The Body Shop at Apex Physical Therapy offers personalized, provider-assisted stretching as well as soft tissue work using foam rollers and trigger point balls to improve flexibility, reduce muscle tension, and enhance overall health and wellness. All clients receive our services in a private treatment room to enhance their sense of relaxation and well-being.
The Body Shop at Apex Physical Therapy sees clients during the week on Tuesdays and Thursdays and is here for you at the end of your busy work week on Saturdays as well.
Please note: The Body Shop is not intended to diagnose or treat injuries – we’ll leave that up to the clinical staff of physical therapists and physical therapists assistants at Apex Physical Therapy. Therefore, if a client is currently experiencing the effects of an acute injury, The Body Shop is not for them at this time. Moreover, if a client has a chronic injury or has undergone a previous surgery such as a joint replacement, they should first get clearance from a doctor, physical therapist, or similar healthcare provider before coming to The Body Shop.

Our Services
Provider-Assisted Stretching
We employ a specialized type of provider-assisted stretching at The Body Shop known as proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF). PNF stretching has been shown to be extremely effective in helping to gain muscle length.
Soft Tissue Work
In addition to provider-assisted stretching, our technicians at The Body Shop also provide soft tissue work using foam rollers and trigger point balls to relieve muscle stress and tension.
Clients can choose from either of our two pre-designed service packages with one of our Body Shop technicians:
Postural Package
If you sit all day at work, this is the package for you with targeted work to relieve tightness and tension in the hamstrings, glutes, hip flexors, chest, neck and back musculature.
Power Package
If you’ve been working out extra hard lately, this package will help you relax and recover by focusing on the quads, glutes, inner thigh, IT band, hip flexors, hamstrings, and calf.
Bundled Service Options are also available by combining a 50- or 25-minute massage with our licensed massage therapist followed by a 30-minute provider-assisted stretch session with one of our Body Shop technicians.
Health and Wellness Benefits
Numerous health benefits can be associated with the type of services we offer at The Body Shop including the following:
Injury Prevention
Stretching can help prevent muscles from becoming too tight, which can lead to injury and muscle strain. It can also improve a client’s balance and precision of movement.
Pain Management
When muscles are loose and relaxed, the client is less likely to experience aches and pains, cramps, and abnormal muscle tension.
Improved Athletic Performance
Stretching can help clients improve the range of motion necessary for training and competition allowing the client to perform better.
Improved Circulation
Stretching can help relax muscles, which can improve blood circulation. This can lead to increased oxygen delivery, reduced cramping, and improved performance.
Reduced soreness
Soft tissue work can help with delayed-onset muscle soreness (DOMS) that is typical after exercise. It can also help ease muscle pain and inflammation.
Increased flexibility
Foam rolling and trigger point ball work can help stretch and lengthen muscle fibers, which can improve the client’s range of motion and mobility. This type of soft tissue work can also be effective in breaking down scar tissue, which can help clients stretch further.
