimes appear are a normal response caused by increased circulation—not bruising. When applied appropriately, cupping is a safe and effective complement to massage, stretching, and other recovery therapies.

IASTM (Graston)

IASTM stands for Instrument-Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization. It is a manual therapy technique that uses specially designed tools (usually stainless steel or hard composite instruments) to treat muscles, tendons, ligaments, and fascia. In practice, a clinician glides these tools along the skin to identify and treat areas of tissue restriction, scar tissue, or adhesions. The controlled pressure helps break down dysfunctional tissue, improve blood flow, and stimulate the body’s healing response. IASTM is commonly used to improve mobility, reduce pain, and accelerate recovery from injuries, especially in athletes and active individuals. It is often combined with stretching, corrective exercise, or movement training for best results.

Percussive Therapy

Percussive therapy is a recovery technique that uses a handheld or mounted device to deliver rapid, rhythmic pulses into muscles and soft tissue. These quick, targeted vibrations help relax tight muscles, reduce soreness, and improve blood flow by stimulating the nervous system and increasing circulation to the treated area. Percussive therapy is commonly used by athletes and active individuals to speed up recovery, enhance mobility, and prepare muscles for activity. It can help decrease muscle stiffness, improve range of motion, and reduce post-exercise soreness when used properly. As a non-invasive and efficient tool, percussive therapy works best as a complement to stretching, massage, and corrective exercise rather than a replacement for hands-on care.

Corrective Exercise

Corrective exercise is a targeted approach to movement training designed to identify and address muscle imbalances, mobility restrictions, and faulty movement patterns that can lead to pain, injury, or decreased performance. It uses specific exercises to improve mobility where movement is limited, strengthen muscles that are underactive, and retrain the body to move more efficiently. Rather than focusing on general fitness, corrective exercise emphasizes quality of movement and proper mechanics. It is commonly used in rehabilitation, sports performance, and injury prevention to reduce stress on joints, enhance stability and coordination, and support long-term physical health. When combined with manual therapies like massage or IASTM, corrective exercise helps make treatment results last by reinforcing better movement patterns.

Lymphatic Drainage

Lymphatic drainage is a gentle, specialized manual therapy technique designed to stimulate the lymphatic system and encourage the movement of lymph fluid throughout the body. The lymphatic system plays a key role in removing waste, excess fluid, and inflammatory byproducts while supporting immune function—but unlike the cardiovascular system, it has no pump and relies on movement and light stimulation to flow effectively.

Lymphatic drainage uses slow, rhythmic, and very light pressure to guide fluid toward lymph nodes, helping reduce swelling, improve circulation, and support the body’s natural healing processes. It is commonly used for post-surgical recovery, injury-related swelling, chronic inflammation, lymphedema, and overall recovery and wellness. When performed correctly, lymphatic drainage is relaxing, non-painful, and highly effective as a complement to massage, exercise, and rehabilitation.

Red-Light Therapy

Red light therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses specific wavelengths of red and near-infrared light to support the body’s natural healing and recovery processes at the cellular level. When this light penetrates the skin and underlying tissue, it stimulates the mitochondria—often called the cell’s “powerhouse”—to produce more energy (ATP). This increase in cellular energy helps reduce inflammation, relieve pain, improve circulation, and accelerate tissue repair.

Red light therapy is commonly used for muscle recovery, joint and tendon health, injury rehabilitation, skin rejuvenation, and overall wellness. It is gentle, safe when used properly, and cumulative in its benefits, making it an effective complementary therapy alongside exercise, massage, and other recovery or performance-based treatments.
